<p>After four weeks there are a handful of quarterbacks who are posting impressive numbers in eight-man football.</p>

<p>Here is a look at six QBs who are off to a quick start in 2023.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Owen Reece</strong>, QB, 6'3”, 175, Hodgeman County ‘24</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Reece has a big arm and is posting large numbers through for games as a senior. He has thrown for 1,023 yards, 13 touchdowns, and owns a 70 percent completion percentage. He has also rushed for 13 touchdowns and 373 yards.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Cade Cronister</strong>, QB/RB, 5'9”, 160, Meade ‘24</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cronister is listed as a running back on his HUDL profile, but this season he is guiding the Meade offense at quarterback and is one of the top producers in terms of passing yardage in 8-man football. He has thrown for 761 yards and 14 touchdowns. He has also rushed for 102 yards and seven touchdowns.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='676210' first='Caden' last='Morgan']</strong>, QB/LB, 6'2”, 165, LaCrosse, ‘24</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Morgan plays 8-man, but he would look just as good as a pocket passer behind a five-man offensive line. The LaCrosse senior has thrown for 12 touchdowns and 520 yards through four games. Last season he threw for 1,703 yards so he is a little behind his junior year pace.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Spencer Coup</strong>, QB/FS, 6'2”, 170, Solomon, ‘24</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p><strong>Elijah Field</strong>, QB, 6'1”, 180, Pike Valley., ‘24</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Field has thrown for 649 yards and nine touchdowns for Pike Valley and has thrown for nine touchdowns. He has a quick release and plays composed at quarterback.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Rhett Kats</strong>, QB, 6'4”, 160, Logan/Palco, ‘25</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kats is a tall quarterback at 587 yards and 10 touchdowns. He can play multiple positions and could be recruited to play tight end, wide receiver, and defensive back. He has solid speed, good hands, and a strong arm. He is the only junior on this list. It will be interesting to see how he continues to evolve.</p>
