The Updated 2024 Rankings brings stock-risers and fallers from every position, and today we’re going over the highest-rising Quarterbacks! This list includes 4 QBs ranging widely in location, skillset, offensive system, etc. Now, let's dive into 4 QBs who proved themselves this offseason! [player_tooltip player_id="188030" first="Connor" last="Wolf"] - Grand Rapids Catholic Central The Rise of [player_tooltip player_id="188030" first="Connor" last="Wolf"] has been fun to watch. We usually don’t rank athletes who haven’t had significant time on Varsity, but Wolf is a different story. The consistency and elite production during the offseason has skyrocketed Wolf from the Watch List to the #4 QB in the class. With the offensive line and receiving talent at Grand Rapids Catholic Central, I wholeheartedly expect Wolf to win the State Championship. [player_tooltip player_id="249012" first="Reqez" last="Nance"] - West Bloomfield You have to be good to be the starting QB for West Bloomfield and even better to start as a Sophomore. Nance had his ups and downs last season, but it was a statistically great year. This offseason, Nance has been turning heads with his work. Fundamentally he’s ahead of the curve, and he seems calmer in the pocket making accurate throws. This coming season will test Nance, but I am confident he’ll be able to perform at an elite level. [player_tooltip player_id="253216" first="Aiden" last="O’Brien"] - Lawton A definite lesser-known name, O’Brien, has improved his game during the 7-on-7 season, and Matt Sauter and I agree that he’s one of the best in class. Although the competition technically isn’t the best, he used the offseason to his advantage and put together some impressive performances, proving that he could compete with the big boys. In general, O’Brien has ideal size at 6’3 and gets good grades. [player_tooltip player_id="252599" first="Colton" last="Kinnie"] - Seaholm It’s especially tough to grade QBs in option systems such as the Veer, but Kinnie had a nice 7-on-7 season before baseball season. He proved last season that he could make the reads and be a bulldozer of a ball carrier, but the things most desired included throw accuracy/decision making, speed, and limiting turnovers. I’m more confident in his ability to make good throws when needed, and his 7-on-7 performance may change the flow of the Seaholm offense. It will be interesting to see what Kinnie & Seaholm can do this season. They should be a playoff team.
