Tennessee Future Stars Breakdown: 8th Grade Quarterback (2027)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Since 2010 the Kentucky/Tennessee Future Stars Game has been an institution in the middle school football space, where many of the best kids from the bordering states have put an exclamation point on their pre-high school careers. Countless numbers of Tennessee and Kentucky Future Stars have gone on to big time college careers at major programs and some have gone even further. This event is certainly a special one and is a staple in my summer traveels. The evaluators and coaching staff that put together the Tennessee Future Stars do a great job of balancing skill sets and showcasing what the future of football will look like. Here's a look at the Quarterbacks on this year's eighth grade (class of 2027) Tennessee Future Stars.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378901"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Has all the makings of a future Division 1 Quarterback at this point, listed on the roster as 6-foot-4 and 160 pounds. At that size, it should come as no surprise he's also a standout on the basketball court. Was the MVP of Tennessee Future Stars seventh-grade team a year ago and is back for more. In my opinion, the alpha male here.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["446208"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The Volunteer State will feature another returner at the Quarterback position, in [player_tooltip player_id='446208' first='Cayden' last='Creech'].

At 5-foot-10 and 155 pounds his size translates well to being an overall athletic kid. Couple that with the fact that he played basketball and football at Montgomery Bell Academy (MBA) and that begins to paint a picture of what kind of prospect he could be.
