<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These 2027 quarterbacks should have massive 2025 seasons...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["481378"],"_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-6787dff210524"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A dynamic quarterback in South Georgia with natural arm talent, Johnson is mobile in the pocket who can buy time, elude defenders, and take off with his legs for a big gain. However, Johnson would rather launch the ball down the field. He throws a strong, accurate ball and knows exactly where he wants to place it down the field. He brings an excellent 6-foot-4 205-pound frame and opened a lot of eyes last fall as a sophomore, throwing for 1,800 yards and 16 touchdowns while rushing for over 300 more and three more scores. His best football is way ahead of him, and offers have come in this month from Arkansas, Duke, South Florid, Auburn, among others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["941943"],"_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-6787dff2105b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more productive 2027 quarterbacks in Georgia last fall, Jarrard is a bigger passer with impressive footwork and pocket presence when scanning the field. He throws a quick, accurate ball with enough arm strength to push the ball vertically down the field. He understands the position, makes correct reads, and can make a number of different passes all over the field. He's coming off a fantastic sophomore season where he played like an experienced veteran, throwing for an impressive 2,647 yards and 31 touchdowns. He's the No. 4 QB in the state for his class and earned a big recent offer from Auburn.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["354909"],"_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-6787dff210624"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A lean, athletic quarterback in Gwinnett County who can absolutely launch the ball down the field, Cross is a promising quarterback on the rise with one of the strongest arms you'll find across the state in the 2026 class. He's quick and agile when he wants to run, but his ability to throw the football is why his stock is on the rise on the recruiting trail. He shows impressive ball placement on his vertical throws and the ability to make a tough, accurate throw on the run and outside of the pocket. He ended his sophomore season with 1,725 yards and 15 touchdowns and has the potential to improve those numbers in a big way with a big off-season. If he continues to add muscle mass and develops more and more as an overall quarterback, big offers are bound to come his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1602341"],"_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-6787dff210696"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A speedy quarterback who made a lot of plays with his legs last fall, this electric athlete has a promising arm and flashed last year at times in the passing game. He's incredibly mobile, he's quick, and has the ability to throw on the run. He's a true dual-threat quarterback on the rise in the Atlanta are who could take a big step forward as a passer if he continues to work on his mechanics and adds more weight this off-season. He's a natural athlete and could see some next-level opportunities come his way down the road if he can prove he can make strides as a quarterback this fall as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["885409"],"_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-6787e171f17d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An athletic quarterback with impressive speed, mobility, and outstanding arm talent, Hughley is one of the very best quarterbacks in the state, and possibly across the South, for the 2027 class. As a sophomore last fall, leading one of the best teams in the state, Hughley flashed big-play ability with both his arms and his legs throughout the season .He brings a promising frame and the ability to flick the ball all over the field. He threw for an impressive 2,543 yards and 22 touchdowns while throwing just two INTs. He plays the position correctly, makes good decisions with the ball, and should have an even bigger 2025 season as a junior next season. He's a 2027 gunslinger to keep a close eye on moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
