He helped guide Bishop Moore past a tough Bartow squad, managing the offense with confidence and showing he can handle pressure situations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='421052' first='Jackson' last='Stecher'] | 2028 | Lake Brantley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stecher had one of the most efficient outings you'll see. In a high-stakes matchup with Oviedo, he went 24-of-26 for 346 yards, adding 1 passing TD and 2 rushing TDs in the 47-37 win. It was the kind of performance that proves Lake Brantley is legit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1870916' first='Brady' last='Quinn'] | 2028 | Lely</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Trojans keep lighting up the scoreboard, and Quinn is the engine. He accounted for 238 total yards, 3 passing TDs, 2 rushing TDs, and was a perfect 6-for-6 on two-point conversions in a 60-36 win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>AJ Chung | 2028 | West Orange</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chung might be one of the most impressive 2028 quarterbacks in the state right now. Against Titusville, he was nearly flawless: 10-of-12 for 206 yards and 4 TDs — all in the first half. He's undefeated as a starter and playing with confidence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chase Burrill | 2027 | SPC</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Few QBs are playing cleaner football than Burrill. In just two games at SPC, he's 36-of-46 for 621 yards, 10 TDs, and 0 interceptions. He looks locked in under coach Jesse Chinchar, and his efficiency has been remarkable.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1254253' first='Brycen' last='Marbrey'] | 2028 | Lake Howell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marbrey has Lake Howell sitting at 2-1, and he's been the key to their offensive rhythm. He posted 274 yards, 5 TDs, and a 71% completion rate this past week. One of the sharper young QBs in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1279444' first='Ayden' last='Wallace'] | 2026 | Lakewood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lakewood's defense has been dominant, but Wallace deserves plenty of recognition. He's been steady, efficient, and consistent, giving Lakewood the balance they need. One of the most improved signal-callers in the region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Patrick Harding | 2026 | Zephyrhills</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harding is quietly torching defenses. Through two games, he's 17-of-24 (71%) for 387 yards, 6 TDs, and 0 INTs — and that's only playing two halves of football. He's currently leading all 4A QBs in Florida in passing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QBs to Keep an Eye On</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1754043' first='Cayden' last='Thomas'] | 2026 | Mitchell<br><br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1583956' first='Chance' last='Routson'] | 2026 | PBC<br><br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Sam Johnson | 2026 | Boone<br><br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Noah Walstad | Boca Ciega<br><br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
