<p><strong>Ryne Sheppard – QB, Maroa-Forsyth (5'11, 190, 2026)</strong><br>Sheppard has been one of the most productive arms in Illinois so far this season, already racking up 945 passing yards and 12 touchdowns. He's undersized by traditional standards, but his live arm and quick release allow him to drive the ball downfield with ease. Defenses have struggled to take away the deep ball against him, and his numbers show he can carve up secondaries in a hurry.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1267128' first='Matthew' last='Gipson'] – QB, Grant (6'1, 185, 2026)</strong><br>Gipson is off to a strong start with 851 passing yards and 7 touchdowns, showing off his ability to push the ball vertically and spread it around the field. At 6'1, 185, he has the frame and tools to keep developing, and his arm strength has given Grant's offense a real spark. He isn't afraid to take shots downfield and trusts his receivers to make plays in tight coverage.</p>

<p><strong>Jaxon Bridges – QB, Effingham (6'0, 165, 2026)</strong><br>Bridges has been a steady presence for Effingham, and his arm talent is clear. He delivers the ball with zip, and his touch on deep throws has made him a dangerous playmaker in the passing game. His ability to extend plays and still get the ball out with velocity makes him a tough quarterback to defend.</p>

<p><strong>Kenyonte Louis – QB, 2026 (6'1, 205)</strong><br>Louis is another rising signal-caller making noise with his arm strength. He's totaled 639 passing yards and 8 touchdowns this season, and his 6'1, 205-pound frame allows him to stand tall in the pocket and deliver strikes. Louis combines power with poise, and his development could make him one of the more intriguing quarterback prospects in this class.</p>
