Leading the Brunswick Pirates to a strong 9-2 record, Moore has thrown for 2,639 yards so far this season with 29 touchdown passes. He's also shown some mobility and playmaking ability with his legs, running for 332 yards and four scores on the ground. He's coming off a dominant game in round one where he threw for 363 yards and five touchdowns in a big 78-30 win over Winder-Barrow. Moore continues to be one of the more underrated quarterbacks in the state and is hoping to lead the Pirates to a big win over mighty Gainesville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089005"],"_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-691b70d1a1f36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the better 2026 quarterbacks across the state, Johnson is a big-time passer from South Georgia leading one of the very best programs across the state. Johnson has led Thomas County Central to a dominant 11-0 record and has been impressive week after week all season long. He's thrown for just under 2,000 yards during his senior season with 31 touchdowns. Against Woodstock in week one, Johnson threw for 179 yards and three touchdowns during their convincing 73-14 win. The Yellow Jackets have scored at least 40 points in every game but two and Johnson has them rolling heading into a big round two matchup against Villa Rica.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["991472"],"_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-691b70d1a1f80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more productive young quarterbacks across Middle Georgia, Maxwell is having a terrific sophomore season for the Bears and has put up some really impressive numbers so far. The promising passer from Houston County has been really effective through the air and has thrown for 2,326 yards and 25 touchdowns, leading the Bears to a current 10-1 record. He brings a good frame, natural arm talent, and shows impressive leadership skills for someone his age. He'll likely see a bump in the next 2028 Prep Redzone rankings and he'll hope to air it out in a big way during Houston County's round two game against Rome.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1544909"],"_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-691b70d1a1fc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more slept-on quarterbacks in the state right now, Campbell is a multi-sport standout with a big arm and a clutch gene. He plays his best when it matters most and he's been really impressive all season long during his giant junior season. He stands firm in the pocket, can deliver a strong ball down the field, and has shown easy Power Four potential this season. Ranked as the No. 10 QB prospect in the state for the 2027 class, the Newnan gunslinger has thrown for an impressive 2,352 yards and 23 touchdowns this season. In a comfortable round one win over New Manchester, Campbell threw for 170 yards and two touchdowns during their 48-22 victory. He'll hope to play well again when Newnan takes on Sequoyah.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1565843"],"_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-691b70d1a2002"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A senior quarterback to keep a close eye on this weekend from Cherokee County, Martin has played efficient, winning football all season long this year for a really strong Sequoyah team. They love to run the ball with one of the best backs in the state, but Martin also has the ability to make plays through the air. He's safe with the football but still has enough arm talent to make a big throw when he needs to. He's thrown for 1,552 yards and 16 touchdowns while also helping out in the run game. Martin has led the offense to at least 30 points in every game but two this season and is coming off a strong round one win over Creekview. Look for Martin to be at his best when Sequoyah plays Newnan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
