Class 6A Top QBs to Watch in 2026

Today, we conclude our lists of the top QBs in Minnesota to watch this upcoming season by rounding out in Class 6A, boasting several highly promising and productive QBs that have proven well playing in the toughest conference in the state to earn high spots among our rankings list. We reveal 7 QBs across Class 6A MN that should be on your radar in 2026!    [player_tooltip player_id='1194605' first='[player_tooltip player_id='1194604' first='Jett' last='']' last='Feeney'] has been spectacular for Moorhead and undeniably deserving of the #1 QB ranking for this upcoming senior class. Feeney finished with 2221 passing yards, 27 TDs, and only 2 INTs in 8 games while rushing for 215 yards and 5 TDs. The difference is evident of how this offense operates without Feeney in the lineup, as they went 1-4 without Feeney while recovering from a shoulder injury, compared to the 7-1 record they had with him in the lineup. Feeney is as good of a QB as you'd want out, operating smoothly in the pocket through quick progressions and tight windows over the middle, showing effortless precision and power on his throws, and moving well around the pocket to make throws on the run. With 5 D1 offers already, including from Minnesota and Wyoming, Feeney will undoubtedly become a great starter at the next level, and he will to conclude his high school run with a state championship title after coming just short last season.     Hopkins' offense has some impressive firepower, and the future is bright for the Royals thanks largely in part to their coveted star under Center in [player_tooltip player_id='1651164' first='Tre' last='Moore']. Moore finished with 1556 passing yards, 15 TDs, and 4 INTs while adding 522 rushing yards (4.9 YPC) and 7 rushing TDs. A spectacular improviser who flashes similar athleticism to that of his older brother and top receiver Jayden, Tre is fearless as a deep passer, showing impressive touch and placement on long-range passes, and that mobility has made him very unpredictable and difficult to contain. Moore's leadership for Hopkins' offense could help spark a breakthrough for a Royals' team that has struggled largely over the last 15 years, and after jumping from 1-9 to 4-5 in 2025, the ceiling is high for the Royals' going forward.     Anoka struggled to a winless record in 2025 largely due to porous struggles on the defense, but the offense played brilliantly with [player_tooltip player_id='1120517' first='Blake' last='Sieben'] finishing as one of the most productive QBs in the state. Sieben threw for 1915 yards, 16 TDs, and 8 INTs while rushing for 610 yards (6.3 YPC) and 8 rushing TDs. Sieben is an intriguing athlete, with 4.7 40 yard speed, Sieben is dangerous when he tucks the ball and keeps it himself, as he is able to break away from the defense with fair ease. Sieben has a great arm and shows tremendous playmaking ability on the run, utilizing his scrambling ability to roll out while keeping his eyes down the field and dropping a deep shot into the receiver's arms in stride. Sieben is a talented QB for a losing team that could spark a major turnaround for the Tornadoes in his senior season.     Jameson Niska may have been the most impressive dual-threat QB within the 6A conference last season, and he was the centerpiece of Blaine's offense, accounting for over 70% of the team's 3371 total offensive yards. Niska threw for 1221 yards, 8 TDs, and 7 INTs while rushing for 1153 yards (6.7 YPC) and 14 TDs. Niska is a flashy runner who is most dangerous on the QB draw, utilizing quick stop-and-start acceleration, sharp footwork, and impressive speed to create big plays on the ground. A southpaw QB, Niska did show plenty of strong moments passing on his tape, showing good deep placement on seams hitting his targets in stride, and he's not afraid to take a hit throwing the ball. Niska is an exciting playmaker that shouldn't be overlooked among the top QBs within the conference as he enters his senior season.     The focus of Minnetonka's offense has largely been on [player_tooltip player_id='591990' first='Caleb' last='Francois'], but he yielded his starting QB duties last season to [player_tooltip player_id='1029336' first='Caden' last='Gutzmer'], who showed more than capable of leading the Skippers' passing game. Gutzmer completed over 63% of his passes for 1147 yards, 10 TDs, and no picks while adding 176 rushing yards and a rushing TD. Gutzmer showcased stronger levels of accuracy, quick-scan ability, and poise in the pocket compared to Francois at QB, with his strong leadership under Center perfectly balancing out an explosive run attack. With Francois graduating this offseason, Gutzmer's role leading the offense will expand greatly and he will look to help guide the Skippers to another deep run to potentially claim the 5A title in his senior season.     Wayzata struggled to a 1-8 record in 2025, but [player_tooltip player_id='725721' first='Thor' last='Soukup'] thrived as a strong leader for the Trojans' offense. Soukup threw for 1043 yards, 12 TDs, and 6 INTs while rushing for 137 yards and 3 TDs. Since merging into the varsity lineup during his sophomore year, Soukup continues to grow more comfortable in command of the offense, standing out already with his potent frame and athleticism for the position as well as his big arm, Soukup also showed improvement with his ball placement and timing as the season went on. Soukup has all the makings of becoming a great Pro-style QB at the next level, and he's bound to receive several D1 offers coming his way very soon.     Rounding off this list is [player_tooltip player_id='1633909' first='Miles' last='Felton'], another strong, athletic QB who flashes as a dual-threat under Center. Felton threw for 897 yards, 6 TDs, and 2 INTs while rushing for 619 yards (5.1 YPC) and 9 rushing TDs. There's no doubt that Felton's strengths lie heavily on his scrambling ability, being able to get out of the pocket when he can't find anyone down the field and create a big play in the open field, using his quick change of direction and flashy speed to outrun his opponents. His passing mechanics at times were inconsistent, but he flashes as a southpaw with a solid arm that excelled in the quick-to-medium passing game along with glimpses of power and great placement on his deeper throws that could be honed this offseason. Listed as a LB prospect, Felton already holds 2 D1 offers from North Dakota and NDSU, but with improvement over the offseason, he could garner some serious attention as a QB prospect entering next offseason.
