2026 Rankings Update: Standout QB's That Will Make Their Debut!

With ranking set to release soon, these are the QB's that will be making their debut. These are the players that were able to turn some heads and will be looking to make some noise heading into the offseason to pop onto some radars.    Gaccetta is a QB that is able to stand in the pocket and deliver a strike even with pressure in his face. He is able to make things happen outside of the pocket with his legs and he has a knack for being able to break tackles. When you watch film he is able to run through arm tackles and pick up yards after contact, bouncing to the outside and turning on the jets. He has shown the ability to make throws in tight windows and the ability to role out to his left and deliver a strike. He is a two sport all state player, receiving that honor in baseball and is an academic all state player as well. He will be a name to know in 4A this upcoming season.     Buckmiller is a pocket QB that has the ability to read the defense and make a quick throw to the open receiver. His team only won three games this year but he was able to be smart with the football even when his team was down, only having 8 interceptions to pair with 22 touchdowns. He does have nice touch being able to let his receivers run under deep passes and get yards after catch. He put up some solid numbers this season and will be looking to carry that momentum with him into the offseason and pop onto the radar heading into his senior year.     Both Douglas County QB's had some issues with turnovers this season but Parsons was able to be electric when he was in the game. He has a nice arm and excels at intermediate passes, being able to fit the ball into tight windows and put nice touch on his passes. He does have the ability to escape the pocket and keep the chains moving at times as well. Parsons does show good anticipation, hitting his receivers right out of their breaks and with his arm strength he can push the ball down the field vertically. I look for him to have a bounce back year and should be a must know player as he won't be under the radar for long.     Edstrom is a two sport athlete that is able to show good vision on the court and he brings that with him to the football field. He shows good accuracy being able to complete 57% of his passes and showed his dual threat ability rushing for more than 200 yards on the year. Edstrom was able to more than double to touchdown passes from last season while still keeping his interceptions down. He is able to get the ball out of his hands quickly and let his playmakers make things happen after the catch, being a QB that excels at the short to intermediate passes. He will be a player looking to build on this year and turn some heads in the offseason. I will look for him to duplicate this success moving forward.     MacDonald is a QB that has a strong arm and excels at intermediate to deep passes, being able to drop it in on the money. I like his ability to look defenders off and make quick reads. He does take chances at times throwing across his body and into traffic, which gets him into trouble at times but he is a true playmaker. He is a guy that can swing the momentum for his team with a big play and has a knack for creating opportunities with his mobility being able to move the pocket. He is an academic all state player that will be on a lot of radars with his size and skill set that is a must know moving forward.
