Quarterback Stock Risers Through 5 Weeks

The quarterback play in the state of Michigan has been incredible so far this season. Every class, every play style and every physical tool is represented all over the place. Below are just a few of the dozens of great QBs that have absolutely raised their stock so far this season!    After watching Wynn perform over the summer in 7-on-7s, my expectations for him rose significantly, and he is still surpassing them. Dow has put the ball in his hands often, and he has responded with poise, efficiency, and consistent production. Wynn shows a great release, good footwork and tremendous accuracy-far above many in his class, and frankly, the 2026 class as well. Not just on short and intermediate routes, but on vertical shots 25+ yards downfield, he delivers the ball with good touch right on the money. On film, Wynn looks comfortable and confident in the pocket. He maneuvers pressure well, keeps his eyes downfield, and consistently throws catchable balls to the right spot. He demonstrates the ability to extend plays and deliver accurate throws on the run, while also showing the discipline to drop back, set his base, and deliver strikes. His midseason film looks great, and I am very confident that he has all of the tools to make a program at the next level very happy.     Braylon has impressed early this season. He's a playmaker who has poise under pressure and the arm talent to push the ball downfield consistently. This is a guy who was meant for the RPO style. On tape, he displays the ability to deliver balls even with defenders bearing down, keeping his eyes up and finding ways to get the ball to his wideouts. His timing and rhythm on shorter throws are perfect, typically hitting the receiver just as they come out of their break. Athletically, Braylon is as advertised as well. He can escape the pocket, extend plays, pick up yardage when the opportunity presents itself, or he can throw on the run and off platform comfortably. Through the first stretch of the season, Braylon has done an excellent job leading this Northview team, and he is a key reason why they continue to win games.     It's hard to imagine Drew's stock climbing much higher, yet he continues to elevate his game. Leading one of the most prolific offenses in Michigan, he has been in complete command and dealing it all over the field. Through five weeks, his film displays all the traits you want in a top quarterback prospect. He possesses the arm strength to push the ball vertically, paired with elite ball placement. He consistently layers throws between defenders and delivers strikes where only his guys can go get it. Throwing on the run, off platform or with pressure, his accuracy and decision making doesn't take a hit. One of his biggest improvements so far is his ability to process and execute under duress. He is still able to fit the ball in exceptionally tight windows with timing and anticipation even with the defense in his face. He has done a ton of improving to his overall athleticism as well, getting more opportunities with designed runs. He has been showing off good vision and the ability to make guys miss with a spin move or a little hesitation. He continues to show steady growth, and it's paying off with plenty of attention from the next level.     It still baffles me that Jake doesn't hold some of the same offers as others in his class, because there isn't much that they can do that he can't. Jake is a consistent leader, a proven playmaker and a gunslinger that leads this explosive GB offense. Mechanically, Jake has always been solid. He has a live arm that is extremely accurate anywhere on the field. Pressure doesn't bother him, as he has shown over and over that when the pocket breaks down, he is able to escape and extend the play, keeping his eyes downfield and delivering great balls. It's no mistake that Grand Blanc has such a high octane offense, as Morrow is so dynamic and constantly gets the ball to his playmakers. They'll continue lighting up scoreboards weekly, and I can't wait to see the Grand Blanc-Davison game in a few weeks!     I have watched Brayden grow a ton over the last year or so. He is as calm and poised as he has ever been. In week 1, I watched him play extremely well against a stout Saline defense. He made a handful of high level throws that required timing and velocity. He has also developed a ton athletically, making him a real threat on the ground. He gets his number called often, and he has no issue attacking the teeth of the defense and grinding out tough yards. It has helped him in the passing game as well, as his accuracy doesn't drop off when he's throwing on the run or off platform. Another underrated aspect of his game, and maybe quarterbacking as a whole, is the play fake. You can't tell the difference between when he is really handing the ball off or if it's play action. It freezes the defense for that split second, allowing receivers to get open and giving the offensive line a little extra time to block. Overall, Daniels has made excellent strides in his development, developing into the dual threat guy I had projected him to be a couple of years ago. I'm excited to see what him and the rest of this Rockford team can accomplish in the postseason!
