Though Tech now has a stacked QB room to work with, I like this kid's potential to continue developing and to make noise this fall season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Carter Quinn | QB | 2026 | Lely | @Carter1Qb</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>College offers:&nbsp;<strong>West Virginia, Marshall, WKU</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final ranking in our first preseason Top 10 2026 Platform List goes to the lefty Carter Quinn.

He does everything right when it comes to the weight room and film study sessions. A lot of potential as he has a few offers with time to lock in legit interest. Has to keep this spot but have him listed in the top 10.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
