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!
Connor Wolf Connor Wolf 6'3" | 180 lbs | QB Grand Rapids Catholic Central | 2024 State MI – Grand Rapids Catholic Central
The Rise of Connor Wolf Connor Wolf 6'3" | 180 lbs | QB Grand Rapids Catholic Central | 2024 State MI 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.
Reqez Nance Reqez Nance 5'10" | 180 lbs | QB West Bloomfield | 2024 State MI – 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.
Aiden O’Brien Aiden O’Brien 6'3" | 180 lbs | QB Lawton | 2024 State MI – 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.
Colton Kinnie Colton Kinnie 6'2" | 225 lbs | QB Seaholm | 2024 State MI – 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.
