<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='927711' first='Dillon' last='Rose-Bailey'] | QB | 2026 | Wiregrass Ranch | @DillonOne_8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I have had the opportunity to watch <strong>Rose-Bailey</strong> blossom into a must-know 2026 QB prospect in the state of Florida. He's known for a good frame at 6-2, 185 pounds but it's the QB mechanics combined with decent arm strength and good ball placement that makes him intriguing. Add in the ability to get mobile when needed, all he needs is more in-game reps and film for his recruitment to really take off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1251741' first='Brogan' last='McNab'] | QB | Class of 2026 | Holy Trinity Episcopal | @BroganMcNab2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McNab adds to one of the more stacked 2026 quarterback classes that I've had a chance to cover. He's picked up a couple recent offers from UAB, and Eastern Michigan. The rising junior has displayed good footwork mechanics and a grasp of the offense in his time under center. The dual-threat playmaker has been an important component of the offense as he's able to stretch the defense with a good arm and decent rushing attack with his legs.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212286' first='Sabby' last='Meassick'] | QB | Class of 2026 | Toho | @SabbyMeassick</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fresh off an impressive statistical season through the air, Meassick has earned the attention of Power 4 coaches as he's received recent offers from Pittsburgh and PENN. Keep an eye on his overall recruitment and development folks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212269' first='Jaden' last='Weatherly'] | QB | 2026 | Bartram Trail | @jadenweatherly_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's truly rewarding when watching a kid progress into a beast! We got a chance to watch Weatherly perform when he was just in 14U 7v7 and he's now developed into a problem under center. One of the stronger QB frames around, this kid has a weight-lifting physique that he uses to zip the ball around and be a threat with his legs. He's putting it all together heading into the spring period.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1754043' first='Cayden' last='Thomas'] | QB | Class of 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. Have watched him compete throughout the 7v7 season where he showed off his arm strength and leadership capabilities. He's yet another talented QB that will be at the event. Ready to see his hard work translate over to fall ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaylen White | QB | 2026 | Clearwater | @jaylen_white12</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not sure if there was anyone more talented than this kid at majority of the college camps attended on the QB House Midwest Retreat. He has the chance to play big-time ball because of his cool confidence and elite playing talent at the QB position. He can slang the pill around and use his legs when needed to be dynamic. I knew this kid was an athlete but his arm talent and advanced mechanics has locked him in as one of the better QBs not just in the area but period.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Trace Johnson | QB | 2026 | Buchholz | @Tracejohnson12_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson had a productive sophomore season where he helped lead the Buchholz Bobcats to a 13-1 season with just one loss coming by one point in the state semifinals. For Johnson, he dominated defensive secondaries as he nearly accumulated 3,000 passing yards and 35 TDs. At 6-1, 175-pounds, he has a bright junior season ahead with spring coming up. Johnson has picked up two recent offers from Central Michigan and Georgia Southern.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1263588' first='Darryon' last='Jones'] | QB | 2026 | Hillsborough | @DarryonJonesQB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones adds to a growing number of rising QB prospects in the area. He took home the PRZ Combine MVP for the QB group a couple months back after showing off a solid 6-3, 215-pound frame with good arm strength and ball placement. He's made a recent move over to Tampa Bay Tech who has a couple of talented QBs on roster so interested to see how things play out for Jones who looks ready to light it up.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Joseph Weathers | QB | 2026 | Westwood | @Josephw222</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Have watched Weathers throw dots since the off-season 7v7 period and he only brought that confidence into the regular season. Impressed with Weathers's ability to go through his reads and not lock on one receiver. Decent arm strength but his ball placement is next level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='667383' first='Tyson' last='Davison'] | QB | 2026 | Apopka | @TysonDavison_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A well-known QB trainee of Baylin Trujillo, it's about time for this kid to get some exposure. He's an electric dual-threat QB prospect who's been overlooked because of his size but check the film, this kid can move the needle. He's still improving his overall throwing and footwork mechanics but has&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Will Wankleman | QB | 2026 | Olympia | @willwankleman</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New home for Wankleman this fall season but he's continued to put in the work to prepare for the switch over to Olympia after a productive sophomore season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
