<p>It's that time again, the Prep Redzone Polk Edition All-County Watchlist is finally here, featuring the most talented athletes in the area! These young stars have dominated their competition and showcased their impressive skills throughout the season. This watchlist is a must-read if you're a Prep Level football fan or love supporting local talent. Keep an eye out for these future superstars and don't miss out on all future All-County Lists. Let's get into some of the QB recruits that earned their name on the list.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='827385' first='Zander' last='Smith'] | QB | Class of 2025 | Lakeland | @zander_smith15</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Record: 6-3</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Smith has had a solid year in his first time in Orange and Black with the Lakeland Dreadnaughts who have battled the injury bug this season. Smith has dealt with injuries of his own but still leads the county in passing yards despite missing a game. He still has time to get timing and mechanics down before his senior season where he'll look to lock in some real college interest. </p>

<p><strong><em>Carson Montsdeoca | QB | Class of 2024 | Fort Meade | @CarsonMontsdeo1</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Record: 8-0</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Montsdeoca has led Fort Meade to an undefeated season so far behind center. The Florida baseball commit has a laser and showed he can play the position at the next level. The Miners are undefeated heading into a big-time game on Friday. Monstdeoca has let hit playmakers eat with good downfield throws and smart decisions. </p>

<p><strong><em>Bryce Levidiotis | QB | Class of 2025 | Lake Wales | @LevidiotisBryce</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Record: 8-0</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Levidiotis has helped the Highlanders to another unbeaten start as they are now 21-0 after winning the 2022 state championship. Levidiotis has shown off the off-season work with over 1,000 passing yards with tough two regular season matchups left. </p>

<p><strong><em>2023 stats: </em></strong><em>61/124 (49%), 1042 yards, 12-2 TD-INT </em></p>

<p><strong><em>Jackson Benton | QB | Class of 2024 | Victory | @Jackson_ben10</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Record: 5-4</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Benton has risen on my radar list since taking the starting QB position at Victory this season. He's a decent game manager but can extend plays with his legs and stay accurate for downfield throws. Good frame at 6-2, 204 with upside and heart to compete at the next level. </p>

<p><strong><em>2023 stats:</em></strong><em> 79/150 (52%), 1033 yards, 13-4 TD-INT - 241 rushing yards </em></p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='829494' first='John' last='Kostuch'] | QB | Class of 2025 | Winter Haven | @JohnKostuch </em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Record: 5-3</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kostuch continues to improve his overall game and potential to play at the next level. He's had a decent junior season for the Blue Devils who have won their last three games. He's shown off his accuracy in the pocket and ability to use his legs. </p>

<p><strong><em>Joel Morris | QB | Class of 2026 | Lake Gibson | @1_Joel_Morris</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Record: 4-4</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A tough season for the Braves who are without some production pieces combined with a hard schedule. Morris has made the most of his sophomore season, soaking up the real game experience while working out the kinks in his game. Still has plenty of time to put it all together and lock in those big-time D1 offers. </p>

<p><strong><em>Aiden George | QB | Class of 2024 | Davenport | @Aidenjgeo</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Record: 4-4</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>George is the lifeline of the Davenport offense as he uses his arm and legs to beat opposing defenses. He had a solid off-season and has proven to be a DOG that can provide versatility at the next level. </p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1142239' first='Chad' last='Williams'] | QB | Class of 2026 | Auburndale | @ChadWqb12</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Record: 7-1</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Bloodhounds have shocked some with the strong season they've had despite replacing production pieces lost before the season. Williams has been a bright spot on the offense as a young leader behind center that can get it done with his arm and limit turnovers. </p>
