7v7Elite: Lake City — Top QB Performers

The 7v7Elite stop in Lake City provided another strong look at quarterback development across multiple classes, featuring everything from established high school starters to emerging middle school prospects already competing up in age groups.    Xavier Collins | 2027 | Columbia | @XavierCollinsss   (386 Elite)   First time seeing Collins live, and he checked plenty of boxes immediately. Built at a solid 6-2, 195 pounds, he physically can get it done in Friday night football, but what stood out most was the combination of mechanics and arm talent in a competitive setting. Delivered with confidence throughout Sunday play and ultimately stole the show, earning Offensive MVP honors. A strong momentum builder heading into spring evaluation season.   John Scheurer | 2030 | @ScheurerJohn15   (Team Takeoff)   The young lefty threw with impressive velocity all weekend, consistently delivering tight spirals and showing comfort operating within structure. Helped lead TeamTakeoff to a 15U championship while displaying poise beyond his age, good enough for MVP honors. Strong chemistry with multiple receivers and calm decision-making made this an encouraging performance ahead of his first high school spring period.   Cy Cubbege | 2028 | Bradford | @CyCubbedgeQB   (Paced Labor 15U)   One of the bigger risers from the weekend. The 6-2 left-handed passer already brings an appealing frame, but it's the coordination between footwork, mechanics, and arm strength that stands out. Nearly guided his team to a 15U title while flashing advanced timing and confidence. With existing Friday night experience, Cubbege looks poised for a potential jump this spring.   [player_tooltip player_id='2098090' first='Zion' last='Benn'] | 2029 | Dunnellon | @zionqb1   (Clutch Performance)   A fast-rising freshman who immediately caught attention. Benn showed strong timing, accuracy, and natural confidence throughout the weekend. Reads developed quickly, and he consistently knew where to go with the football. A legitimate dual-threat option who impacts games with both arm talent and athleticism. Early signs point toward a quarterback with significant long-term upside.   Trent Washington | Cocoa | @TrentonWQB   (24K)   Washington entered the offseason with growing buzz and showed flashes of why. Athletic traits and natural confidence stood out, especially when extending plays. Continued development in timing and receiver chemistry will be key this spring, but the tools and upside make him an intriguing name to monitor moving forward.   Owen Wolfe | 2031 | @OwenWolfeQB16   (St. Johns Cobras)   One of the more impressive young prospects at the event. Wolfe already carries a 6-1 frame at a very early stage, but it was the accuracy and composure that truly stood out. Consistently delivered precise throws even when defenses anticipated the read. Displayed leadership, mechanics, and advanced ball placement — exactly the type of early prospect 7v7 settings help identify.   [player_tooltip player_id='1315769' first='Justice' last='Turpin'] | Episcopal Jacksonville | @JusticeTurpin   (Paced Labor 15U)   Turpin looked the part regardless of age division. A physically developed young quarterback with smooth mechanics and strong ball placement. Showed impressive touch late in play clocks, fitting throws into tight windows with confidence. One of the more polished overall passers seen throughout the weekend.   Lamar Thomas Jr | 2029 | Valdosta | @LamarthomasJr   (Top Flight)   Thomas flashed high upside traits throughout the weekend. Arm talent showed promise, but his athleticism as a runner will add another dimension to his game. Stout build, quick acceleration, and toughness through contact make him dangerous when plays break down. A varsity breakout — and recruiting attention — feels inevitable.   [player_tooltip player_id='1697120' first='Jarelle' last='Sims'] | 2027 | Sandalwood | @relles1ms   Sims continues stacking productive showings on the circuit. Displayed improved timing with receivers and enough arm strength to challenge defenses vertically. Each evaluation shows steady growth across multiple areas of his game. A recent ECU offer reflects his trajectory, and spring football will be an important proving period.   Jackson Visconti | 2026 | Yulee | @JacksonVisconti   (St. Johns Cobras)   Put together a solid and efficient weekend performance. Showed consistent accuracy and sound decision-making throughout competition. Entering a key offseason as a senior where continued development and exposure will be important.   Caleb Sanford | 2027 | Forest | @caleb_Sanford1   (352 Reapers)   Sanford delivered one of the better Sunday performances of the weekend. He relies on timing, confidence, and improved pocket presence. Nearly guided his team into championship contention while showing noticeable growth in accuracy and command. Trending toward a strong senior campaign.   Nicholas Lora | 2029 | Lake Nona | @nick_lora0   (C.O.D.E.)   Already standing around 6-2, Lora brings intriguing physical upside. Throws a clean, catchable football and continues developing processing speed against faster defenses. Competing within a strong program environment should accelerate growth as timing and decision-making continue to improve.   Ethan Caines | 2030 | @EthanCainesEZ6   (Relentless Pursuit)   A confident young passer with encouraging physical tools. Brings size and developing arm strength at 6-3, 205 pounds while showing steady progression throughout the weekend. Spring practice reps will be important for refining consistency and understanding defensive looks at the next level of competition.   Jehan Price | 2030 | @JP312__   (MFTK Spartans)   One of the more enjoyable quarterbacks to watch. Price consistently delivered accurate throws while demonstrating strong awareness within the offense. Efficient decision-making and confidence allowed him to keep drives moving throughout the weekend.   Deacon McMillen | 2030 | IG: deaconmcmillen11   (352 Reapers)   Showed strong ball placement and improving timing across multiple games. A productive weekend that highlighted developmental progress and growing comfort operating within rhythm.   Haiden Dees | 2028 | @Haiden_Dees   Flashed solid arm strength and the ability to deliver quality throws throughout the event. Still developing consistency, but the tools are present and progression remains noticeable.   Daeveon Williams | 2028 | @DaeveonWil38185   Williams turned in a steady showing as a rhythm passer who operated comfortably within structure. Displayed encouraging composure and projects as a quarterback trending toward a larger offensive role moving forward.   Grayson Walker | IG: 386 Elite   (386 Elite)   Walker turned in one of the top quarterback performances of the weekend regardless of age group, showcasing solid footwork and a clean, consistent ball. His strong showing earned him Offensive MVP honors and highlighted the upside he brings moving forward.   [player_tooltip player_id='2103610' first='Richard' last='Roundtree Jr'] | QB | 2028 | Hawthorne | @QB1Richard   One of the more impressive QBs to watch this offseason, Roundtree continues to show why his name keeps gaining traction. A strong-armed passer with athleticism and natural leadership traits, he already carries himself like a veteran while leading his high school program. He's closing in on a pivotal spring period with significant momentum.
