<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1369108' first='Jackson' last='Summerall'] | 2026 | John Carroll | @Summerall_7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Summerall has the size at 6-3, 190 pounds and has shown flashes of promise. In just seven games last season, he put up 500+ passing yards and five touchdowns, but the key will be how he progresses this offseason. Now at John Carroll, he's in a fresh situation that could allow him to take the next step.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1258693' first='Ethan' last='Brous'] | 2026 | Bartow | @d1_e_9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bartow's QB1 is stepping into a new era with a fresh offensive coordinator, and Brous has been putting in the work to be ready. He's continued to refine his game, build his frame, and elevate his leadership. Now, it's about commanding the troops this spring and setting the tone for a big season ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Elijah Nickerson | 2028 | Faith Christian | @NickersonElijah</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nickerson has already made waves, ranking in the top five for passing yards among Florida's 2028 quarterbacks.

That shouldn't be the case anymore. His ability to extend plays, create on the run, and make defenders miss makes him a dynamic playmaker. If he polishes his mechanics and footwork, college coaches will take notice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1263708' first='Will' last='Wankelman'] | 2026 | Olympia | @willwankelman</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wankleman is making the transition to Olympia this fall, and all signs point to him being ready for the challenge.

He handled the pressure well, displayed impressive decision-making, and proved he belongs in the conversation as one of Florida's top young quarterbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1841861' first='Blake' last='McCullough'] | 2028 | Bishop Moore | @blake_mcc3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCullough's mechanics and deep ball are already ahead of his age group. His ability to drive the football downfield with accuracy makes him a name to know among Florida's rising 2028 quarterbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ty Keister | 2027 | University Christian | @keister_ty10</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keister is a smart, efficient quarterback who processes coverages quickly and gets the ball out on time. He's also got the mobility to make plays outside the pocket, throwing with good touch while on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Royce Jenkins | 2027 | Hagerty | @roycejenk9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jenkins has been working on refining his mechanics this offseason, and it's showing in his ability to push the ball downfield with arc and velocity. At 6-1, 205 pounds, he has the frame and arm talent to be a long-term QB1 for Hagerty.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1433217' first='Max' last='Griner'] | 2027 | Royal Palm Beach | @maxwellgriner</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Griner has already put up impressive production, completing 131-of-253 passes for 2,067 yards and 17 touchdowns. At 6-2, 180 pounds, he has a strong frame, quick progressions, and a decisive playing style, making him one of the top 2027 quarterbacks in Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>William Billingsley | 2026 | East River | @will7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Billingsley brings both brains and athleticism to the table. The 6-3, 210-pound QB posted 1,300+ passing yards and 550+ rushing yards last season, accounting for 17 total touchdowns. A two-year starter and team captain, he's also a three-sport athlete with a 4.0 GPA. His dual-threat ability makes him a matchup nightmare for defenses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
