<!-- 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='689254' first='Brady' last='Quinn'] | QB | 2028 | Naples | @QBQuinn2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the premier 2028 QBs in the state has picked up some big-time offers in the off-season. Quinn has received recent verbal offers from the likes of Ole Miss and Louisville while showing off his high potential upside in the 7v7 season. This kid has a huge arm with advanced mechanics to deliver strikes in the pocket. Look for his name to really pop with more in-game film at the varsity level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='735139' first='Champ' last='Smith'] | QB | 2027 | Jupiter Christian | @champsmithqb</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is another premier QB on this list and one of the top 2027 prospects in the state because of his solid frame at 6-1, 170-pounds with the ability to make it happen under center. He's also received a notable off-season offer from the University of Arkansas with more interest starting to pile up. Productive freshman season for Smith but look for his game to really take off as we head into spring.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chance Houston | QB | 2027 | Land o Lakes | @cc11houston</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A true 2027 QB prospect, this kid has truly put his name on the map after various 7v7 tournaments he's either won or been a notable weekend standout. Houston has pinpoint accuracy that he uses to complete tough throws combined with solid decision-making skills. Ready to see what this kid can do with the pads on because he's displayed some good traits in the off-season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cash Downey | QB | 2027 | @cash_downey08</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've already put what this kid can do on notice. He's cash money with the ball in his hands and has risen considerably on the 2027 watch list. He finished in the top 5 for freshman passing yards a season ago (1,603 yards) and is set for a huge spring period where he can show off his progression.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1114953' first='Caden' last='Osborn'] | QB | 2027 | West Florida | @Cadenosborn2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Osborn is a strong-arm 2027 riser with decent size for his age. He's another hard worker who's put the work in to generate some interest during the off-season. Osborn should have the opportunity to show off his development this spring and be a young leader for his high school.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brayden Himelright | QB | 2027 | Calvary Christian | @BraydenHim8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Himelright has taken advantage of the off-season 7v7 period competing with the rising Trinity Elite program.&nbsp;</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>A big-time sleeper QB prospect in the Central Florida area. Lessard is standing at 6-5, 215-pounds and will have the opportunity to show off his potential in the spring period.</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.
