Each of these players, whether they decide or have the opportunity to play football at the next level, we feel has the talent and ability to play football past their senior year of high school! Take a peek at some of these prospects that we listed below.
Ronnie Baker

Baker
5'11" | 160 lbs | QB
Thomasville | 2021
GA
– Thomasville High School
Right away, one of the things that leaps off of the screen about Baker is his ability to throw the deep ball. Not only does he have a cannon, but has has shown the ability throughout the duration of this season to step up in the pocket and deliver deep strikes down the field. Along with this, he has also shown the ability to see the field decently well. Due to this, Baker is also able to use his ability to be an athletic player, with the ability to move well outside of the pocket, which helps his offense tremendously. Despite these great traits and abilities, one knock we do have on Baker, is his inconsistencies in his throwing motion and release. This often times effects his accuracy, causing some passes to get away from him.
Nathan Payne

Payne
6'3" | 215 lbs | QB
Mountain View | 2021
GA
– Mountain View High
When evaluating that tape of Nathan Payne Nathan Payne 6'3" | 215 lbs | QB Mountain View | 2021 GA , it is evident that he has good touch when delivering some of his passes, and that his arm strength does a ton for him in the passing game as well. With that being said, he understands the exact kind of pass to throw in specific situations, and often times, if his mechanics are fluid, he can get the ball there. Along with this, Payne also has shown the ability to make various kinds of throws, including that of intermediate sideline passes, and deep comeback routes. While we do feel he can play at the next level, we do want to see him set his feet better when in the pocket.
Pate Hogan Pate Hogan 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Valwood | 2021 GA – Valwood High
Pate Hogan Pate Hogan 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Valwood | 2021 GA , another underrated QB prospect within the 2021 class in Georgia, has shown time and time again that he can step up in the pocket, deliver strikes, and take big hits. When delivering these kinds of passes, he has done so with accuracy. While he moves a bit stiffly in the lower half of his body, we do like how he can keep his shoulders square, and strong. Along with this, he has shown decent footwork as well, and the ability to run the football.
Tanner Greene Tanner Greene 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Loganville | 2021 GA – Loganville High
One thing that stands out about Tanner Greene Tanner Greene 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Loganville | 2021 GA is his ability to get rid of the ball quickly. Not only does his fast release assist him in gaining necessary yards throughout the game, but it also has shown to assist him during times of immense pressure from the defense. Greene is also solid with his pocket presence and finding the open man, but we do feel he should work on reading through progressions. Along with this, we also want to note that while he puts a certain zip on the ball that helps it get to tight spots, he sometimes tries to take too many risks. All in all, while he is a solid player, we do feel that decision making wise, he could do better, but is good enough to play at a smaller school.
