After breaking down some high-level wide receivers, it’s time to move onto the strongest quarterback performers. Without any further ado, here’s my list of the top 2027 quarterbacks in the state of Kentucky to watch for.
At the top of my group of notable standouts is Zane Johnson, a 6-foot-0 quarterback that was highly explosive at the helm of the offense during the Kentucky Future Stars Game last month. In addition to outstanding size, speed and versatility, what stands out about Johnson is his ability to create offensive production on the ground and in the air. Johnson additionally caught my eye with his arm strength and pin-point accurate passing, making an immediate impact on the boards.
Highlights
Following behind in close second place is Gunner Holbrook Gunner Holbrook 6'0" | 190 lbs | QB Letcher County Central | 2027 KY , a 6-foot-0 quarterback that made the most of his reps during the Kentucky Future Stars Game last month. In addition to excellent size, speed and explosiveness, what stands out about Holbrook is his overall arm strength, showcasing his ability to complete quick passes off the snap and reach his receivers in the backfield. Another aspect of Holbrook’s game that impresses is his composure under pressure and ability to maneuver defenders to remain on his feet.
Highlights
Coming in at number three on my list of talented prospects is Kaden Mack, a 5-foot-11 quarterback that showcased major explosiveness under center during the Kentucky Future Stars Game last month. Mack caught my attention with his impressive size, speed and athleticism, utilizing solid footwork and composure under pressure to exhaust defenders off the snap. Mack additionally showcased outstanding arm strength and accuracy as he completed several quick passes and a few bullets into the backfield.
