Today, I have six more QBs that should be on your radar. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1230172"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ba346c93ff5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The left-handed, dual-threat QB from Hopewell is a name you need to know if you have not heard of him before. A playmaker with his arm and feet, Mic'Kahari is poised for a big season this fall. He displays good accuracy on all levels of the field, with a strong arm to fit the ball into tight windows. Elite pocket mobility to extend the play, keeping his eyes downfield to find the open receiver. When his receivers are covered, he will beat you with his feet, and if the defense comes up to prevent him from running, he will beat you with his arm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16246232/MicKahari-Tatum" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/MickahariTatum" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1149062"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b3ffd1f021d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heading into his junior season, Tyrell is a QB to know this fall. He operates quick in the pocket with good timing on his throws. Displays good accuracy, getting the ball on target and away from the defender. Shows the poise to remain calm under pressure, utilizes his athleticism to evade the rush, and can roll out and throw on the run. Look for him to improve his stock this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17826919/tyrell-grant-jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/tyrellgrantjr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402776"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b3ffd1f028e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arguably the best passer in the class of 2026 in Virginia, Landen will be leading the Manchester offense once again this fall. Our ranking scout Vic Castillo referred to Landen as 'the most “college-ready” passer among 2026 classmates.' You can read Vic's full breakdown <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/06/2025-ny-rankings-quarterbacks-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. He shows the ability to process the game and make the right decisions on his throws. He displays very good accuracy and can lead his receivers in their routes setting them up for YAC. Has the arm strength to throw 35+ yards with accuracy. He can use his legs to extend the play and throw on the run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17619615/Landen-Abernethy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/LandenAbernethy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1369216"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b3ffd1f035d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson is a new name we could be hearing this fall. No game film available for him yet, but he looks good in his summer training videos that are available, throwing with good timing, anticipation, and accuracy. If he wins the starting job, he will be one to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19621351/Jackson-Gravlee" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/jacksongravlee?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1185621"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b3ffd1f03b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of our top-ranked players for the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/virginia/rankings/2027-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">class of '27</a>, Ralphie is a player who will be a name to watch over the next few seasons. He operates very well in the quick passing game, showing good timing and accuracy on his throws. Also shows an accurate deep ball with good arm strength. He will only continue to improve his game and will become one of the best QBs in the state by his senior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19660397/ralphie-puccinelli" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Rpooch12" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231603"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b3ffd1f0403"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnathan has good height with a good frame at the QB position. His arm strength sticks out early in his film. He has an effortless throwing motion and the ball jumps out of his hand, with the strength to throw the ball 45+ yards. On top of that, he shows accuracy on his throws with good ball placement and touch. He is a dual-threat and can be utilized in designed QB runs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16141531/johnathan-kasahun" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/johnathankasa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1176255"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b545c0cc29c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An up and coming class of '27 dual-threat QB, Elijah is one you will want to keep your eyes on. There is no <em>Hudl</em> film available yet on Elijah, but there are many clips available on his <em>X Account</em> timeline showing his summer throwing workouts. He has a smooth delivery, and the ball jumps out of his hand. He will be the starting QB for the JV team this fall and will take the varsity reigns in his junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19513880/elijah-henderson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/elijah_h15" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/elijah_h15/status/1814700575529050621","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/elijah_h15/status/1814700575529050621 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Click&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/prospect-index/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;to claim your Prep Redzone Prospect Index profile.<br>Follow me on Twitter&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/GoLions1934" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@GoLions1934</a>&nbsp;for further content |&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneVA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PrepRedzoneVA</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/PrepRedzone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PrepRedzone</a>&nbsp;| Virginia Scout&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/carljfred" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@carljfred</a></em>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<em>View my previous Prep Redzone articles&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/author/cole-laing-author/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
