<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The state of Georgia is one of the more competitive states in the nation, as the playoffs has officially started and Friday is the beginning of something major. That being as the Georgia High School scene will be progressing through their round one matchups. The state has a lot to like, but there are some QBs in this year's playoffs who genuinely could be impactful to the point their team wins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are five players that I believe could be major factors at the QB position in the first round of the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1558693"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69179b0e4832e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parson is becoming a true star at the high school level, as he has quickly solidified himself as a gunslinger who has all the potential in the world. He plays for a very good Rockmart team, which will be playing against South Atlanta. South Atlanta is a good enough team for the playoffs, but as a whole Rockmart has been tasked with played a lot of great teams. one of the teams being North Murray. Parson is young and sure can deliver a deep ball. He has a lot of skills, and is someone that I believe is near the top of the list when it comes to true impact, as he looks a lot older than what the classification confirms. This will be a game that will be highlighted.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1163339"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69179b0e483ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arguably the greatest Northwest QB of all time, as there have been many people who believe he can lead this Bruins team in a deep run. If that was to be the case the Bruins will need a little bit of help from their skill positions. They will be tasked with playing a tough North Oconee team, which is a team that Northwest could struggle against, but also could defeat without a doubt. Northwest is at its best when Nuckolls can scramble, but his compuser will be key. Nuckolls has never failed to be composed in a game, and I don't believe that will be a factor in round one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["409989"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69179b0e48406"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of my favorite QBs in the state of Georgia as a whole. This is because he is a leader at a very young age, and the game comes to him easily, as he is someone who has been able to lead his team all the way in the past. They will be tasked with attempting this again, and it is very possible, as their first-round matchup will tell you everything you need to know about Hawkins. Hawkins and the Calhoun squad will be against Lumpkin County. Calhoun has the chance to be one of the better teams in the state when it is all said and done, and a lot of thanks would be given to their star QB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["481378"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69179b0e4845a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">They don't call [player_tooltip player_id='481378' first='Jayce' last='Johnson'] "juice" for no reason. Johnson is a very talented athlete, who has a major arm and a great frame to be just a 2027 athlete. He has quickly become one of the better players in the nation, and that is because of his quick delivery. He has become one of the better quick game QBs in the state, and has a lot of positive traits. He is a huge reason that Lowndes has the chance to compete at the level that they have been and will be. I believe he is someone who will be valued very highly come next season, but until then Johnson will quickly be noted as a possible reason for any playoff success in the first week of the postseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["969646"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69179b0e484af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Woods is easily one of the better QBs in the nation, not just the state. He is the perfect QB for this list, as the Dalton Catamounts have improved heavily, but they also have a lot of things to improve upon. They didn't win a game last season, and they are now in position to pull off the biggest upset in the playoffs as a whole. Woods has the potential to do that, as Woods is arguably the most improved player in the nation, and a top QB in the state. He is the leader for these Catamounts, which is surrounded by some talented pieces, and one of my favorite playcallers in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The state of Georgia is one of the more competitive states in the nation, as the playoffs has officially started and Friday is the beginning of something major.
