There's one who has stood out as he's dominated in his sophomore season against the best competition. A legit 6-5 quarterback prospect, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1247449' first='Brady' last='Hart']</strong> has helped lead Cocoa High School to a 9-1 regular season finish with the No. 1 seed in the playoffs on the Road To State.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212264' first='Dereon' last='Coleman'] | QB | 2026 | Jones | @DereonColemanQB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Telling everyone right now, this kid is the Real Deal. He has a rocket for an arm and smart decision-making skills that separate him from other QBs. He will have the chance to continue rising during camp season when touching down on college campuses where he can dominate against his peers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1206219' first='Will' last='Griffin'] | QB | 2026 | Jesuit | @w_griffin11</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the premier national recruits seems to pull in more offers as the days go by. This kid impresses college coaches with his frame at 6-3, 225-pounds but when watching him throw and show off his upside potential, there's no doubt he's the Real Deal.&nbsp;</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 has competed a few times on the 7v7 circuit with notable performances. 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 various 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>Clayton is starting to pick up much-deserved buzz from college coaches as he's earned verbal offers from big-time Power 4 schools such as Miami and Ole Miss. The 6-4 signal-caller is set for a huge offseason where he can show off his legitimate arm talent and upside. Look out for more offers to continue rolling in as he has really impressed this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212284' first='Joel' last='Morris'] | QB | Class of 2026 | Sumner | @1_Joel_Morris</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fresh off a dominant camp performance, Morris is one of the top 2026 QBs in the state and is looking for a big-time leap in his game this off-season. 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. He's made the recent move over to Sumner for his junior season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='927714' first='Carter' last='Emanuel'] | QB | 2026 | Edgewater | @CarterEmanuel1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Recent offers: </strong>Arkansas, Liberty&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid continues to develop at the QB position and college coaches are catching on.

The three-year varsity starter has displayed good footwork mechanics and a grasp of the offense in his time under center. The dual-threat riser has been an important component of the offense as he's able to stretch the defense with a good arm and decent rushing attack with his legs.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='927711' first='Dillon' last='Rose-Bailey'] | QB | Class of 2026 | Bloomingdale | @DillonOne_8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I have had the opportunity to watch <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='927711' first='Dillon' last='Rose-Bailey']</strong> blossom into a must-know 2026 QB prospect in the state of Florida. He's known to have a good frame for the position but it's the QB mechanics combined with decent arm strength and good ball placement that makes him intriguing. Add in the ability to get mobile when needed, all he needs is more in-game reps and film for his recruitment to really take off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212286' first='Sabby' last='Meassick'] | QB | Class of 2026 | Toho | @SabbyMeassick</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fresh off an impressive statistical season through the air, Meassick has earned the attention of Power 4 coaches as he's received recent offers from Pittsburgh and PENN.
