Sutton helped lead the Jags to their first state championship in years although he missed the majority of the playoffs due to injury. From a physical standpoint the rising senior looks like he is ready to step onto a college football field. Good arm strength is evident. Mobility in the pocket is a sure-fire trait of Sutton who plays with power when he scrambles. Power 5 offers are coming in for Sutton who will have plenty of eyes on his injury recovery process. The Madison Central QB comes in at number 1 in the QB rankings.
Howard has the gun-slinger QB look down pat. Long and lanky type frame. Threw for nearly 3500 yards and 47 TD’s as a junior. Advanced technically. Moves well within the pocket thanks in part to good vision and “feel”. Steps up and delivers. Good arm motion that is well put together. Impressive in how he “throws guys open”. Good strength with room to improve. Howard is receiving Power 5 offers too but it feels this is just scratching the surface.
From down on the coast, Hubbard racked up plenty of accolades during the 2021 season. The QB led the Greyhounds to one of their most memorable seasons in history. True duel-threat guy that wins with athleticism. Gamer. Very much in control of the offense. Gets the job done. Will be an interesting recruitment to watch moving forward due to his offers both on the baseball and football fields.
Another guy to watch as we move forward, both on the baseball and football field, is Kaden Irving Kaden Irving 6'2" | 215 lbs | QB Gautier | 2023 State MS of Gautier. Irving is committed to Ole Miss for baseball, but has shown plenty of D1 potential on the football field, as well. Thick build that reminds some of Arkansas’ KJ Jefferson (North Panola product). Arm strength definitely is huge attribute. Technically raw but potential with work.
The Mississippi QB class has been on the weaker side for the past several years, but the 2023 group looks to change that!
