Offseason Report: 2028 QBs Moving Up the Chart

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1570779' first='Liam' last='Kearney'] | 6'2” 165 | Glenbrook South</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kearney brings a projectable 6'2” frame with room to add significant mass. He flashes natural arm talent but will benefit from added lower-body strength to improve velocity and consistency. This offseason should center around weight gain and mechanical efficiency. If the physical development tracks, the upside is there for him to make a jump within the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1893778' first='Braxton' last='Fausett'] | 6'1” 155 | Harlem</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fausett is a developmental passer with clear room to grow physically. At 155 pounds, strength gains will directly impact durability and ball drive. He shows encouraging touch in the short and intermediate game. As he adds size and improves pocket command, he becomes a more complete prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1701753' first='Hunter' last='Hochbaum'] | 6'1” 170 | Breese Mater Dei</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hochbaum has a solid base frame and plays with poise. Continued offseason work on footwork and pocket mobility will be key. He does a good job operating within structure, and if he improves arm strength through physical development, he has the tools to elevate his profile over the next cycle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1688137' first='Kierre' last='Wilson'] | 6'2” 170 | St. Patrick</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson offers length and a clean throwing motion. At 6'2”, he already has the build colleges like, but adding 15–20 pounds of functional strength will be important. The offseason focus should be on timing, anticipation, and consistency in lower-body mechanics. There is developmental upside here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140377' first='Eli' last='Carder'] | 6'0” 160 | Richwoods</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carder brings solid mobility and a workable frame. Improving overall strength and tightening ball placement will determine how quickly he climbs. He has traits that translate to spread concepts, and offseason development in leadership and command will be important for his trajectory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2087227' first='Ryan' last='Plahm'] | 5'10” 165 | Lemont</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Plahm is more compact in build but shows competitive traits. For him, refinement and efficiency are critical. Improving processing speed, decision-making under pressure, and throwing consistency will allow him to maximize his tools. A strong offseason in skill development could position him for a jump.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
