A tough year 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.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1022076' first='Blake' last='Johnson'] | QB | Class of 2025 | Victory Christian | @Blakejohnson_11</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Do not sleep on this kid who has elite arm talent capability, just needs the right offensive scheme and belief. I've watched him develop throughout the months where he's growing to his frame. Wouldn't be shocked if he finished as one of the top throwers at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1142239' first='Chad' last='Williams'] | QB | Class of 2026 | Auburndale | @ChadWqb12</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bloodhounds shocked the city with the strong season they 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.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Blaine Walker | QB | 2025 | Sumter | @Qb1_11</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid continues to put in the work working on his overall game and balling during the 7v7 period. It'll be nice to see him put it all together for a productive regular season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brody Brenneman | QB | 2026 | LCS | @brody_brenneman</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1720084' first='Preston' last='Garcia'] | QB | 2026 | LCS | @PrestonGarcia18</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These two are on a crash course to battle it out for the starting QB position at Lakeland Christian this season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rocky Pieriche | QB | Class of 2025 | Ridge | @Rockyqb1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pieriche fell under the radar over the season but could generate some attention after finishing a tough season with Ridge.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cameron Turner | QB | 2025 | GJHS | @Cam_Turner10</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Turner will likely lead the Eagles under center this season. Important off-season period for him to work on his game going into his final high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
