Zach Wilcke Zach Wilcke 6'3" | 180 lbs | QB Hernando | 2022 State MS will finish up the ranking cycle for ’22 as our top ranked QB in the state. The Hernando signal caller signed the dotted line for Coach Will Hall and Southern Miss during the early signing period and is thought of as the future QB in Hattiesburg. The reigning Region 1-6A MVP will be a perfect fit in Coach Hall’s Golden Eagle offense.
Deandre Smith Deandre Smith 6'2" | 210 lbs | QB Greenville Christian | 2022 State MS sat the world on fire for Greenville Christian in 2021 and has had an extremely busy couple of months on a recruiting front. Smith holds offers from a multitude of Group of 5 level schools in addition to virtually every junior college in the state. Smith is a true duel threat at the QB position that impresses with raw arm talent. As Smith continues growing into the position his upside will shine. We believe the future is very bright with Smith, who is number 2 on our QB list.
Neshoba Central is coming off a fantastic season due mostly to the senior QB Eli Anderson Eli Anderson 6'2" | 190 lbs | QB Neshoba Central | 2022 State MS . The Philadelphia native has an obvious feel for the position and has total control of the game. Good arm strength and accuracy pops on film. Anderson has some mechanical technicalities that will be worked out at the college scene and in return should improve his arm intangibles. I would not be surprised years from now to see Anderson be as successful as any QB talent in the class.
Someone will be getting a steal in Oak Grove QB/ATH Kabe Barnett Kabe Barnett 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Oak Grove | 2022 State MS . Real athleticism that cannot be taught is available in Barnett, who should be a picture perfect fit in an RPO spread set. As Barnett grows as a passer he will become a scary offensive weapon. Good frame and build for a traditional duel threat QB.
A sleeper to keep track of at the position is Kemper County duel threat QB Aaron Steele Aaron Steele 5'11" | 180 lbs | QB Kemper County | 2022 State MS . Steele is probably viewed as a true ATH at the next level due to his size but his numbers in 2021 spoke for themselves. Steele threw for 1,749 yards and ran for over 1,700 with 36 combined TD’s. Athleticism that wows is present and will allow him to move around skill positions on the offense or in the defensive backfield until a home is found. Steele has years worth of reps and has a good understanding of the game and what is asked of him.
