Prospect Watch: 2027 QBs Deserve A Look

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brody Brenneman | LCS | @brody_brenneman</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top passing QB in Polk County right now, Brenneman has LCS's offense rolling. He's not the flashiest stat guy, but his leadership, command in the huddle, and consistency make him invaluable. He's a steady riser who's proving week by week that he can carry a program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kevin Verpaele | Merritt Island | @KevinVerpaele17</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Verpaele is built like a college-ready quarterback at 6-2, 190, and pairs that frame with verified 22.4 mph speed. That dual-threat blend has made him one of the most intriguing young QBs in the state. With his confidence, arm talent, and athleticism, it's no surprise offers are already rolling in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>King Boylston | Ed White | @KingBoylston</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boylston has earned his name being called in North Florida. He's guided Ed White to a 5-0 start and looks sharp doing it. Smooth mechanics, solid size, and steady leadership give him the polish of a more experienced quarterback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='690863' first='Myles' last='McDonald'] | Carrollwood Day | @813_mcdonald</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The lefty has taken a big jump since last season. McDonald's footwork and timing are sharper, his progressions are quicker, and his accuracy has become a real strength. His natural release stands out, and he's showing signs of a quarterback ready to take control of games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Antonio Balaguer | Sumner | @AntonioBal10893</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thrown into the fire early, Balaguer didn't flinch. He's shown confidence running the offense and poise under pressure, while also flashing the ability to throw on the move. That calm under fire has given Sumner's offense the spark it needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Collin Henderson | Plant City | @collin_cj12</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now with Plant City, Henderson is sharpening his game. His strong arm and clean mechanics allow him to squeeze throws into tight coverage, and his accuracy is coming along. He's trending in the right direction and looks like a legitimate riser.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brayden Himelright | Sickles | @BraydenHim8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After competing on big stages in previous offseason settings, Himelright is putting it together on Friday nights. With 700+ yards passing already, he's one of the top producers in the Tampa area. His progression from camps to games has been impressive to track.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Caleb Sanford | Forest | @caleb_Sanford1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sanford doesn't get much noise, but he's been a steady presence for a young Forest team off to a 3-1 start. He protects the football, spreads it around, and is growing in confidence. As his supporting cast develops, his production should keep climbing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1114953' first='Caden' last='Osborn'] | Booker T. Washington | @Cadenosborn2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Osborn brings a strong arm and solid frame for his age. He's clearly put in work during the offseason and is starting to see the payoff. As one of the young leaders for Booker T., Osborn's continued growth will be key for his program's rebuild.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1058482' first='Nick' last='Dyer'] | Cooper City | @NickDyer_QB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dyer stands out with his efficiency. Whether rolling out or throwing from the pocket, his ball placement and touch are consistent. He's putting the reps in and looks primed for his name to gain more traction as the season wears on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1258721' first='Tre' last='Kelly'] | South Lake | @Trekelly08lll</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kelly plays with confidence and composure. He's accurate in tight windows, makes smart decisions, and rarely forces mistakes. He may be under the radar now, but the tools and IQ suggest upside worth tracking closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
