Parkway West
– 6’3″ 175 Testing results: 4.96 40 – 4.5 pro agility – 8’5″ broad jump – 27″ vertical jump
A true pro-style quarterback prospect who is a good athlete. Has very good technique, footwork and is well skilled with his training he puts in. Showed a live arm with a quick release and very good accuracy. Throws a good deep ball and has nice touch. Colleges are already showing interest in him and he has taken several unofficial visits already.

Eureka | 2026

Eureka
– 6’3″ 172 Testing results: 4.79 40 – 4.4 pro agility – 9′ broad jump – 27″ vertical jump
Another signal-caller who showed a very good skill set and good overall athleticism in testing. Looked good in drills and in his reps in one one one competition. One of the better throwers with his accuracy and ball placement. Didn’t waste any throws. Has the talent to compete for playing time this coming season IMO.
Hudson Cerrano

Timberland | 2026
MO
Timberland
– 6’2″ 183 Testing results: 4.84 40 – 4.63 pro agility – 9’2″ broad jump – 31″ vertical jump
The combine had a lot of talented up and coming QBs in attendance, and Cerrano was one of them. He has a great combination of size, physical development, athleticism and skills. Hudson has a strong arm and can make all the throws. He has good feet and can throw equally well in the pocket or on the run. I don’t see how he doesn’t compete for playing time this coming season.
Cash Newberry

Springfield Glendale
– 6’0″ 160 Testing results: 5.07 40 – 4.43 pro agility – 8’9″ broad jump – 26″ vertical jump
Newberry is a returnee to the Elite combine after attending last year’s event. His continued development as a QB was noticeable. Cash is a smooth quarterback who does everything well. He has a good football IQ and understanding of the position to go along with a strong skill set and arm to match. He is one of the top QBs in his class in the state after throwing for over 2,200 yards and 18 touchdowns, and has solid athleticism to go with it.

Vianney
– 5’11” 155 Testing results: 4.79 40 – 4.03 pro agility – 9’0″ broad jump – 27″ vertical jump
Another QB who saw significant playing time as a starter and made the most of it at the combine was the very athletic Deen. He not only had impressive number with his speed and agility, but showed a smooth skill set as a quarterback. He is a cool customer who also showed impressive accuracy and did a nice job putting the ball where receivers to catch it on the day. Had over 1,200 yards in 2023. Look for a bigger season coming up.

State

Orchard Farm
– 6’1″ 182 Testing results: 5.12 40 – 4.59 pro agility – 8’7″ broad jump – 24″ vertical jump
One of the more productive quarterbacks in the St. Louis area as a freshman and sophomore. Sinclair started as a freshman and had an even better sophomore year. He is a true dual threat on the field, but showed his impressive passing skills during the combine in drills and with his one on one reps. Colin has a very strong arm and did a good job delivering the ball on the day in all the throws. He threw for over 2,000 yards and 22 touchdowns last season. I expect a big season from him in 2024.
Will Travers

Webster Groves
– 6’2″ 200 Testing results: 5.38 40 – 4.75 pro agility – 7’6″ broad jump – 23″ vertical jump
One of the better quarterbacks I saw in game action showed up at the combine and continued to validate one I saw during the season. A true pro-style quarterback, Travers has good size, vision and made some really nice throws. He has a strong and and can sling it deep, but also has nice touch and spins it well in all the throws. Will threw for over 1,500 yards his sophomore season.
Nick McClellan

CBC
– 6’0″ 184 Testing results: 4.69 40 – 4.3″ pro agility – 9’2″ broad jump – 32″ vertical jump
Nick came and competed as quarterback since he will be the starter for the Cadets and finishing up that way during the Class 6 championship game. He did a nice job throwing the ball and looked good overall with his technique, which he has been hard training at. I could have put him as a DB or WR standout as well, which is where he will play on the next level. What McClellan is on the football field and skill wise is a football player. You could put him at any position and he would be productive. He’ll be a nice dual threat to watch this coming season.
Jaylen Blue

Francis Howell Central | 2026
MO
Francis Howell Central
– 6’1″ 233 Testing results: 4.77 40 – 4.53 pro agility – 7’6″ -24″ vertical jump
One of the combine attendees who has worked hard on his skills that deserves mention with a strong showing overall, but especially with his throwing I observed. Blue has great size and displayed really good speed with his 4.77 forty at 233 pounds. He has potential to be a good dual threat weapon as he competes for the Spartans starting job. He has a strong arm and spun the ball well.
Ivan Dean
Holt
– 6’0″ 190 Testing results: 5.0 40 – 4.3 pro agility – 8’8″ broad jump – 26″ vertical jump
Dean is another quarterback you will hear about in 2024. He’s a solid athlete who had a good day spinning the ball, and showed solid skills in drills and his one on one reps. Look for a breakout season coming up from him.
