Georgia’s Most Underrated Senior QB’s

Georgia’s 2022 class is loaded with QB talent across the board. Led by the likes of Gunnar Stockton, MJ Morris, &amp; [player_tooltip player_id="33893" first="Sam" last="Horn"], a strong core has garnered plenty of Power-Five attention. Today, however, we wanted to look at the guys who are a bit under the radar and deserve much more attention. Their offer list may not be expansive right now, but I got a feeling that could change if they continue to have a strong 2021 campaign. <hr /> <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="33942" first="Robbie" last="Roper"], 6’3", 210, Roswell</strong></em> This young man is elusive when forced outside &amp; has to improvise. His body control and balance look like that of a running back &amp; not a quarterback. Roper can quickly set his feet and deliver strikes downfield to targets. He shows outstanding ball placement on third-level throws and an overall quick operation time. His feet are extremely calm in the pocket, and he shows exceptional timing. <strong>Offers: Western Carolina, Morgan State &amp; Morehead State</strong> <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11767043/6149290f4deb5d12581f40ae" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="119304" first="Kyle" last="Durham"], 6’1", 185, Johns Creek</strong></em> The first throw on this young man’s tape is just filthy. He quickly spots up rolling to his week side and delivers an absolute dime fifty-five yards downfield for a touchdown. There are not a lot of high school quarterbacks in the U.S. that can make that throw. Beyond that, Durham has been highly consistent on throws of twenty yards or more, putting enough air under it so his wideouts can run right underneath it. He shows good speed for a quarterback and can add value in the QB run game. <strong>Offers: Reinhardt &amp; Culver Stockton </strong> <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11618422/6145e8ee066af00930d9bd8d" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>Lonnie Ratliff, 6’1", 185, Duluth</strong></em> A natural thrower when forced off his spot. Ratliff is calm under duress and will keep his eyes downfield when the protection breaks down. He’s strong off play-action and can place the football into tight windows in zone coverage. If you don’t keep contain and lock-on during the scramble drill, Ratliff will make you pay. He displayed plenty of touch and the willingness to sit in the pocket and take a shot in order to hit his target. <strong>Offers: Army</strong> <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/10943873/614a20140c53c31014ba1de4" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <div></div> <em><strong>Christon Lane, 6’, 205, Warner Robbins</strong></em> Lane waited his turn to be the man, and it paid off big time. He’s been spectacular this fall, helping lead the Demons to a perfect 6-0 record. This is an intelligent quarterback who can ID man coverage pre-snap and will take a shot downfield after doing so. He shows excellent ball placement and will expedite his release with pressure coming. Lane’s throws look so effortless as he transitions his weight from his back foot through his hips to generate plenty of velocity. <strong>No offers</strong> <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/12364174/613df8ed96777308c0aabfd3" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <div> <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="33915" first="Tyler" last="Hughes"], 6’2", 200, Marietta</strong></em> A masterful thrower of the go ball who will drop it right into the breadbasket. He’s a dynamic runner with the ball in his hands who is equipped with pristine vision. This is a strong thrower on called sprint outs who easily squares his shoulders towards his target to ensure pinpoint accuracy. He is an even-keel quarterback prospect who doesn’t get rattled and will often get to his third read in his progression. </div> <div><strong>Committed to Southern</strong></div> <div></div> <div><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/12008500/614779014debad08b82f1e50" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div> <div></div> <hr /> <span style="font-size: 24pt;"><em><strong>Others to Watch</strong></em></span> <em><strong>Jacob Wright, 6’, 185, Oconee County</strong></em> <em><strong>Nyqua Lett, 6’2", 185, Creekside</strong></em>
