Rankings Update: Top Uncommitted '26 QB's

[player_tooltip player_id='1314850' first='Brittin' last='Poffenbarger']: Productive Dual-Threat QB with Rising Stock   [player_tooltip player_id='1314850' first='Brittin' last='Poffenbarger'] is coming off a breakout season in which he totaled 30 touchdowns, 20 through the air and 10 on the ground, firmly establishing himself as one of the more productive dual-threat quarterbacks in his class. With a balanced skill set, Poffenbarger continues to gain momentum on the recruiting trail.   He currently holds eight Division I offers, including from Towson University, the University of Delaware, and most recently, Stony Brook University. His ability to make plays both through the air and in the run game makes him a tough assignment for opposing defenses.   With another year of growth and refinement ahead, Poffenbarger's recruitment is trending in the right direction. If he builds on last season's success, expect even more programs, FCS and beyond, to take serious interest.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/brittpoffenbarg/status/1911043720641651100 </div></figure>      [player_tooltip player_id='402031' first='Xavier' last='Brookins']: Quarterback with Arm Talent and Playmaking Ability   [player_tooltip player_id='402031' first='Xavier' last='Brookins'] is a dynamic quarterback prospect whose skill set allows him to thrive both inside and outside the pocket. Currently holding three Division I offers, from the University of Pennsylvania, Hampton University, and Georgetown University, Brookins is emerging as a name to watch in the 2025 class.   Brookins is an athletic quarterback with the arm strength to stretch the field and the touch to make precise throws across the middle and to the boundary. He's shown the ability to take the top off the defense with deep shots, keeping secondaries honest. Equally impressive is his athleticism, he escapes pressure fluidly, extends plays on the move, and shows excellent body control, flipping his hips to deliver accurate throws while on the run.   With a blend of poise, mobility, and field vision, Brookins brings versatility to any offensive system. As his senior season approaches, expect more programs to take notice of his ability to create and finish plays at all levels of the field.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Xman_qb/status/1863534468788572516 </div></figure>      Ben Raines: Experienced Signal-Caller with High Ceiling   Ben Raines has been a familiar name in the Prep Redzone rankings, and for good reason. A well-traveled and battle-tested quarterback, Raines has gained valuable experience across multiple top-tier programs throughout his high school career. He began in the WCAC at powerhouse DeMatha, where he led the JV squad to a championship, flashing early signs of his upside.   Over the past two seasons, Raines suited up for Mount Saint Joseph, continuing his development and gaining reps against some of the toughest competition in the Mid-Atlantic. Now, in his return home to South River High School, Raines is poised to lead with confidence and take full command of the offense.   At 6'2" with a strong arm, Raines delivers with both power and precision. He consistently shows the ability to drop the ball in the bucket with touch on vertical routes and maintains composure in the pocket. A seasoned player since his 8th-grade days, he's been performing at a high level against some of the best talent across Maryland and the East Coast.   With his blend of size, experience, and arm talent, Raines is set for a breakout senior season that could bring new eyes to his recruitment.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BenRainesQB/status/1856879464602321178 </div></figure>    [player_tooltip player_id='401992' first='Braeden' last='Palazzo']: Lefty QB with Deep Ball Touch and Field Vision   [player_tooltip player_id='401992' first='Braeden' last='Palazzo'] is a promising left-handed quarterback with natural rhythm, poise, and early recruiting buzz. He currently holds two offers from Syracuse University and North Carolina Central, both earned early in his high school career, a testament to the potential he's flashed on film.   Palazzo excels in a timing-based passing game, showing the ability to consistently hit receivers in stride, especially on vertical routes. He throws with touch and anticipation, leading his targets and giving them opportunities to make plays after the catch. His mechanics are smooth, and he plays with confidence in the pocket, keeping his eyes downfield while navigating pressure.   Quick to set and release, Palazzo gets the ball out efficiently, allowing him to stay one step ahead of the rush.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/braeden_palaz09/status/1854938502649331858 </div></figure>      [player_tooltip player_id='245832' first='Mikey' last='Gow']: Strong-Armed Quarterback with Mobility and Untapped Potential   [player_tooltip player_id='245832' first='Mikey' last='Gow'] is a talented signal-caller whose journey has taken him through Texas powerhouse Allen High School, then Omaha North (NE), and now landing at Mount Zion Prep (MD) for the next chapter of his development. At 6'2” and over 200 pounds, Gow brings both size and a live arm to the quarterback position.   On tape, Gow flashes impressive velocity and accuracy, consistently delivering passes on time and hitting receivers right in the numbers, even on deep balls. He's not just a pocket passer either, Gow has shown the ability to evade pressure, extend plays with his legs, and find open targets downfield with poise and control.   While his recruitment has yet to fully take off, that could change quickly with a strong season at Mount Zion. As a prospect with physical tools, experience across multiple systems, and a skill set built for modern offenses, Gow is poised to draw attention, especially from programs in the DMV looking for a high-upside quarterback with mobility and arm talent.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Mikeygow2308/status/1940051632068435970 </div></figure>
