Continue ReadingEntering into the playoffs, there always happens to be some players who are more prepared than others. Out of this list, those who are marching on to the playoffs are arguably some of the most prepared, as they have been airing the ball out all season long. Below, take a peek at how our ranking have most recently shaken up, as it could add an interesting spin to what this list could look like moving forward.
Aaron Philo

Philo

Prince Avenue Christian | 2024
State
GA
– Prince Avenue Christian
Philo, who went on a heck of a run as one of the leaders in passing last season, has continued to prove his worth to PAC, and has found himself at the top of this list again. This season, after just 9 games plated, Philo has put up 3,143 yards, with an average of 349 yards a game. Out of his 262 pass attempts he finished up with a 69% completion percentage, as he completed 181 passes. Out of all of these throws, he also passed for 37 TD’s, to only 5 interceptions. Look for he and his team to make a run in the playoffs.
Keegan Stover

Stover

Rabun County | 2023
State
GA
– Rabun County
After 10 games, Stover has continued to ball out for his team, as proven by the 2,942 yards he put up through the air. This, along with his average of 294 yard average per game, has put him at the 2nd place leader in passing on this last. He has finished the regular season with a completion percentage of 64%, with 34 TD’s, to just 1 interception. All in all, he has put up a great body of work in the regular season, and we look forward to seeing what he is able to accomplish moving forward.
Ben Guthrie

Guthrie

Alpharetta | 2023
State
GA
– Alpharetta
Guthrie has certainly done his part to lead his team to their fair share of success this season. To this point of the season, they have gone 7-3, with a 5-1 record in their region. Throughout this stretch, Guthrie has passed for 35 TD’s, and only 6 interceptions. His completion percentage to this point of time appears to be 61%, and he has thrown for an average of 290 yards a game. In total, he has thrown for 2,905 yards this season, and counting. Only time will tell how he finishes up on this list.
Tate Morris- McIntosh
Morris, who has thrown for a total of 2,871 yards this season, has also averaged around 287 yards a game in the air. This has come on just 187 completions, and a completion percentage of 64% so far this season. Within these totals, and percentages, Morris has led his team to the best of his ability, but we would like to see more accuracy and efficiency from him when it comes to the risks that he takes at times. This can be seen by the fact that he has thrown for 22 TD’s, but has also thrown for 9 interceptions this season.
Jai’que Hart
Jai’que
Hart
6'2" | 170 lbs | QB
Lithia Springs | 2023
State
GA
– Lithia Springs
Impressive enough, Hart has continue to ball out for his team, and has done so by not only passing for 27 TD’s, but for averaging around 281 passing yards a game- which is a huge deal for any offense. In the span of 10 games, Hart has also put up a total of 2,818 yards, with a completion percentage of 59%. Because of the gap in total passing yardage from he and the 6th place leader on this list, he has managed to effectively place himself as the 5th place leader in passing at this point of the season. We look forward to seeing how this pans out as the weeks go by.
