<p>We're not even to the halfway point of September, but some current 8th grade Quarterbacks (Class of 2029) in Georgia, have already opened my eyes. There will be dozens of other QBs added, as more film becomes available and more scouting is done. With that said, I've been tracking talent as I come across it and I feel very confident adding these first 21 signal callers in the class of 2029 (8th grade in the 2024-2025 school year) to the Watchlist.</p>

<p><strong>This is NOT a ranking. This is NOT a final list.</strong> I will be adding new names to this list regularly until next August (2025).</p>

<li>He's a bigger, thicker Quarterback who passes the eye test right away in comparison to the field. Booker is the straw that stirs the drink for a well-balanced Panthers offense, throwing for four TD passes in three games. With his go-to target [player_tooltip player_id='1431588' first='Makai' last='King'] making plays on the outside and RB [player_tooltip player_id='1431589' first='Ramello' last='Jackson'] running wild, this team looks very good thus far.</li>

<li>As of September 2024, Fowler lists himself at 5-foot-10 and 130-pounds. Certainly on the longer and leaner side right now, but has a frame that will out</li>

<li>Fowler is at the helm for the Colquitt County 8th graders this 2024-2025 season/cycle and has the Packers sitting at 1-1 as of this write up. Following a memorable but tough triple OT loss in their opening game of the season, they righted the ship with a 30-6 win over Thomas County Middle School in week 2.</li>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Watching the film I see a lot of similarities between Fowler and current Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson on the football field. Both are QBs with length that can run if needed, but look to make the pass first. In two games in this early season, Fowler has 4 TD passes.</li>

<li>As of September 2024, depending on where you look, Bohlken is listed from 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10 range and in the neighborhood of 150-pounds. </li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Bohlken has Mount Vernon at 4-0 on the season, and the nimble righty Quarterback has put his talents on display early and often for the Mustangs</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>My biggest takeaway from watching the multi-sport athlete (baseball and track) play Quarterback, is that he can really put some heat on his passes. Without official measurements it's hard to tell, but I think he's closer to the 5-foot-8 mark; That said he puts more zip on the ball than the majority of QBs on this initial list. He's mobility is excellent and he owns the short-to-intermediate passing levels.</li>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>As of September 2024, Dungan is listed at 5-foot-9 and 155-pounds. Has evenly-distributed weight and a muscular frame</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>As of this write up, Dungan and North Paulding are sitting at 1-2 on the season as they enter a bye week (Sept. 14th). Coming off an ugly loss to powerhouse McEachern (50-8), they have five regular season games remaining</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>In my opinion, at this point Dungan is a better <em>football player </em>than he is a <em>Quarterback</em> per say. He's got some Tim Tebow to his game in regards to his build/strength and ability to dip a shoulder while running. Furthermore, he's a fast and aggressive Outside Linebacker on defense--where he may ultimately end up playing more.</li>

<li>As of September 2024, there is no verified height and weight listed for Perry Jr.. However, estimating strictly off video and pictures he looks to be in the 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-11 range and in the neighborhood of 150-pounds</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>As of this write up Perry Jr. and Dacula are coming off one of the biggest and most significant wins in recent history, as they came from behind to defeat Buford 8-7 with some big late-game heroics from QB1</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>He's dual-threat Quarterback who keeps defensive coordinators up at night due to his skillset. As a passer he looks like a natural. Very crisp, very smooth and coordinated. No real wasted movement. With his legs, he has the vision and speed of a Running Back. If I'm a defense playing Dacula, I'm resorting to designating a spy on Perry Jr. for every play.</li>

<li>As of September 2024, [player_tooltip player_id='1431716' first='Sebastian' last='Heard'] lists himself at 6-foot and 155-pounds. From what I can tell that size looks to be pretty accurate based on film and photos</li>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>3 Ls for head: Long. Lanky. Lefty. The Southpaw has a ton of potential to become a very talented GA Quarterback in this 2029 class. Throws a pretty over the top ball with a nice release. Sporting his signature Box Top hairstyle, he goes by the nickname Box Top Assassin. Simply, one of the best nicknames I've ever heard.</li>

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>His journey has taken quite a number of twists and turns--from Cartersville to Darlington to Rome, with a reclass year mixed in. That said, this season is the best QB play Parker has displayed in his pre-high school career</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Parker has an absolute cannon for a right arm and makes some throws that are just truly special. He has the Rome Wolves sitting at 2-0 with a pair of shutout victories to start the season. Season opener was a 30-0 win over McEachern where he went 12/20 for 120 yards and a TD. In week two, Rome defeated Roswell 34-0 and Parker was 8/10 for 167 yards and 2 TDs. Fresh off a bye week, Rome will hit the road to take on Allatoona.</li>

We're not even to the halfway point of September, but some current 8th grade Quarterbacks (Class of 2029) in Georgia, have already opened my eyes. There will be dozens of other QBs added, as more film becomes available and more scouting is done. With that said, I've been tracking talent as I come across it and I feel very confident adding these first 21 signal callers in the class of 2029 (8th grade in the 2024-2025 school year) to the Watchlist.
