Prentiss Noland Prentiss Noland 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Langston Hughes | 2024 State GA – Langston Hughes
Arguably the top 2024 quarterback across Georgia, the Atlanta-area gunslinger is having a fantastic junior season while leading Langston Hughes to an undefeated season so far. The big-armed quarterback has been brilliant this fall, going 165/237 on the season for just under 3,000 yards and 40 touchdowns with just three INTs. The left-handed quarterback has a big arm, he’s been consistently accurate all over the field, and he’s smart with the football. He’s a leader, makes great decisions with the football, and has as much talent as anyone in the state. He’s playing terrific football and should have a big game against North Forsyth in week two.
Antwann Hill Antwann Hill 6'4" | 215 lbs | QB Houston County | 2025 State GA Jr. – Houston County
A big, strong-armed quarterback out of Middle Georgia at Houston County, Hill Jr has been phenomenal all season long as a sophomore this season. Thee 6-foot-4 190-pounder led the Bears to. close win over Brunswick in round one and will take on North Atlanta in week two. He threw for over 400 yards in round one, and the Bears will need him to air it out once agin this weekend. He’s playing better and better each week, showing why he’s one of the top 2025 QBs across the country. So far this season, the big sophomore is 231/322 for 3,173 yards and 35 touchdowns.
Ben Guthrie Ben Guthrie 6'1" | 175 lbs | QB Alpharetta | 2023 State GA – Alpharetta
One of the top senior QBs in the North Fulton area, Guthrie led Alpharetta to a strong season this fall, helping the program continue to rise year after year. The playmaking senior had some monster games this season, throwing for at least 300 yards in four games this season with a big 420-yard and 7-touchdown performance against Lassiter. He can run when he needs too, but Guthrie is a guy who can really win games with his arm. He’s been one of the leading passers in 6A this season, throwing for over 3,000 yards with an impressive 37 touchdown passes on the season. He led the Raiders to a big first-round win over Shiloh, and he’s looking to keep his high school career going strong with a win over Rome in week two.
Baxter Wright – Gainesville
One of the breakout 2024 QBs across the state this year, Wright has been extremely productive as a junior this fall for the undefeated Gainesville Red Elephants. The 6-foot-2 175-pounder has quickly become one of the top quarterbacks in the area and looking to take his squad deep into the 6A playoffs. A strong passer who can runs when he needs too, Wright is coming off an excellent round one game against Sprayberry where he threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns in a 51-21 victory. On the season, Wright has thrown for 2,402 yards and 27 touchdowns to just four INTs. He’s completing 72% of his passes and developing more and more with each game. It’s easy to see the talent, and he’s got a big matchup against South Paulding in round two this upcoming weekend.
