Tennessee 2029 Rankings: 50+ Quarterbacks To Know

After a year of finding prospects, evaluating them in person and on film, speaking with different coaches and sources throughout the state, the Prep Redzone Next Tennessee Class of 2029 Rankings and Watchlist is complete. This list contains nearly 400 prospects that are set to make their high school football debut this upcoming fall---and the talent is immense.   A few things to remember:   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Other than the Top-10 overall rankings, EVERY OTHER SECTION IS LISTED ALPHABETICALLY BY FIRST NAME</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>This list is NOT final and will be updated by Prep Redzone Tennessee as HS careers progress</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Things change quickly on this level and there may be incorrect information that I simply missed/wasn't aware of </li> </ul>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Quarterbacks Ranked in Top-10 Overall</h2>    <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Ranked the No.1 QB and No.5 overall prospect in the initial Tennessee class of 2029 rankings</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Gillum will be the starting Quarterback at Anderson County High School this upcoming season</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>As of 7/19/25 already reports verbal offers from Ole Miss, Maryland, Southern Miss and Vanderbilt</li> </ul>   An extension of the coaching staff on the field and poised beyond his years as a Quarterback. Very well put together for a prospect just starting his high school career. Does a nice job of zipping the ball into tight windows, but can also let it fly down field with ease. Appears to have a nice grasp on his arm strength and can accurately deliver the ball with good velocity to multiple levels.     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Ranked the No.2 QB and No.8 overall prospect in the initial Tennessee class of 2029 rankings</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Competing for the starting QB job at Oakland High School this upcoming season</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Was selected to the UA Next 8th Grade All-American Game in January 2025</li> </ul>   Morton was nothing short of spectacular during his middle school career at Ensworth and will begin new at Oakland this fall. He makes some truly special plays and brings dual-threat ability, making him a very dangerous QB. Throws the ball very naturally and has a strong release. Making off-platform throws is nothing out of the norm. Has impressive pocket awareness and if a play breaks down, he uses mobility and easily extends the play.      <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/07/Hank-Bloomfield-feature.png?w=875" alt="" class="wp-image-1717476" style="width:524px;height:auto" /></figure>     <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Top-20 Quarterback Prospect Watchlist </h2>   **Listed Alphabetically By First Name**    In my opinion, the best pure athlete of any 2029 Quarterback in the state that i've seen. An elite prospect on the football field, and is widely considered to be an even better basketball player. An All-Conference selection in 2024, the Southpaw brings a ton of dual-threat ability as a QB but also plays Defensive Back.     Blessed with excellent size, Garrett is a 2029 prospect with a huge amount of upside. He'll join his brother [player_tooltip player_id='819521' first='Eli' last='Garrett'] at Cannon County this fall, who returns after earning All-Region honors a year ago in his first season as a Quarterback. As for [player_tooltip player_id='1614250' first='Corbin' last='Garrett'], he was an All-Conference selection in both football and basketball during 2024-2025. He will likely find the field at a position other than QB this fall, but his ceiling is very high.     Efficient, accurate and smart are three words to describe the type of signal caller Hayden is. Looks at home operating out of shot gun, but is a smooth operator out of multiple different sets. Has little problem hitting his targets in stride, specifically in the middle of the field above the Linebacker box. His father played for the Vols, brother Chase played at Arkansas and Illinois, brother Dallan is currently at Colorado.     A bit raw when it comes to Quarterback fundamentals, but Fisk has all the athleticism needed to be an instant impact player at Kenwood High School. Highly athletic with speed and vision to escape trouble in the pocket. During the 2024 season, earned All-County honors and helped Kenwood Middle School to the Montgomery County Championship game.     A Southpaw Quarterback that makes some impressive throws when given the opportunity to set his feet and go. Plays the position with very smooth mechanics. His fundamentals are near the top of the list when looking at the 2029 QBs in the state. Does a nice job of driving the ball on short to intermediate passes.     Following a great eighth-grade season at Grace Christian Academy, Utley will be facing a new challenge at Knoxville Catholic. A thicker, heavier Quarterback, UItley is certainly more of a pure pocket passer. Utley has a very strong arm and loves to throw the deep ball. He's not afraid to take a shot and wants to go vertical.     A broken ankle robbed Harrell of the majority of his eighth-grade football season at Thompson Station Middle School, but there's no doubt he's a tremendous athlete. He's put together nicely and has a very quick release, with no wasted movement. Defensively he can play Strong Safety/Linebacker too. He was named Male Athlete of the Year at Thompson Station.     A really good looking Quarterback with ideal size and weight entering his freshman season at Richland High School. Last season an eighth-grader, Shrader helped Richland Middle School win their first ever Tri-County Conference Championship and was named the conference's overall MVP. He went on to also play varsity baseball this past spring.     He'll have to wait a year playing behind Columbia University commit [player_tooltip player_id='914547' first='Kaedyn' last='Marable'], but Battle Ground Academy has their Quarterback of the future in [player_tooltip player_id='1532694' first='Hank' last='Bloomfield']. Bloomfield enters the high school level after leading BGA Middle School to a Harpeth Valley Athletic Conference (HVAC) Championship last season, while producing 2,374 yards of offense and 28 touchdowns.     A three-sport athlete with a huge upside. Has a long, lean, sinewy frame that reminds me very much of current Cleveland Brown Deshaun Watson. He's a long-strider that doesn't have blazing speed, but is more than capable to pick up yards with his legs. Also lined up at WR, Edge and OLB. Amos played a major role in Mt. Pleasant Junior High's Maury County championship last season.     Wiggington will take quite the leap when he goes from being QB1 of the Minchie Elementary Blue Devils as an eighth-grader to playing QB for Jackson Christian this upcoming season as a freshman. A dual-threat Quarterback with a boat load of athleticism, Wiggington was selected to the West Tennessee Middle School All-Star Game in football and was an All-County selection in basketball this past year.     Long is off to Beech High School and if the previous few years are any indication of what's to come...get your popcorn ready. Long enters high school after earning All-County honors as both a seventh and eighth-grader. Long was the key to a high-powered offensive machine that outscored its opponents 520-149 last season, leading the Hunter Buccaneers to a third-straight Sumner County title.     The reigning, and a three-time Offensive MVP out of Legacy Middle School will be in line to take the wheel at Independence High School when his time comes. While Independence struggled on the Varsity level. Dell thrived at Legacy Middle School and guided them to a 9-0 record last season, culminating in a Williamson Middle Schools Athletic Association title. A smart, efficient QB that throws off the play action as well as anyone in the state.     Anybody that can help guide a team to victory in the MSCIAA is absolutely worth taking a look at, because the competition in Memphis/Shelby County is deep. Strong bounced back from an ankle injury to help Memphis Business Academy go undefeated and win the Class A championship. This upcoming season he's off to Bartlett High School as part of a very deep freshman group.     As far as having the best, pure arm talent goes in this Tennessee 2029 class of Quarterbacks, [player_tooltip player_id='1708034' first='Kingston' last='Glover'] is absolutely in the conversation. He's a really good looking prospect with an ideal frame for the position. High football IQ based off clips I've seen. The son of a coach. Also one of the top Pitchers on the diamond, in the Volunteer State.     He'll have to wait a year behind QB incumbent [player_tooltip player_id='353896' first='Jackson' last='Stroup'], but [player_tooltip player_id='1547415' first='Landry' last='Roddy'] is a Quarterback to know at Gallatin High School. Roddy plays the position like a combination of Kyler Murray and Brett Favre, and had a very decorated middle school career at Schafer Middle School. A two-time All-County selection, Roddy earned Sumner County Offensive Player of the Year last year and completed 62% of his passes for 1,614 yards in total offense, 31 touchdowns and only two interceptions     Alongside [player_tooltip player_id='1305211' first='Cullen' last='Hayden'], Christian Brothers High School will also be brining in [player_tooltip player_id='1717494' first='Nate' last='Brick'] to compete at the Quarterback position--providing the Purple Wave with an embarrassment of riches. Brick served as the lynch pin for a St. Louis Christian School offense that loved to spread defenses out and fire the ball around the yard.     Quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1718193' first='PJ' last='Williams'] was part of a special group at Rose Park Magnet Middle School that brought home back-to-back Metro Nashville Public Schools City championships last season as an eighth-grader. Williams had a tremendous surrounding cast with the Titans, and will again have talented playmakers around him at Pope John Paul II High School.     Briarcrest Christian has a very good group of Freshman coming in this year, and Quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1698826' first='Riley' last='Bingham'] is one of those standout players. A tall, lean 6-foot-2 and 160-pounds, Bingham accounted for 20 touchdowns last season as an eighth-grader, in addition to 1,173 passing yards. The consummate pocket passer, he does a nice job of standing tall in the pocket and delivering strikes.     Watching Montgomery Bell Academy's 8th Grade Team from a year ago, [player_tooltip player_id='1704822' first='Tucker' last='Daniel'] was the player who repeatedly jumped off the screen on each play. Daniel played the QB position well and showed off dangerous dual-threat ability and overall athleticism. As of 7/19/25, he's also the lone 2029 prospect listed on the Varsity roster--which shouldn't shock anyone. His father played at Southern Miss and older brother Payne Daniel is currently playing at Vanderbilt.      <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/02/Landry-Roddy-Feature-29.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1616512" style="width:524px;height:auto" /></figure>     <h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">The Best of the Rest Quarterback Prospect Watchlist </h3>   **Listed Alphabetically By First Name**   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1523431' first='Athan' last='Spaulding'] | Dresden High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1563275' first='Barrett' last='O'Brien'] | Liberty Creek High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718103' first='Bentley' last='Loftis'] | Portland High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1277967' first='Braeson' last='Gourley'] | Knoxville Central High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718104' first='Caleb' last='Breeden'] | Coalfield High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1539739' first='Clark' last='Ross'] | Dyer County High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718106' first='Collin' last='Donnell'] | DeKalb County High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718122' first='Easton' last='Lee'] | Siegel High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1642853' first='Ethan' last='Cline'] | Bearden High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718100' first='Grady' last='Burke'] | Sullivan East High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718158' first='Grant' last='Austin'] | White County High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718133' first='Hayes' last='Work'] | University School of Jackson</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718134' first='Holland' last='Frick'] | Ooltewah High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718149' first='Hunter' last='Belcher'] | Science Hill High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718153' first='Jack' last='Barnes'] | Rhea County High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718154' first='Jack' last='Berry'] | Brentwood Academy</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1542332' first='Jack' last='Hill'] | Memphis University School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1686419' first='Jackson' last='Arthur'] | Ravenwood High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718157' first='Jackson' last='Parker'] | Columbia Central High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1706197' first='Jace' last='Heupel'] | Knoxville West High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1539857' first='Jansen' last='Graves'] | Trinity Christian Academy</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Jett Vanderpool | Giles County High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1633788' first='Kohbe' last='Ward'] | Concord Christian School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718180' first='Lorenzo' last='Sanders'] | Antioch High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1715096' first='Lucas' last='Clifford'] | Greenback High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1550283' first='Parker' last='Ross'] | McKenzie High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1549656' first='Redding' last='Wilson'] | Lexington High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718205' first='Seth' last='Frankfield'] | Greenfield High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1633607' first='Turner' last='White'] | Brentwood High School</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1556491' first='Will' last='Dodds'] | University School of Jackson</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1718221' first='Zeth' last='Compean'] | Blackman High School</li> </ul>
