Rankings Dive: 2027 QB's 6-10

[player_tooltip player_id='945471' first='Jason' last='Lindsay']: Poised Playmaker with a Live Arm and Next-Level Traits   [player_tooltip player_id='945471' first='Jason' last='Lindsay'] is a dynamic quarterback prospect whose poise, arm talent, and off-platform playmaking ability make him one of the more intriguing signal-callers in his class. Lindsay consistently shows the ability to push the ball downfield, delivering accurate deep shots—even while on the move or under duress.   One standout clip from his film highlights exactly what sets him apart: facing pressure in the pocket, Lindsay calmly evades multiple rushers, rolls out, and delivers a strike downfield, all while keeping his eyes up and staying composed. It's that kind of pocket awareness and improvisational ability that reflects the traits college coaches look for in a true Division I quarterback.   After a strong sophomore season, he's positioned for a true breakout junior campaign. He recently picked up an offer from Sacramento State in May, and more attention is expected as he continues to refine his already impressive skill set.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Jl1ndsayy/status/1889516505382952973 </div></figure>      [player_tooltip player_id='477498' first='Jackson' last='Rice']: Precision Passer with Championship Pedigree and Elite Ball Placement   [player_tooltip player_id='477498' first='Jackson' last='Rice'] is a cerebral, highly accurate quarterback who thrives from the pocket with next-level ball placement and timing. Whether layering throws over defenders or leading receivers into open space, Rice consistently delivers catchable passes that allow his playmakers to operate in stride.   Rice currently holds one Division I offer from Sacramento State, but with his résumé and skill set, more interest is likely on the horizon as his senior season unfolds.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jackson_rice27/status/1864069767478313227 </div></figure>      [player_tooltip player_id='1570610' first='Brett' last='Paukstis']: Record-Setting Signal-Caller with Elite Production and Leadership   [player_tooltip player_id='1570610' first='Brett' last='Paukstis'] emerged as one of the most productive quarterbacks in the region during his sophomore season, putting up staggering numbers en route to an All-IAC Team selection. The St. Albans standout threw for 3,406 yards and 37 touchdowns in 2024, leading his team to an IAC Championship and solidifying himself as a rising star in the 2027 class.   With two years of eligibility remaining and a championship already under his belt, Paukstis is positioned to become one of the most highly recruited quarterbacks in the DMV. If he replicates his 2024 performance, expect college coaches across the DMV and even the country to take notice.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BrettyP_123/status/1865776876431532461 </div></figure>      [player_tooltip player_id='1353100' first='Jayden' last='Ford']: Dual-Threat QB with Playmaking Ability and Room to Rise   Despite a shortened six-game season, [player_tooltip player_id='1353100' first='Jayden' last='Ford'] showcased flashes of high-level potential as a dual-threat quarterback with mobility and natural feel in the quick game. Ford excelled on rollouts and hash-to-hash throws, consistently delivering accurate, catchable passes that allowed his receivers to rack up yards after the catch.   Outside the pocket, Ford is dangerous. He runs with confidence, vision, and enough speed to turn broken plays into explosive gains. His ability to extend plays with both his arm and legs makes him a tough assignment for defenses and a valuable weapon in any offensive scheme.   Ford recently earned his first Division I offer from Delaware State earlier this month, a well-deserved nod to his raw tools and upside. With a full season ahead, expect more schools to take notice as Ford continues to develop and showcase his dual-threat capabilities.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JFord2_/status/1931365700171432202 </div></figure>      [player_tooltip player_id='953527' first='Kenjai' last='Gatling']: Confident, Mobile QB with Downfield Touch and Playmaking Versatility   [player_tooltip player_id='953527' first='Kenjai' last='Gatling'] is a rising quarterback talent with a well-rounded skill set and natural playmaking instincts. Now at DeMatha Catholic (MD) after transferring from Monsignor Bonner/Archbishop Prendergast Catholic (PA), Gatling has begun to turn heads with flashes of arm strength, poise under pressure, and athletic mobility.   On his DeMatha tape, Gatling shows the ability to deliver timely, accurate throws, especially in the short and intermediate game. On his Bonner tape he shows deep-ball touch and composure when the pocket collapses. He shows the ability to extend plays with his legs, whether it's rolling out to hit targets in stride or scrambling for first downs and touchdowns.   Gatling's tools suggest he's just scratching the surface. With increased reps in a nationally respected program like DeMatha, his stock could rise quickly heading into his upperclassman years.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaiGat23/status/1936158341685760194 </div></figure>
