Breakout Candidates: Quarterbacks

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So many players next season are going to have much bigger roles with players graduating and players improving their skills over the off season. Here are a handful of quarterbacks who are breakout season candidates for next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1165423' first='Brady' last='Jay']</em></strong> - 2026 - Moses Lake - Brady already had a breakout season last year as a sophomore, so I might be cheating a bit here. I included Brady given I believe he will grow off his impressive 3,250 yards passing and outstanding 48 touchdowns. He is an accurate passer, hitting his receivers when in full stride and placing the ball right in their hands. Jay is a top QB prospect in the 2026 class and is going to show everyone why he's a top QB prospect in the state next season, as a junior.

Last season he showed tremendous athleticism with the ability to roll out of the pocket to either side and accurately deliver strikes to his wide-outs. With his accuracy improving, he will have a big breakout season for Rogers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='356516' first='Jaylen' last='Viars']</em></strong> - 2025- Bothell HS - Jaylen is one of my favorite quarterbacks to watch last season. He is electric on the football field, making big time throws and utilizing his athleticism to his advantage. He has fantastic size for his position, standing at 6'4" and potentially still growing. He accurately delivers darts to all three levels and is going to take the state by storm next season, in my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='348173' first='Ryker' last='Tweedy']</em></strong> - 2025 - Mt Spokane HS - Ryker was the backup last season due to TJ Haberman being the starter for Mt Spokane. Tweedy is talented enough to be a starter at almost every other school within the conference and will prove that next season when he gets under center for the team. His 6'3" frame makes him tough to bring down and his footwork inside the pocket stands out in my eyes. Just wait for the season, Tweedy will surprise you.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1188085' first='Sione' last='Kaho']</em></strong> - 2027 - Lincoln HS - Sione was just a freshman last year but was given the reigns to be the starter for this Lincoln team and man did he surpass expectations. He is already 6'4" (roughly) and I wouldn't be surprised if he kept growing. His natural arm strength helps him deliver deep balls with ease and his pinpoint accuracy drops the ball into his receivers hands often. Kaho is the real deal, the next 3 seasons will be a joy to whitness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
