[player_tooltip player_id='221588' first='Cruz' last='James'], Quarterback – Fletcher High   Height/Weight: 6'2", 165 lbs   Stats Summary: 121-196, 1,486 yards, 16 touchdowns | 27 carries, 118 yards, 1 touchdown   Evaluation: James put together a strong freshman season, throwing for nearly 1,500 yards with 16 touchdowns. He has great size at 6'2" and a solid foundation as a passer. While he isn't a primary running threat, he can extend plays when needed. Improving his decision-making and overall efficiency could take his game to the next level. With continued development, he has the tools to become a high-level prospect.   [player_tooltip player_id='1567340' first='Knox' last='Annis'], Quarterback – Mandarin High   Height/Weight: 6'2", 195 lbs   Stats Summary: 83-193, 1,349 yards, 9 touchdowns | 11 carries, 147 yards, 3 touchdowns   Evaluation: Annis is already attracting Division 1 attention, showcasing both a strong arm and mobility. His ability to make plays downfield and extend drives with his legs makes him a versatile threat. While his completion percentage could improve, his natural ability and size give him a high ceiling. If he refines his accuracy and consistency, he has the potential to be one of the top quarterbacks in his class.   Steven Wright, Quarterback – South Broward High   Height/Weight: 6'0", 225 lbs   Stats Summary: 76-109, 1,321 yards, 10 touchdowns | 75 carries, 537 yards, 1 touchdown   Evaluation: Wright is a true dual-threat quarterback, showing efficiency as a passer while also being a major factor in the run game. His 225-pound frame allows him to be a physical runner, making him tough to bring down in the open field. With a high completion rate and over 500 rushing yards, he can stress defenses in multiple ways. If he continues to develop his pocket presence and deep ball, he'll be a dangerous playmaker at the next level.   Kreg Brown, Quarterback – Lennard High   Height/Weight: N/A   Stats Summary: 14-23, 171 yards, 2 touchdowns   Evaluation: Brown saw limited varsity action as a freshman but showed good efficiency in his attempts. His small sample size makes it difficult to fully evaluate his skill set, but his ability to complete passes at a high rate is a good sign. More reps and experience will be key in his development, and if he earns a bigger role as a sophomore, he'll have a chance to prove himself as a leader for Lennard.   Jaden Quenga, Quarterback – Wharton High   Height/Weight: 5'11", 155 lbs   Stats Summary: 12-24, 168 yards, 1 touchdown | 14 carries, 86 yards, 1 touchdown   Evaluation: Quenga showed flashes of playmaking ability in limited action, contributing as both a passer and a runner. His dual-threat capability gives him an intriguing upside, but he will need more opportunities to develop his passing consistency. If he can build on his freshman experience and continue growing physically, he could become a key piece for Wharton's offense.   Overall Overview:   This group features a mix of highly productive quarterbacks and developing prospects. [player_tooltip player_id='1567340' first='Knox' last='Annis'] is the most established prospect with multiple Division 1 offers, while [player_tooltip player_id='221588' first='Cruz' last='James'] and Steven Wright put up impressive numbers and have the skill sets to take major leaps as sophomores. Kreg Brown and Jaden Quenga are still in the early stages of their development but have shown potential in limited reps. With continued growth, all of these quarterbacks have the chance to take on bigger roles and elevate their games in the coming seasons.
