<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is look at the remaining class 6 quarterbacks left still playing in the quarterfinals games to advance to the semifinals this weekend</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='285140' first='Dillon' last='Duff'] De Smet 2025 - 6'2" 195</strong><br>- The Kansas State commit has had an outstanding season despite battling through some injuries. A dangerous dual threat who has the speed to run past and away from you and the power to run over you. Tough competitor who is a winner. His arm is even better than his legs as he can make all the throws and has nice touch and accuracy on his passes to go along with it. Good mechanics and decision making. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='669411' first='Brady' last='Davidson'] Rock Bridge 2025 - 6'5" 210 </strong><br>- Just an absolute monster season for the Northern Illinois commit. Brady stands tall in the pocket and reads the defenses well finding his open target and then really rips it with great accuracy and ball placement to make it tough for defensive backs to make a play on. Very strong arm and quick release with the ball flying off his hand. He is also athletic enough where he can make you pay with running the ball as well, but doesn't have to much due to his skill set. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1647103' first='Zane' last='Thomas'] Park Hill 2026 - 6'2" 170</strong><br>- One of the most productive quarterbacks in the Kansas City area and state this season. Has thrown for over 3,200 yards and 38 touchdowns on the season and continues to put up big numbers throwing the ball. Can air it out but also has a nice mid-range and short passing game taking advantage of what opposing defenses give him. Really understands the game and does a good job utilizing a talented receiving corps. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Connor Hatfield Liberty 2026 - 6'2" 170 </strong><br>- Very effective signal caller who has done a great job running his Jays offense and showing great leadership. A good athlete who can run the ball and really air it out when necessary in a run heavy offense. He's really come on as the season has progressed and been a big reason his team has continued to improve this deep into the playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1124886' first='Owen' last='Nesslage'] Kirkwood 2025 - 6'6" 210</strong><br>- Tall signal-caller who is as good as anyone when he is on and the Pioneers success last in the season shows it. Has put up some huge numbers in games and on the season having thrown for over 3,000 yards and 31 touchdowns heading into the state quarterfinal game. Uses his height to his advantage to see the field and find his receivers. Has done a good job making his throws all over the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Drew Parson Jackson 2026 - 6'0" 175</strong><br>- Was thrust into the starting role in the playoffs last year as a sophomore due to injury and performed really well.

Understands the offense and makes good decisions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1587352' first='Adam' last='McKnight'] Nixa 2027 - 6'3" 190</strong><br>- One of the top young quarterback prospects in the state who has really had a breakout season in his first as a varsity starter. Has a big arm with some nice touch and placement on his deep throws. Really has shown a good football IQ and leadership in leading his Eagles to an undefeated season so far. Can also run it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mickhi Mitchell Lee's Summit North - 6'0" 190 </strong><br>- Dual threat QB who can beat you using his arm and his legs.
