We always start our class breakdowns with the quarterbacks, so here we've got everything you need to know about the signal-callers who moved up in the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most of these guys flew up the rankings from the watchlist. Check out our 2028 QB Stock-Risers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2028 QB Stock-Risers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1616122"],"_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-684742e4c45a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We moved Patterson up the rankings internally before he blew up on the recruiting trail and we probably didn't put him high enough. He has elite size and has flashed high-level accuracy, especially when layering throws between levels of the defense. As he continues to work on his footwork, he will continue to advance and has the physical ability to become an elite prospect by the time he graduates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["866234"],"_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-684742e4c4601"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If there's a guy I'm staking an early claim on, it's Crisp, a guy who's physical talent gives him great upside. An elite runner, Crisp has come a long way as a passer, and his arm talent, even while undersized is obvious from even just a quick glance at his film. He sat behind a Duke commit in his freshman year, but assuming he does take over as the starter, he'll have some weapons to work with and could be one of the fastest risers in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611127"],"_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-684742e4c4649"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Though he wasn't a full-time starter all season, Ammons flashed as a freshman, throwing for 764 yards and adding nearly 250 yards on the ground. He's putting on some weight in hopes of filling out a wiry frame, which should only help is dual-threat abilities. We're excited to see what he can do during his sophomore season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1037478"],"_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-684742e4c46a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A multi-sport athlete, Coro flashed good arm talent and accuracy in limited action for Holly Springs last season before transferring in the offseason to Southern Lee. He should get more playing time in 2025, and his game should translate, as he has the ability to make tough throws. He doesn't have to set his feet to deliver with precision and already has great size for his age.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other Impressive 2028 QBs</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kaden Kraft,</strong> Lake Norman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1616143' first='Ryan' last='Rizzuti']</strong>, Myers Park</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1616211' first='Draeton' last='Nance'], </strong>Davie County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
