On the pre-high school level the competition at the position is great because the dream is still alive for most athletes, though some will eventually be moved to another position. We saw hundreds of quarterbacks this spring, but these are the 10 that earned MVPs.
The current eighth-grade prospect is a three-time Tennessee Future Stars team selection during his middle school years. Also a standout basketball player, he’s one of the best pure athletes in the Tennessee class of 2027 at this point.
The Massachusetts native attended the PRZ Next Camp in New Jersey during both the winter and spring of 2023 (his eighth grade year). At both camps he was QB1 or QB1A . He broke through and won the MVP at the spring 2023 camp and wow’d coaches, scouts, and anyone else with his mobility and arm strength.
Highlights
Bishop McDevitt, the No.2 team in the state of Pennsylvania during the 2022 fall season, will only continue to get better with Pennsylvania PRZ Next Camp MVP Sebastian Williams joining the program in the fall of 2023. Plays intelligently, confident and with a strong arm.
Highlights
Only a seventh-grader (class of 2028) during the 2022-2023 school year, Barrett is well-beyond his years in terms of development, talent and football mindset. Can make nearly every throw on the field that a coach could ask for. Whether in the pocket untouched or throwing on the move, he gets the job done.
Highlights
The South Carolina native made the trek North up to Georgia for our April 2023 camp in Gainesville and stole the show. Undersized comparably to the other standout 2027 signal callers around the country, at 5-foot-8 and 140 pounds. But he’s a dynamic dual-threat kid, equally as deadly with his 4.81 40 yard-speed than he is with his arm.
Highlights
Kreye made history in April 2023 by becoming the FIRST two-time winner of a PRZ Next Camp quarterback MVP award. After winning in at an insanely-talented DFW Camp in January, the future Guyer High School field general came back in April to win it again. He re-wrote the record brooks at Harpool Middle School and is only getting better.

AJ Pinedo-Bankston
AJ Pinedo-Bankston
A dual-threat quarterback with good size at 6-foot-1 with a 76″ wingspan, Pinedo-Bankston took home the QB MVP at our 2023 January Illinois camp. I was not aware of him before camp and was impressed after reading the reports and seeing his numbers after camp. A good athlete that is striving to become great and cashing in on natural ability.
On the same day (just a few hours behind) that Texas QB Zephyr Kreye made history by becoming the first QB to win two MVP’s at a PRZ Next camp, South Carolina’s Grayson Clary became the second. The big righty with a silky-smooth release took home the MVP this past January in Georgia and was on the money again in North Carolina this April.
Highlights
Hagger came into the Houston PRZ Next Camp in early April, as one of two middle school quarterbacks, that I felt could take home the MVP (2027 PRZ Next National Watchlist QB Braden Baker was the other). Ultimately it was the future Cypress Springs High School offensive leader that brought it home. Standing 6-foot-1, 180 pounds with the ability to place in Districts in the 100M hurdles, the future is blindingly bright.
Highlights
Though he didn’t win MVP at the late-April, combined high school-middle camp in Southern California, the seventh-grader (class of 2028) prospect was nearly the MVP of the camp. I feel it’s only appropriate to mention the Nevada prospect, because I heard from multiple college coaches that he was lights out from the opening whistle. I guess the University of Hawaii heard the same thing, as they offered him a scholarship just 10 days after camp.
