Top Returning 4A QB's - Prep Redzone

4A has some playmakers coming back in 2025 behind center! Take a look:    I talked about LaDuke a few weeks back, and he comes in at the top of the QB's here in 4A based off his film. He possesses those leadership traits and that "It factor" you look for in a big time player. Smart, high motor kid that plays with a chip on his shoulder and is a true dual threat QB that should be on your radar ASAP. He checks all the boxes and looks as if he will be able to fit into nearly any scheme, providing that Snowflake offense with a ton of versatility heading into 2025- as he lit up 4A his sophomore year throwing for over 1,000 and rushing for over 1,000, ultimately leading Snowflake to a 10-0 regular season record and a semifinals appearance as a sophomore.     Wallwork is a really polished QB with an excellent pocket presence, frequently showing the ability to slide left or right and deliver a strong, accurate throw while anticipating a hit. High competitive toughness level as he took some legit hits after release and wasn't phased a bit. His best strength is his ability to keep his eyes downfield while going through progression despite all the chaos around him- and delivers with a quick, snappy release with the ability to hit all 3 levels of throws with excellent timing. Good athleticism as well as he's shown the ability to escape the pocket and extend plays with his legs to pick up big gains- and could potentially be a big play threat on the ground as well as he heads into his senior year- showing a really good burst and cut upfield.     Yoney has been on my radar for a few years now, and he holds a ton of promise heading into his senior campaign as a 4-year starter with Mohave bumping from 3A to 4A and looks hungry to make some noise. As a runner, he shows excellent twitch and COD with loose hips to make opponents miss, and good top end speed to finish big plays. Really good vision and decision making when running a read options and has a natural feel to pull it and stick his foot in the ground and get vertical with burst. Don't sleep on him as a passer, as he can sit back and dice up a defense when given the time to throw as well. Good placement and timing with the ability to finesse throws in between opponents and work high-low or low-high depending on the coverage and route combo. In just 6 games played last season, Yoney totaled 17 TD's, with 7 passing and 10 rushing. A legit dual-threat QB that was a preseason POY candidate a year ago and has all the potential to be a top QB in 4A. Very electric player with a high ceiling this fall.     Brown is another kid I talked about a few weeks back, as I think he's prone for a breakout senior season and could draw the attention he's been working for, along with a shot to put Flag High back on the map in 4A. Long, slender frame at 6'3" 180lbs with room to add mass and he does a good job standing tall in the pocket to deliver strikes with good timing. He knows he's tasked with a big role as a 4-year varsity starter now- so I'm really looking forward to see what he can bring to the table here this fall.     Smith doesn't get enough credit for his role and production last season, blowing away expectations. He filled in for Top prospect [player_tooltip player_id='954409' first='Braylen' last='Rooney'] after an injury, and Smith stepped up without hesitation throwing for 1,282 yards and 14 TD's with only 2 picks. Excellent all-around athlete with position versatility to be a difference maker at QB or WR. Solid pocket mechanics overall and delivers with a quick release and knows how to distinguish velocity vs touch. He did a great job selling PA and throwing on the run to fit throws into tight windows. Love his ability to escape the pocket and find receivers downfield, as his first play on film echo's his athleticism.
