Colter Ginn – 2024 – QB – Perry
Despite performing at a high level against some of the best QBs in the state at the Elite 11 regionals, Ginn has flown well beneath the radar and is one of the best underrecruited QBs in Georgia. From head to toe, Ginn is an outstanding athlete with excellent mobility in his hips. He does a good job of rotating his hips to his target and setting his feet to throw off a firm base. Ginn has a twitchy, fundamentally sound delivery and has the arm strength to make each throw on the field. He is an expert when it comes to layering the football and hitting his receivers downfield in stride. The ball comes out of his hand as a perfect spiral and is often right on the money to his receivers. In the pocket, Ginn is athletic enough to evade rushers and keep the play alive. Outside of the pocket on the run, he looks comfortable and gets upfield before throwing. Should he produce at a high level this fall, Ginn could be a senior riser at the QB position who could crack the P5 threshold.
Kyle Green – 2024 – DL – Stockbridge
Green is a raw athlete with the bulk of his physical and general football development ahead of him. However, he is a prime late-bloomer candidate with the physical traits to make some noise on the recruiting trail. Coming in at 6’4 235 with an 83.5-inch wingspan, Green is exceptionally long and still has plenty of room to add weight across his body. Green is still honing in on the finer elements of DL play, but there is plenty to like on tape. For starters, he uses his length to his advantage, locking out his arms to create space between his body and the blocker. He also does a good job of attacking the outside and inside shoulders of the blocker, preventing himself from getting tied up. At times, he might get caught too far downfield or get flushed down the line, but he plays with a high motor and is able to cover a lot of ground in just a few steps. A few years of strength and conditioning training at the college level, and Green could absolutely contribute.
Miles Glover – 2025 – OL – Pace Academy
Despite not even cracking the varsity football scene, Glover has received D1 offers and interests. Why? Because he is a freak athlete with incredible upside. At 6’8 330, he is a specimen and already one of the most physically impressive 2025 offensive linemen in the state. After speaking with people close to Glover, it’s clear that he has the physical strength and athleticism to hold his own at a high level. Now, he just needs to add some experience and show how he handles Friday nights. If Glover can produce some solid tape this year, P5 schools should get involved here. Until then, he is literally a sleeping giant in Georgia.
Harrison Faulkner Harrison Faulkner 6'1" | 170 lbs | QB Oconee County | 2026 State GA – 2026 – QB – North Oconee
Faulkner picked up his first offer from MTSU back in June and there is a chance that more are on the horizon pretty soon. When evaluating Faulkner, it is clear that he has an advanced understanding of the QB position and has an uncanny feel for the field. He is extremely creative in the pocket, keeping the play alive and escaping the pocket with the intent to throw. Even while on the move, he is able to go through his reads and survey the field the same way he would if he was standing tall in the pocket. Faulkner has a quick, almost sidearm-style release. He doesn’t have elite arm strength at this point, but he has enough to fit the ball into tight windows and attack the third level. Faulkner shows excellent toughness as he can hang in the pocket and take on contact while throwing. He is also the definition of an off-platform thrower, showing that he can get the ball out while jumping or cutting to evade tacklers. Faulkner is still growing physically, but his grasp for the game is noticeable and should lead him to a successful 2023 season both on the field and on the recruiting trail.
Jontavius Wyman Jontavius Wyman 6'0" | 170 lbs | ATH Jonesboro | 2026 State GA – 2026 – ATH – Jonesboro
Wyman is an intriguing 2026 prospect who could project at a few different positions across the field. However, I am mostly intrigued with his upside at QB. When you first watch his tape, you will notice how dangerous he can be with his legs. He runs with exceptional fluidity and balance, showing the ability to weave in and out of running lanes and take on contact while staying upright. He also shows tremendous patience and vision while running, following his blockers downfield. In the pocket, he is elusive and tough to bring down. He senses pressure well and keeps his eyes downfield while escaping. As a passer, he throws a clean ball and places it where only his receiver has a chance to make a play on the ball. With his athleticism and playmaking ability, there is absolutely a chance that he ends up at a skill position like WR or DB. However, I would keep track of his development at the QB position. Wyman currently has an offer from Pitt.
