<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*We have a great deal for those who still want to attend and compete in front of college coaches against the best players in the state. If you are interested in attending, please message Caleb Sisk (<a href="https://x.com/calebsisk_?s=21">@CalebSisk_</a>). There are plenty of perks that you don't want to miss. We are accepting all players in the classes 2026-2029. We hope to see you at Silverback Park in Atlanta, Georgia, from 9 AM to Noon on Saturday, February 7th, 2026.*</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The event is getting closer and closer, but it continues to look more promising. The QB class that we have is among the best that we will see when it comes to any event across the state. Here are five players in the QB room who will be competing as underrated prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1413263"],"_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-6976c41c6d99e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1413263' first='MJ' last='Fowler'] is very underrated, and he is someone who has shown time and time again that the sky is the limit down the line. In his film, you can tell that he is a younger guy, but he also has a lot of the physical traits you would want out of a young guy. This includes his arm talent. His downfield passes are through the roof, as he is past his time when it comes to the lobs he lets loose. Fowler is a quicker guy as well, which leads many to believe that he could turn some heads at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["622736"],"_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-6976c41c6da86"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">CJ Payne is one of my favorite players when it comes to throwing on the run. This is one of his better traits as a whole, and he is physically gifted. He is a 6-foot-4 frame, which is remarkable, and nothing short of that. Payne isn't ranked by our rankings team, but he will look to find his way into the rankings. Payne is one of the better players when it comes to throwing outside the numbers. He is a phenomenal athlete, and he will only get better. This will be a huge chance to watch the gifted athlete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2099683"],"_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-6976c41c6db36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Whitworth has a deep ball that glides through the air. He is one of the better signal callers in the state, and he will be ranked sooner than later. He has already had some good growth when it comes to this offseason, but it will only get better. Whitworth is slippery and smooth as a player. I believe he is one of the better players when it comes to running an offense. Franklin County has a good one and it will show come February 7th.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1732910"],"_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-6976c41c6dbe1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schmitt is the real deal when it comes to the state of Tennessee. He is well known for his talent and is one of the better players when it comes to the deep ball. He lets it fly, and there aren't many players better than Schmitt when it comes to that factor and aspect of the game. He led Rhea County to one of the better seasons when it comes to the program as a whole. Schmitt will be one of the standouts in this event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2098175"],"_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-6976c41c6dc90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Guinn is one of the better players when it comes to the event. He is one of the better players under pressure, and will be someone who will look to prove himself in the combine. We expect his combined scores to go well. The Union Grove athlete has a ton of talented traits, but with this event coming up he will have the best chance to prove himself ahead of the 2026 high school football season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
