7v7Elite: Notable Top QB Performers Made Noise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The offseason 7v7 circuit continues to give an early look at quarterback development across the state, and this weekend's 7v7Elite Central Florida event featured a mix of rising prospects, proven producers, and young signal callers beginning to establish their identity heading into spring ball.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Noah Patton | 2028 | Venice | @Noah1Patton</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Patton checked plenty of boxes seeing him live for the first time. At a legit 6-3, he brings good size, and the ball jumps off his hand with noticeable velocity. Showed consistent ball placement throughout the weekend and looked comfortable pushing throws outside the numbers. The recent Venice transfer looks positioned for a strong developmental climb heading toward spring practices.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1941045' first='Michael' last='Pyne'] | 2028 | Alonso | @MichaelPyne2028</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pyne continues reinforcing his status as one of Florida's top 2028 quarterbacks.
