Five QBs Break Into the 2025 Rankings

<p>The <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/07/updated-2025-arizona-rankings-3/">PrepRedzone Arizona 2025 rankings just received an update</a>! With 136 players added to the list, we're now at a whopping 411 total players in the '25 class alone. Of those 136 players added to the rankings, we welcome five new faces at the quarterback position – arguably the most important position in all of sports. Let's take a deep dive into the QBs and find out what it is that earned them a spot. </p>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1353930' first='Conner' last='White'] came out on fire in his junior season, running the offense for ALA Gilbert-North. Through his first five games, he had thrown for 1,438 yards and 16 touchdowns to just two interceptions. He's got some really nice touch on the deep ball and makes it easy for his receivers to catch. White seems to have a good command of his offense and shows immense trust in all of his receivers and their ability to go up and get the rock. Having a star wideout like Brandon Phelps is a huge advantage for a quarterback, but with other players like Issac Massey stepping into bigger roles, I don't expect to see any drop-off from White in his senior year.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ConnerWhite_7/status/1710719750022853015 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='354987' first='Elijah' last='Sherbin-Fox'] has one of the quickest deliveries that I've ever seen. With his arm moving at lightning speed, he's still able to put good zip behind his throws despite not having to wind up to throw them. Often coming out with a nice spiral and leading his receivers well, it's more than his arm that can torture a defense for four quarters. Sherbin-Fox is also a real threat on the ground and at 6'2" and 185 lbs, he's got a nice combination of speed and strength that makes him incredibly hard to bring to the ground. Taking over the QB1 role for a Desert Edge team fresh off a 5A championship game appearance, Sherbin-Fox is a player I'm excited to follow throughout the 2024 season. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ESherbinFox/status/1782209536197304551 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1305338' first='Nicholas' last='Fitzgerald'] has tons of power in his arm and can make throws from multiple different arm angles for Mesa's offense. Doing a great job of keeping the ball out of harm's way while still pushing it down the field, he had just two interceptions in six games last season. Although he only rushed for a total of 120 yards as a junior, he has the ability to make that more of a weapon going into 2024. His quick feet and impressive vision allow him to make defenders miss with ease. Not falling in love with the deep ball, Fitzgerald does a great job of calmly picking apart defenses with the short game as well. Coming off a season with a quarterback rating of 127.7, he's a player coaches should have on their big board. </p>      <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1258670' first='Roman' last='Thuyns'] packs a lot of power in a small package as the quarterback for Willow Canyon. I was able to get eyes on Thuyns at the PrepRedzone Arizona Combine back in late April and was incredibly impressed with what I saw. He's got incredible twitch and really moves well on the field. When he uses his arm, he delivers very strong throws that have no problem fitting through tight windows. It's nice to see how much trust he has in his receivers and is always willing to give them a chance. Thuyns fits excellently into Willow Canyon's offensive scheme and is an exciting player that you don't want to miss heading into the 2024 season. </p>      <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1347368' first='Tyler' last='Burr'] has a rocket for an arm and isn't at all afraid to use it for Gilbert Christian. When throwing the ball outside the numbers, he can really take over a game with his ability to get the ball over the top of the defense and lead his receivers down the field. Burr is athletic enough to buy extra time in the pocket and does a nice job of moving fluidly behind the line of scrimmage. He averaged over 190 total yards a game as a junior and is looking to surpass that number in his final high school season. A three sport athlete, Burr also hit .421 on the diamond and averaged 2.8 points per game on the hardwood last year, showing you just how well-rounded an athlete he is. </p>
