<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of '27 ranking update will soon be here. We will add around 200 prospects to our rankings. Big shout out to my fellow Virginia scout [player_tooltip player_id='1680749' first='Carl' last='Frederick'] for taking the time to put the rankings together. Today, I am previewing Quarterbacks who will be receiving high ranks and are still looking for their first offer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>***At the time of publishing, the updated 2027 rankings have not been posted.

Good athletic ability displaying very good flexibility, balance, good foot speed, hip fluidity, acceleration, lateral agility, change of direction, acceleration, and solid explosiveness. Good mental processing to command the offense, and making good decisions in the passing game. Elite functional arm strength to throw the deep ball with very good accuracy, and to zip the ball into tight windows on short and intermediate routes. Good accuracy on throws, keeping receivers in stride without having to make major adjustments to the pass. Very good pocket mobility, keeping good bend in his knees, and displaying very good poise under pressure to maneuver the pocket and make a throw. Good ability to extend the play out of the pocket, showing very good balance and strength as a runner to keep his feet and make a throw. Good throw on the run and when off-balanced, displaying his elite arm strength to get the ball where it needs to be. Can be used as a runner, showing very good run strength and balance to run through defenders. Can be utilized in designed runs between the tackles or on outside stretch plays. Overall, a good prospect who plays in a very good Seminole District in central Virginia. There is a lot to like in his game as a dual-threat Quarterback who can operate out of the pocket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19378334/jhalil-jha-holloway">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/jhaaa1_" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311676"],"_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-67aeb3e94cc8d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pocket QB with solid height and size. Solid athletic ability with good balance, solid flexibility, hip fluidity, lateral movement, foot quickness, explosiveness, and foot speed. Very good at reading defenses and making the right decision on where to throw the ball, taking advantage of what the defense gives him, and not forcing balls into bad situations. Good poise in the pocket, not phased by pressure, with solid pocket mobility to step up or roll out to extend the play. Good arm strength, able to throw out routes from the hash to the opposite sideline. Very good accuracy on all levels of the field, placing the ball away from defenders. Tends to stay flat-footed in the pocket forcing him to exert extra energy into his throws. Has the athleticism to pick up the available yards with his feet when extending plays. Not going to be a major running threat beyond the line of scrimmage. Would like to see better timing on change of direction routes to get the ball to his receivers quicker out of their cuts. Room to develop more Zip on the ball to thread it into tight windows with less air under the ball. Overall, a good prospect whose upside we are high on due to his ability to throw any pass on the field with good accuracy, his decision-making and processing that puts his team in the best position, and his ability to move in the pocket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19590337/Landen-Curles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Landencurles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1312067"],"_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-67aeb3e94ccd4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dual-threat QB currently at marginal height and solid frame. Good athletic ability with very good acceleration, short-area quickness, foot speed, good change of direction, balance, flexibility, hip fluidity, and explosiveness. Good poise and decision-making in the pocket, with very good pocket mobility and the ability to extend the play. Will use his athleticism to hold the ball looking to make a play via his arm or his legs. Good arm strength with good zip on the ball. Can make throws on all levels of the field. Good accuracy, getting the ball to the WR in his frame, with solid timing on his throws. Very good physical toughness, does not shy away from contact, and will lower his shoulder through defenders as a ball carrier. Shows very good elusiveness and burst as a runner which is a major part of his game. Overall, a good prospect who is a true dual-threat QB who plays at a high level as both a passer and runner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17740146/Gibson-Gross" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/gibson_gross" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1312072"],"_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-67aeb3e94cd13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Good height and a solid frame.
