Top Ranked 2023 QBs

<span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://prepredzone.com/colorado/rankings/2023-rankings/">The class of 2023 rankings</a> list has been updated with a lot of movement happening among the quarterback group, which is a powerful testament to the hard work and dedication these athletes apply to their craft.</span> [caption id="attachment_38186" align="alignright" width="204"]<img class=" wp-image-38186" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/07/GunsDownDenver35-300x280.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="190" /> [player_tooltip player_id="22744" first="Brayden" last="Dorman"][/caption]<span style="font-weight: 400;">Holding onto the top spot is Vista Ridge gunslinger </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="22744" first="Brayden" last="Dorman"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Dorman is a big QB with an even bigger arm. The Arizona commit isn't just the top QB in the state, he is one of the top QB recruits in the nation.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Coming in at number two is Golden's </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="215284" first="Jazel" last="Riley IV"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> who has substantially elevated his standing as a prospect. His junior performance consisted of throwing for over 1,000 yards and running for over 1,000 yards in one of the better seasons the program has had in a while. Even though this elite dual-threat QB has yet to receive his first offer, Riley IV is one of the best athletes in the state with limitless potential.</span> [caption id="attachment_85826" align="alignright" width="197"]<img class="wp-image-85826" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/12/Cole-LaCrue-Broomfield-300x289.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="190" /> [player_tooltip player_id="62228" first="Cole" last="LaCrue"][/caption]<span style="font-weight: 400;">In the third-ranked spot is </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="150187" first="Joseph" last="Capra"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from Denver South with Broomfield's </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="62228" first="Cole" last="LaCrue"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> laying claim to the fourth-ranked position. Both mobile QBs have dual-threat abilities that have helped them see an uptick in their recruiting. Capra had an extremely impressive junior year and carried that momentum into the camp season, where he has earned two Division II offers. LaCrue's offseason has also been exciting, with him receiving a couple of D1 offers after putting on impressive performances at various camps.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Closing out the top five is </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="22741" first="Kaiden" last="Box"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from Skyline. His focus this offseason has been on developing his craft and showcasing his skills at camps and in club tournaments. In fact, Box was dropping dimes and turning heads while competing in national 7-on-7 competitions alongside Dorman with Team Full Gorilla. For programs searching for a tall pocket passer with an accurate Howitzer for an arm and the athleticism to escape and scoot, the name Box should be circled on the recruiting board.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><img class=" wp-image-327425 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/04/70-Garrett-Sauer-1-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="190" height="190" />The sixth spot was secured by Evergreen's </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="149357" first="Tommy" last="Poholsky"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, while Summit's </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="22748" first="Jack" last="Schierholz"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is sitting at seventh. Poholsky had an impressive junior season, and beginning to the summer, helping him to earn a preferred walk-on (PWO) from Iowa. Schierholz has started to see a rise in his recruiting stock, recently earning his first two D2 offers.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Wrapping up the top 10 QBs are </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="150189" first="Tyler" last="Kubat"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from Fossil Ridge, </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="153139" first="Garrett" last="Sauer"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from Windsor, and </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="149358" first="Levi" last="Paxton"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from Florence. Kubat is a towering downfield passer with outstanding strength, Sauer is a rising recruit with impressive mobility and arm strength, and Paxton is a dual-threat sleeper with great height and athleticism.</span> &nbsp; <span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img class=" wp-image-327418 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/04/79-Matthew-Dean-1-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="190" height="190" /></span>The top 15 QBs</span> <ol start="11"> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="22743" first="Matt" last="Dean"] | Highlands Ranch</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> [player_tooltip player_id="22751" first="Tavian" last="Tuli"] | Fountain-Fort Carson</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> [player_tooltip player_id="150452" first="Exander" last="Carroll"] | Regis Jesuit</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> [player_tooltip player_id="218213" first="Ethan" last="Cook"] | Arvada West</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> [player_tooltip player_id="376582" first="Evan" last="Rearick"] | Erie</span></li> </ol> &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href="https://prepredzone.com/colorado/rankings/2023-rankings/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Click here for the full class of 2023 rankings list.</span></a></span>
