PRZ Combine: Notable QB Spotlight

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='421052' first='Jackson' last='Stecher'] | QB | 2028 | Lake Brantley | @JacksonStecher9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stecher stood out in a big way at the PRZ Combine this weekend, showing why he's one of the top rising QBs in the 2028 class. His mechanics have taken a leap, and the ball jumps out of his hand with confidence and zip. He was consistent from start to finish—accurate, composed, and in full control. Stecher's growth is real, and Saturday made it clear he's trending toward being a big-time prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='400864' first='Landen' last='Holley'] | QB | 2027 | The First Academy | @LandenHolleyQB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holley was right there in the MVP discussion. He's grown into his frame and now stands at a 6-2 with a clean throwing motion and athletic base. What stood out most? His pure athleticism with the right touch to deliver many throws on the route tree. Holley was in command and looks like a 2027 QB ready to make some serious noise this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1369108' first='Jackson' last='Summerall'] | QB | 2026 | John Carroll | @Summerall_7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Summerall looked comfortable and composed from start to finish. He's got the size you want at 6-3, 190, and his throwing mechanics looked smoother than expected. He's transitioning into a new role at John Carroll, and if today's performance is a preview, he could be primed for a jump this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1658865' first='Gavin' last='Pritzkau'] | QB | 2030 | @GavinPritzkau</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's rare to say this about a rising 8th grader, but Pritzkau has it. From his footwork to his timing, he didn't look out of place at all. His anticipation and ability to layer throws were impressive, and he ripped through the route tree like a veteran. Might be the next big name out of Central Florida's 2030 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1258693' first='Ethan' last='Brous'] | QB | 2026 | Bartow | @d1_e_9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brous is quietly putting the pieces together. New system, new OC—but his approach looks dialed in. His footwork was cleaner, and his timing has improved. He's not forcing throws, just taking what's there and showing command. Keep tabs on how that translates this spring, but Saturday was a step in the right direction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Laquinton Chandler | QB | 2028 | Lake Gibson | @Qchandler627</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chandler was steady and sharp throughout the combine. He's got good poise for a young QB and already shows leadership intangibles. The arm talent is there, and you can see the flashes that suggest a solid future. Lake Gibson may have found its guy for the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1614405' first='Walker' last='Mottley'] | QB | 2030 | The First Academy | @WalkerMottleyQB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another impressive 2030 QB who plays above his age. Mottley's mechanics are already sound and he will become more consistent with ball placement. You can tell he's been working. He handled the moment well and should be one of the top young names in the area once he hits high school ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1655446' first='Brayden' last='Padgett'] | QB | 2027 | Lake Gibson | @brayden_p9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Padgett is one of the QBs generating buzz in Polk County, and this weekend gave a glimpse why. He's decent mechanically and has a solid foundation to build on. He's still putting all the pieces together, but there's upside here if he continues to develop at this pace.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jeremiah Hancock | QB | 2026 | Deltona | @Hancock_Qb</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hancock showed a good work ethic throughout the event. He's been grinding this offseason, and the reps are starting to pay off. He's got a live arm and has a little time to clean up his overall mechanics. With a strong spring, his name could rise on some radars.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
