Stat Stuffers: DFW Signal Callers On The Rise in Week 5

<p>As the high school football season reaches its midpoint, the Dallas-Fort Worth area is once again proving to be a hotbed for quarterback talent. Several young passers are emerging as leaders for their programs, putting up big numbers while showcasing advanced skill sets. Each of these players brings something unique to the table, whether it's arm strength, poise, accuracy, or athleticism. Here's a closer look at some of the signal callers making noise across the Metroplex.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Flowers has been the catalyst for Princeton's undefeated start, displaying the type of command you want from a quarterback. He plays with poise under pressure and rarely looks rattled, even when defenses collapse the pocket. What stands out most is his arm strength paired with touch, he has no problem driving the football downfield but also knows how to layer throws into tight windows. His mobility gives him an added edge, allowing him to slide away from pressure and extend plays without breaking rhythm. Flowers has already thrown for 1,233 yards and 11 touchdowns, and he looks like a quarterback who gets stronger as the game goes on.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/__MarcusFlowers/status/1967234488452419724 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Few quarterbacks in the area have been as technically sharp as Bibbs this season. His footwork is clean and efficient, which allows him to reset quickly and deliver the ball with precision. The quickness of his release jumps off the tape and defenders have little time to react once he makes his decision. He's particularly effective throwing outside the numbers, where his accuracy and velocity consistently beat coverage. In the pocket, he shows an advanced awareness, maneuvering calmly without panicking. Through the first half of the year, Bibbs has piled up 1,160 yards and 11 touchdowns, putting him among the statistical leaders in DFW.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaydenBibbs26/status/1968674328548905036 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">A proven winner, Williams already owns a state championship ring and brings veteran experience to Anna's offense. He's the definition of a dual-threat quarterback, strong enough to make every throw and fast enough to break off chunk plays on the ground. His arm is live, and he gets the ball out with a quick, compact release that allows him to deliver strikes outside the numbers. What makes him especially dangerous is his ability to extend plays: Williams evades pressure with ease but never drops his eyes, always scanning for opportunities downfield. Against Lovejoy, he put together one of the most balanced performances of the season, throwing for 268 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for 180 yards and another score in a 45–14 win.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ZiondreWilliams/status/1969492751021375553 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Still just a junior, Sampson has shown early maturity and consistency under center. He looks comfortable in the pocket, showing patience to let plays develop and the awareness to step up instead of drifting under pressure. His delivery is smooth, and he throws a catchable ball with impressive touch on vertical routes. When the play breaks down, Sampson is athletic enough to roll out and keep the offense moving, often delivering accurate throws on the run. With 781 passing yards and 8 touchdowns already on the board, he's proving himself to be a steady playmaker capable of leading sustained drives. He's a two sport athlete who excels on the baseball diamond.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/baron_sampson/status/1968102786933068274 </div></figure>   <p class="text-gray-700"><br></p>     <p class="text-gray-700">LD Bell's unbeaten start can be credited in large part to Harris and his dynamic presence at quarterback. He combines athleticism with polished mechanics, giving his team flexibility both through the air and on the ground. Harris throws with a quick release and generates plenty of velocity, making him effective in both short passing and intermediate routes. His footwork is sharp, which allows him to stay balanced and accurate even under pressure. Beyond his arm, Harris is a legitimate run threat, adding another layer to the offense and forcing defenses to account for him in multiple ways.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BraylonHarris27/status/1969591392960733370 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Richardson has been one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the area this season, completing passes at a 63% clip while racking up 868 yards and 12 touchdowns. He thrives in the pocket, where his feel for pressure allows him to slide, reset, and deliver without losing timing. His deep ball is a real weapon, he throws with excellent placement and touch, giving receivers a chance to win downfield. Richardson's quick release also helps him neutralize the rush, as he rarely holds onto the ball longer than necessary. His ability to balance efficiency with explosiveness has been a key reason for Royse City's undefeated start.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JamionRich7/status/1966934425238978785 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Loera has shown off a big arm early in his varsity career, capable of driving the football with velocity into tight windows. He's poised in muddy pockets, rarely flustered even when pressure is in his face. That composure allows him to maintain a solid base and keep his mechanics intact, which translates to consistent accuracy. Loera is also effective pushing the ball vertically, showing good touch on deep throws that drop into stride. Already at 1,011 passing yards and 7 touchdowns, he's proving to be a reliable playmaker who can generate explosive plays as well as sustain long drives.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/sam_loera2/status/1859241794778644715 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most dynamic young quarterbacks in the Metroplex, Edwards is equally dangerous with his arm and his legs. He has a quick release and throws with plenty of velocity, giving him confidence to attack vertically. His accuracy downfield is a weapon, but it's his running ability that separates him from most quarterbacks. Edwards has rare quickness and vision as a ball carrier, averaging 8 yards per carry while rushing for 474 yards and 7 touchdowns to go along with 730 yards and 4 passing scores. He's the type of player who can take over a game in multiple ways, forcing defenses into constant stress.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/DESHAWN_QB_PG/status/1961540381537103939 </div></figure>    <p>The DFW area continues to produce some of the most exciting young quarterback<br>talent in the state.
