Keeping An Eye On 2026 Quarterbacks

If you follow recruiting in the state of Florida, you already know that things change from month to month.

Prospects rise and fall. They transfer to a program that may bring out the best in them.

While we could watch so many prospects throughout the year – at camps, combines, 7-on-7 events and games, we can discover football talent that many have never watched.

There is no getting around that while the senior class (2025) is very talented – the quarterback position in 2026 (juniors) may be as impressive as we have had in a long time.
