Highlighting every position, our objective is to give fans, college coaches and students the opportunity to see the many amazing football prospects we have here in the Sunshine State.
Between our team previews and daily prospect information, we have been fortunate to have put out over 3,000 football players since the early summer. It’s something that we have done since starting this website.
While many elite players get more than their share of the exposure, there are a number of gifted and talented young men who continue to fly under the radar.
Today, we give you a sampling of quarterbacks – in all classes to have thrown for over 1,000 yards with very little fanfare from the press and recruiting websites.
While some of these football players have been exposed via our many blogs and social media posts, there are others who many are seeing for the first time.
MORE HIDDEN GEMS
Make no mistake, the state of Florida is huge – with over 500 football playing schools from Key West to Pensacola and through two different time zones.
Because a state this large cannot fully be covered, it takes going to many off-season events to watch and see many of these prospects – which is huge when ranking, exposing and evaluating.
Among the talent that we check out on this Thursday includes Class of 2023 standouts Jerome Brazan (6-1, 170, Crestview), Damari Charlton (6-1, 185, Miami Southridge), Bronsen Tillotson Bronsen Tillotson 6'1" | 195 lbs | QB Suwannee | 2023 FL (6-1, 195, Live Oak Suwannee) and Yulee’s Chris Turner Chris Turner 6'1" | 165 lbs | QB Yulee | 2023 FL (6-2, 175).
The underclassmen have also started to make a lasting impression with players like Battle Alberson (6-2, 185, Gulf Breeze), William Burke (6-5, 185, Longwood Lyman), Clayton Dees (6-3, 175, Bradenton Lakewood Ranch), Jeremy Johnston Jeremy Johnston 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Florida State University FSUS | 2024 FL (6-2, 185, Tallahassee Florida High), Eli Moore (6-3, 224, Fort Myers Southwest Florida Christian), Harrison Orr Harrison Orr 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Fort Walton Beach | 2024 FL (6-2, 200, Niceville), Jackson Volz (6-1, 185, Parrish Community) and Jett Yurgealitis (6-1, 185, Fort Lauderdale NSU University School) getting it done in the junior class.
Sophomores (2025) have also turned heads this season – Taylor Crane (6-0, 190, Orlando Oak Ridge), Locklan Hewlett (6-1, 175, St. Augustine) and Merrick Rapoza (6-2, 190, Green Cove Springs Clay) already putting themselves on the radar.
