Riley Brown- Saint Francis Catholic
6’3 170lbs
Brown took over the starting job last season for St. Francis Catholic and played in 9 games. Last season he passed for 1438 yards and 12 touchdowns. With the year of experience under his belt I look for him to make a big improvement in 2021.
Strengths: he’s a lefty quarterback that has good height and throws a nice deep ball with touch and anticipation. Brown also shows the ability to be able to use his legs to get out of trouble and is effective running the zone-read.

JP Pickles- North Florida Christian c/o 24
6’1 185lbs
Pickles will look to take over the reins this season and lead a North Florida Christian team that went 6-3 in 2020. He’s a very good sophomore Prospect it’s work really hard this offseason to improve his strength (315lb squat) and overall ability. Coaches should watch out for him this season.
Strengths: he started in the spring game and showed athleticism with being able to throw on the run with accuracy rolling out to either side, good athlete that maneuvers around in the pocket to buy time. Takes what the defense gives him and gets rid of the ball quickly.

Samuel Brooks- North Florida Educational
6’0 160lbs
Brooks is an outstanding athlete that excels not only quarterback but also as a defensive back. Brooks will look to lead North Florida Educational this season and try to get them over the hump and into the playoff race.
Strengths: very good athlete that can use his legs to scramble for big yards, show some accuracy on deep throws. Has good arm strength, most of his highlights are on the defensive side of the ball. Has the athleticism and skill to be able to play multiple positions at the next level.

Tremaine Hughes Jr.- St. John Paul II c/o 24
5’8 165lbs
Hughes is another young sophomore prospect that will turn some heads this season. He’s a dual-threat prospect that started last season as a freshman and impressed throwing for 1388 yards, 13 touchdowns, completed 58% of his passes, and rushed for 325 yards and three touchdowns.
Strengths: his height doesn’t seem to hinder him at all, shows the ability to find passing windows, gets rid of the ball fast, but his biggest asset is his ability to make plays on the fly and use his athleticism and speed to make big plays. Will improvise and make defenses pay with his running ability.

Last season he passed for 1041 yards, 13 touchdowns, completed over 52% of his passes and rushed for 328 yards and seven touchdowns. He’s picked up where he left off this spring running for two touchdowns and throwing for another in University Christian spring game.
