All the guys on this list will only be juniors in 2022 and have a chance to do big things once again this upcoming season. I always believe that quality quarterback play is more fun to watch and will keep games very interesting. Having a guy with experience is key to winning close games. The coaching staff will be excited to have these guys leading the huddle next year.
#10 Kannon Duffing | 2024 | Manchester | Hudl
Duffing had an outstanding year in 2021 for Manchester. His play earned him first-team All-Conference as just a Sophomore. He threw for 1,273 yards and 9 passing touchdowns. The first thing that stands out about his play is his arm strength. He has a strong arm and can hit receivers deep downfield in stride. Duffing does a good job of selling the play-action to keep the defense on their heels. I like how when he throws the ball deep he puts it where only his receiver can get it or no one can get it. Kannon Duffing throws a tight spiral and can put a good touch on the football. Duffing is great at anticipating when his receivers are going to come open. Duffing will play a big part in the success of the Manchester football team in 2022.
#12 Austin Tingley | 2024 | East Jackson | Hudl
Tingley is not afraid to throw the football down the field. Like Duffing, he throws an accurate deep ball. Tingley is a great athlete and can move around in the pocket very well. Tingley has the ability to throw on the run accurately. His release is very quick and fluid. A quick-release is key since it can allow you to get the football out of your hands while facing pressure. Austin Tingley does a good job of stepping up in the pocket when needed to allow himself more time to throw.
#7 Grant Bradley | 2024 | Napolean | Hudl
Bradley was the third leading passer this year in the Cascades Conference. He threw for 893 yards and 7 touchdowns. Bradley has the ideal size for a quarterback at 6-3 195 lbs. Bradley is great off of play-action and sells the run well. Like Tingley, Bradley has a quick release and is excellent at getting the football out of his hands quickly on screen passes. Bradley has good speed and quickness and can scramble for good yardage. Bradley has the arm strength to thread the needle on tight-window throws. He trusts his arm and makes every throw confidently. Bradley is athletic enough to complete passes rolling out to the right. I like Bradley’s game a lot and look forward to seeing him play in 2022.
#7 Jack Reid | 2024 | Grass Lake
Reid was one of the passing leaders in the Cascades Conference in 2021. On the year he threw for 734 yards and 4 touchdowns. Grass Lake has been a great football program for a long time and has a chance to be really good once again in 2022. Reid should have another productive year in 2022 and should play a big role in the success of the Grass Lake football team.
