<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I went ahead and evaluated a few Virginia 2026 quarterback prospects whose stock is rising at a rapid pace:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853820"],"_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-67213fe2876a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='853820' first='Calum' last='O'Shea'] is quietly having a stellar junior campaign, which often goes unnoticed as Battlefield has blown out most of their opponents. With the exception of their matchup with Gainesville, the Bobcats have dominated their opponents to the point that O'Shea and their host of other stars are pulled at halftime. Hence why his numbers may not be eye-popping to most, but he has stayed the course and been excellent. A true dual threat, O'Shea has done a lot of his damage with his legs accounting for 15 rushing touchdowns. The Bobcats know what they have in O'Shea and will have faith in him when they face their toughest test in two weeks against Patriot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297948"],"_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-67213fe2876fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more accurate quarterbacks in this class Bishop Ireton [player_tooltip player_id='1297948' first='Jack' last='Lungren'] is impressive. Ranked 17th at his position we may not have done him justice the young man looks like a 10 year veteran under center. The past few games in particular he has really come a long as you can see from a few clips below. He is 6'3 and 185 lbs., his talent and size should track a lot of attention this off-season from college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jack_lungren/status/1850714028420853984","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/jack_lungren/status/1850714028420853984 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298255"],"_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-67213fe2877fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chantilly is fighting for their playoff lives this week and will need [player_tooltip player_id='1298255' first='Sahir' last='Mantri'] on his A game. The Chanticleers are reeling a bit after a heartbreaking overtime loss to Centreville and could use a big game out of Mantri this week. The All-District quarterback is having a good season one that should see him move up on our new ranking boards. A tough matchup with Westfield awaits and Mantri will need to be lights out to keep the Chanticleers playoff hopes alive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/sahirmantri4/status/1840467917810630922","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/sahirmantri4/status/1840467917810630922 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298294"],"_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-67213fe287838"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">You should know I am a big fan of [player_tooltip player_id='1298294' first='Cole' last='Samburg']'s work and watching him two weeks ago tear up Yorktown's defense was further proof he is a legit. A true dual threat Samburg has guided the Langley Saxons to what should be a high playoff seed. He has legit speed and if your defense makes the wrong read he can hurt with you both his arm and legs. He has a tall task at hand this weekend when Langley welcomes undefeated Washington and Liberty, can he keep his momentum going?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212464"],"_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-672151224b15b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It seems like as the playoff season approaches Warwick's [player_tooltip player_id='692006' first='Saeed' last='Williams'] Jr. heats up. Just look at what he did last week in their win over Hampton. If you haven't heard/read or watched what he did, let me paraphrase, Williams had 7 total touchdowns! Four through the air and three on the ground Williams is showing that he is not to be ignored at the quarterback position by major Division 1 institutions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jr8will/status/1847489776561082423","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/jr8will/status/1847489776561082423 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297904"],"_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-67222bc523bf0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1297904' first='Austin' last='Mawyer'] has come in to a perhaps difficult situation and thrived. Replacing a multi-year starter Mawyer is rising up the charts with his work for the Warriors. Leading his squad to victories over Benedictine, Flint Hill and Trinity Episcopal, this young man has been very impressive. Breaking the school's passing yardage record two weeks ago with 411 yards, Mawyer seems to be just getting started. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>More quarterbacks to watch in this class:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1297748' first='Tyrone' last='Jackson'] Lake Braddock</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='853095' first='Troy' last='Hamlin'] Gar-Field</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1149062' first='Tyrell' last='Grant Jr'].
