Newly Ranked QB In The 2027 Indiana Class

We're highlighting a group of talented quarterbacks in the 2027 class who are new to the rankings and showcased what they can do last fall.    Jarrell is coming off his first full season as the starter, and he had an outstanding year all things considered. He's comfortable in the pocket and can get through his reads. He's got a good frame that helps him see the entire field. He's got a high release that doesn't get batted down. He'll get the ball out on time and he's fairly accurate. He's got nice touch to his intermediate throws and won't put the ball in harm's way. He's then a true dual-threat QB who can take off and expose the defense if they aren't reading their keys. In year 1 at the helm, he completed 65% of his throws for 1644 yards, 13 TDs to only 3 INT, and then added 842 yards and 14 more TDs with his legs. He's got the tools, looked the part, and seems like he is just hitting his stride.     Ward is a 3-year starter for Danville and will be going into year 4, starting yet again. He's had his ups and downs throughout the years, but has always come out better from those moments. He's best when he's on the move, rolling out of the pocket. He can throw on the run and then is a good enough athlete to take off and make something happen with his legs. He'll square his shoulders and make an accurate throw. He really started to use his legs more last season and has a good understanding of when to take off. To this point in his career, he's got 3284 passing yards on 57% completion, 47 TDs through the air, and another 250 yards and 12 TDs with his legs.     Hutchins got his first few starts this year and had flashes and looked comfortable in the pocket. He's got a good release and smooth throwing motion. He was fairly accurate and knew to lead his guys down the field. He's willing to stand in the pocket and deliver the ball with pressure coming right in his face. He completed 60% of his throws for 772 yards and threw his first 3 TDs at the Varsity level. He trusts his receivers downfield and gives them chances. I'd like to see him protect the ball better moving forward, but I appreciate guys who are willing to stand in there and keep firing without letting a bad moment get in their head.     Harris is a dynamic athlete who is learning the Quarterback position. They just want the ball in his hands as much as possible, because he's a playmaker. Good things happen when he touches the ball. He's developing in the passing game and can make some good throws. He's got a good sense of pressure in the pocket and will escape and do some damage with his legs. If he takes off, he's hard to catch and can turn something into nothing. He started a handful of games and completed 53% of his throws for 354 yards and 3 TDs while adding another 301 yards and 3 TDs on the ground.
