Class of 2027 – Top 5 QB Rundown

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The light Class of 2027 Rankings update has released, and with that, we have some movement in our QB class. A couple of risers, a couple of fallers, and a couple of new additions. This time around, I'll focus on our brand-new top 5 Quarterbacks in the Class of 2027! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1149421"],"_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-672c12e6ad1db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One more offseason, and it'll be time for Kendall to show the world what he's made of. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Few casual fans know Kendall's name, but if he lives up to his pretty high expectations, he'll be a household name in no time. He's ranked in our top 5 and is the #1 QB in the class, mostly because of his upside and offseason work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's what I know: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Consistent mechanics</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Rocket arm (great throw power to all areas)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Far above-average IQ </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>On a program with a track record of future D1 success<br><br>? - Pocket presence<br>? - In-Season Success<br>? - Throw under pressure</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["489263"],"_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-672c12e6ad24d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'll be honest- Jabin has yet to leave a huge mark at the Varsity level. Yes, he plays a role with OLSM, but he's not QB1 just yet. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Still, Jabin has flashed his athleticism. That athleticism really shows that Jabin has the potential to be an elite dual-threat. In addition, he has flashed his great arm during the offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Once Jabin takes charge as QB1, we'll have a lot more information. All signs point toward Jabin being a Power 5 prospect as long as he keeps up his great work ethic throughout the offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1028165"],"_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-672c12e6ad290"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Landon is a super, super interesting QB prospect. He's a pure pro-style guy with very consistent fundamentals. On top of that, Landon constantly demonstrates great anticipation and connection with his receivers. His film is great, he's always working hard in the offseason, but I honestly need to watch a few full games on tape to get a full evaluation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just going off of his tape, Landon looks like a fringe D1 prospect. I rarely see QBs with the high-level highlights of Landon. Few QB have consistent mechanics, and fewer QBs show any ounce of anticipation in their throws. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm looking forward to further evaluating Landon in the near future! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["572246"],"_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-672c12e6ad2ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've spoken about Grayson a few times over the past week. I was impressed with what I saw from him in the playoff game against Coopersville, even if it was far from his best game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grayson has far above-average pocket presence, off-platform accuracy, IQ, and overall processing. He also has good accuracy and mechanics, but improvements in these areas would take Grayson's game to a new level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All in all, he's solidly placed at #4 in our QB rankings. I fully expect Grayson to be a GLIAC prospect at the very least once his HSFB career is over. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298640"],"_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-672c12e6ad30b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">David has found massive success as QB1 for Walled Lake Western. As I'm writing this, Walled Lake Western is about to face off against Avondale in the District Championship. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>David's tape shows why he's been so successful with WLW. We know that WLW is a very successful program, and David seems to be making his team even better. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His tape shows off his decent arm, good throw power, and overall great running of the offense. Having seen David once last offseason, I know he's able to make just about any throw with a clean pocket. Only up from here, and I'd currently project David as a GLIAC prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
