<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the 7v7 season begins to take off and college camps follow close behind, our scout Drew Johnson will be on the move to track down Real Deal Stock Risers and Players to Watch.</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>There's no doubt Grubbs is one of the premier 2026 national QB recruits. He's dominated in both DR7 Florida circuit tournaments where he's helped Gridiron Elite 7v7 take home the 18U championship while showing off pinpoint accuracy combined with powerful arm strength. Look for his name to continue rising with college camps on the horizon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Josh Perry | RB | 2025 | Edgewater | @joshua3perry</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“MVP” Perry was one of the top players this weekend while making plays on both sides of the ball. He was an impact player and made pivotal plays in the championship game where he looked shifty in the slot with strong hands he used to grab the game winning catch. He's made a recent move heading into spring and will be a name to watch.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='827414' first='Jayce' last='Nixon'] | QB | 2025 | Venice | @Jayce_Nixon_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nixon is a talented rising gunslinger that I've had the opportunity to watch develop over the last couple of years. Watched him dominate and impress various Power 5 coaches at camps last summer and he's only continued to develop his arm and overall QB mechanics. The lefty still has some time to tone up his frame to combine it with the natural arm talent but no doubt he's a Real Deal riser.&nbsp;</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>Not sure if there's another QB we've covered that has risen on the radar in FL than 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='829339' first='Grant' last='Conner'] this 7v7 season. He'll have time to put it all together this spring and show he has what it takes to lead a team. Connor has done nothing but show high IQ for the position that he uses to make smart and accurate throws. Solid mechanics as well so watch out for his development this offseason.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1754043' first='Cayden' last='Thomas'] | QB | 2026 | Mitchell | @CaydenThomas_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top 2026 QBs in the area had a productive season and stamped himself as a reliable leader who can help produce success for the Mitchell program. I've watched him compete at various 7v7 tournaments where he showed off his arm strength and solid accuracy/ball placement capabilities. He's yet another talented QB that will continue to rise heading into the spring.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Notable Top Rising Recruits</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='748997' first='Ryan' last='Matulevich'] | WR | 2025 | Venice | @MatulevichB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Devin Voltaire | WR | 2025 | Seminole | @devinvoltaire</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>JJ Harding | TE | 2025 | The Villages | @JJHarding18</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1317582' first='Makih' last='Johnson'] | WR | 2025 | @Makihjohnson2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gerald “Juice” Lawton III | WR | 2025 | Vanguard | @juicelawtonIII</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1200619' first='Smith' last='Lessard'] | QB | 2027 | Winter Park | @smithlessard15</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1229952' first='Zion' last='Wolf'] | WR | 2025 | Winter Park | @zionwo1f</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Patrick Harding | QB | 2026 | The Villages | @patrickbeballin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Atticus Van Dyke | WR | 2025 | Winter Park | @atticus_vandyke</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

As the 7v7 season begins to take off and college camps follow close behind, our scout Drew Johnson will be on the move to track down Real Deal Stock Risers and Players to Watch.
