DR7 Davenport: Notable Weekend QB Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The DR7 Road to the Crown was on the move this weekend with another successful turnout in Davenport, FL as over 100+ teams participated on Day One. The seven-on-seven circuit allows athletes to showcase their skillsets and upside while scouts analyze tendencies and potential. There's hardly any chance to get eyes on every kid in such a wide-pooled group of talent but this list will include some of the notable weekend standouts that shined throughout the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1206614' first='Noah' last='Grubbs'] | QB | 2026 | Lake Mary | @NoahGrubbsQB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What a way to stamp yourself as the Real Deal. Grubbs played with rising Gridiron Elite this weekend in Davenport and left with some nice hardware. As noted, this kid is one of the top 2026 QBs in the country. The 6-4, 210-pound riser is a versatile Pro-Style QB who showed off his accuracy and footwork in both games I watched. His natural arm strength and developed QB mechanics will separate Grubbs from the pack.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Michael Clayton | 2026 | Seminole | @MikeClaytonQB1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each time I watch Clayton he rises on my stock radar because of his natural ability at the quarterback position. It's the little things that we notice when evaluating QBs in a 7v7 setting. Footwork mechanics, body control, working the route tree. All these traits were displayed by Clayton this weekend who stands at 6-4, 195-pounds. The offers are going to roll in for this kid once he steps on college campuses.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1144254' first='William' last='Jackson'] | QB | 2027 | Lake Minneola | @WillJacksonQB3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We may have one of the top 2027 QBs in the country with this kid Jackson showing off his true potential and upside to blow up on the recruiting scene. Already standing at 6-4, 180-pounds, Jackson is the Real Deal folks. He's every bit of 6-4 with good footwork and decision-making at a young age. Williams is already built with a college-ready frame with plenty of time to work on his overall upside and other intangibles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Salomon Georges Jr | QB | Class of 2025 | Leesburg | @SalomonJR17</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Georges finished the weekend as one of the top standouts after displaying his ability to move an offense down the field with his deadly footwork ability or accurate deep ball shots. This kid was an accurate downfield thrower and zipped the ball around to his skill guys. Will continue paying attention to his performance this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1754043' first='Cayden' last='Thomas'] | QB | Class of 2026 | Mitchell | @CaydenThomas_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top sleeper 2026 QBs in the area had a productive season and stamped himself as a reliable leader who can help produce for a program. I've watched him compete in two tournaments now against various defenses and this kid never looks fazed. Cool, and calm, but gets vocal when needed. He's continued to be a good decision-maker while displaying good accuracy and arm strength.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>EJ Archield Jr | QB | Class of 2025 | Robinson | @EJArchield&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Archield continues to develop and impress. It's been nice to see him spin it and show off why the buzz around his recruitment is legit. He dominates the 7v7 and camp-like sessions because of his impressive frame combined with good footwork mechanics, arm strength, and ball placement. Archield picked up a big-time offer from Ole Miss in the spring and will look to continue creating buzz around his recruitment heading into the off-season. Still, plenty of time to develop and add to his quarterback bag.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chance Houston | QB | 2027 | Land o Lakes | @cc11houston</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another tournament, more accurate throws, and undefeated days for this kid who has shown he is one of the top 2027 QBs. Really impressed with Houston's timing and decision-making in this 7v7 setting where he goes through his reads well and doesn't get flustered. Know the name because he'll continue to rise.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='584822' first='Carter' last='Emanuel'] | QB | 2026 | Edgewater | @CarterEmanuel1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid continues to develop at the QB position and college coaches are catching on. He's made the move over to Edgewater this season and is set for a productive off-season period. Emanuel had a decent Day One but it's the overall upside that landed his name on the list. Once he tweaks a couple of things, he will be even more of a problem for opposing defenses.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Best of Rest:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='829339' first='Grant' last='Conner'] | QB | 2025 | Winter Park | @grant_conner3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='227859' first='Chase' last='Cromartie'] | QB | 2025 | Viera | @CromartieChase</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Blaine Walker | QB | 2025 | South Sumter | @Qb1_11</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Breylon Sanchez | QB | 2026 | Lyman | @BreylonSanchez</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dylan Nahra | QB | 2025 | Countryside | @DylanNahra</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaydis Wiley | QB | 2026 | Specially Fit Academy | @Jaydis_18</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaylen White | ATH | 2026 | Clearwater | @Jaylen_white12</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1314015' first='Chris' last='Denson'] | QB | 2025 | Plant City | @chrisdenson03</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
