Following my breakdown of some under the radar gunslingers, here’s my list of the top 2025 quarterbacks in Kentucky to keep an eye on this upcoming fall.
In the first place spot on my list is Deuce Bailey Deuce Bailey 6’1″ | 170 lbs | QB Bowling Green | 2025 State KY , a quarterback at Bowling Green High School. What I like about Bailey is his ability to remain composed under pressure and juke out the defense on the ground. I also like Bailey’s arm strength and pin-point accuracy, proving he can quickly get the ball out as well as connect with his receivers deep in enemy territory.
Highlights
I am additionally impressed with Jack James Jack James 6’0″ | 190 lbs | QB Paducah Tilghman | 2025 State KY , a quarterback at Paducah Tilghman High School. James stands out with his ability to adapt to pressure in the pocket, utilizing bursts of speed to break tackles and maneuver the field to find an open receiver. James also showcased his efficient deep passing last season, proving he can quickly muscle the offense into the endzone.
Claiming the number three spot on my list is Brady Atwell Brady Atwell 6’3″ | 225 lbs | QB Owensboro Catholic | 2025 State KY , a quarterback at Owensboro Catholic High School. Atwell makes a considerable difference with his ability to sling bullets deep into the backfield, proving his ability to complete the long pass under heavy defensive pressure. Atwell also showed off his ability to complete the short pass with his quick execution off the snap.
Highlights
Another skilled prospect to watch for is Bryce Button Bryce Button 6’2″ | 195 lbs | QB South Warren | 2025 State KY , a quarterback at South Warren High School. Button made his presence known last year due to his ability to consistently overwhelm the defense with his deep passing. Button also proved his speed on the ground, breaking tackles and juking out the opposition on his way to the house.
Highlights
Coming in at number five on my list is Luke Pennington Luke Pennington 6’0″ | 180 lbs | QB Sayre School | 2025 State KY , a quarterback at Sayre High School. What makes Pennington so dangerous at the helm of the offense is his careful decision-making and ability to quickly scan the field for the best passing opportunity. I also like how Pennington can connect with receivers deep in the backfield, proving his accuracy in the air and ability to put points on the scoreboard.
