This class features a mix of efficient passers, dynamic dual-threat playmakers, and high-upside arms who are starting to separate themselves through production, poise, and playmaking ability. Several of these young quarterbacks have already put up impressive numbers, showing the ability to move offenses, protect the football, and deliver in scoring situations. What stands out most is the diversity in their skill sets — some thrive in structured systems with rhythm and accuracy, while others create explosive plays with their legs or off-script ability. As they continue to grow physically and gain experience, this 2028 group has the potential to develop into a strong quarterback class with multiple players capable of drawing early college attention in the coming years. Some already have offers , and some will get offers!    Carter, a 4-star QB, shows on film that he's much more than just a dual-threat he's a polished passer who can make every throw on the field. With over 2,000 passing yards and a 70% completion rate, his accuracy stands out immediately. He consistently delivers a catchable ball, whether it's quick game concepts, intermediate routes over the middle, or deep shots downfield. He throws with great touch on fades and corner routes, and you'll see him layer the ball perfectly over linebackers while keeping it away from safeties.   What really pops is his ability to throw on the move. He stays composed outside the pocket and keeps his eyes downfield, making accurate throws even when rolling out or under pressure. He's comfortable attacking tight windows and doesn't hesitate to trust his arm, showing confidence and anticipation getting the ball out before receivers fully break open.   His arm strength allows him to stretch the field, but it's his timing and ball placement that separate him. He leads receivers into space, giving them room to create after the catch, and rarely puts the ball in harm's way. When you combine that with his 800 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground, defenses are constantly under stress trying to contain him.   With offers from Arkansas, Arizona State, Baylor, Michigan, Tennessee and more, it's clear programs see the same thing on film — a complete quarterback who can win from the pocket or take over with his legs.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Zingelmann2028/status/1999535849055060231?s=20 </div></figure>    aines is a 3-star quarterback who brings a clear dual-threat impact every time he steps on the field. With 2,016 passing yards and 22 passing touchdowns, he shows he can run an offense and finish drives through the air, while also adding 542 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns that highlight how dangerous he is when the play breaks down.   As a passer, he shows confidence attacking downfield and isn't afraid to push the ball vertically when he sees one-on-one matchups. He can hit intermediate routes in rhythm and shows flashes of good ball placement when he's comfortable in the pocket. The 62% completion rate (110/177) shows there's still room for consistency, but the upside is there in how he can distribute the ball and generate explosive plays.   His mobility is what truly elevates his game. Gaines is very mobile and can extend plays with his legs, keeping defenses stressed when protection breaks down. He has legitimate “wheels,” turning scrambles into chunk gains and making defenders miss in space. That ability forces defenses to stay honest and opens up opportunities in the passing game.   With offers from Vanderbilt, TCU, Tennessee, Baylor, and Arizona, it's clear college programs see the athletic upside and playmaking ability. Gaines projects as a quarterback with real developmental potential — a mobile threat who can create off script and grow as a consistent passer      Trey is a true dual-threat quarterback who puts constant pressure on defenses with both his arm and his legs. Throwing for 4,042 yards with 38 touchdowns and only 7 interceptions, he shows he can operate at a high level as a passer while taking care of the football. The production speaks to his ability to stay composed in the pocket, read defenses, and deliver in high-leverage moments without forcing mistakes.   On film, Trey looks comfortable attacking all three levels of the field. He can push the ball vertically when the defense gives him space, but he's just as effective working the intermediate game and taking what's available underneath. His decision-making stands out — he rarely puts the ball in harm's way, which is backed up by his low interception total compared to his touchdown production.   What takes his game to another level is his rushing ability. With 1,764 rushing yards, he's a legitimate run threat every time the play breaks down or a lane opens up. He has the vision to find creases, the acceleration to hit them quickly, and the speed to turn routine plays into explosive gains. Defenses have to account for him as a runner on every snap, which creates extra stress in both designed runs and scramble situations.   With offers from SMU, TCU, North Texas, UTEP, and Texas State, it's clear college programs see his dual-threat value and upside as a playmaker. Trey is the type of quarterback who can control a game in multiple ways and consistently put his offense in position to win.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/itsTreyW3/status/2015518985261924671?s=20 </div></figure>    Jaxon is a high-level passing quarterback who has completely taken over games through the air, setting school records with 3,627 passing yards and 51 passing touchdowns. Completing 227 of 341 passes (67%), he shows strong efficiency and consistency, operating the offense with control and confidence. His production speaks for itself — he's one of the top statistical passers in the nation for the class of 2028, ranking 1st in passing touchdowns and 3rd in passing yards.   On film, Jaxon shows he knows how to attack a defense through the air. He reads coverages well and does a great job identifying matchups before the snap. Once the ball is snapped, he works through progressions and delivers the ball on time, especially in the intermediate and red zone areas where he does most of his damage. He's comfortable pushing the ball vertically and doesn't hesitate to take calculated shots when defenses are out of position.   What stands out is his ability to stay efficient while still being aggressive. He doesn't just check the ball down — he actively looks to stress defenses and create explosive plays. His timing and ball placement allow receivers to play fast and gain yards after the catch.   He also adds value on the ground with 361 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns, showing he can extend plays and finish drives when things break down.   With offers from SMU, UAB, UTSA, and Texas Tech, it's clear college programs see his arm talent and ability to operate an offense at a high level. Jaxon projects as a quarterback who can consistently attack defenses vertically and control the game through the air.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaxonSchad15/status/2005348465501761937?s=20 </div></figure>    Ben is a productive quarterback coming off a strong 2025 season in Sammamish, WA, and now transferring to Byron Nelson for the 2026 season, where his game is set to take another step forward. Over 11 games, he posted 2,294 passing yards (208 per game), a 69% completion rate, and 23 total touchdowns, showing a steady, efficient passer who consistently moved the offense.   As a passer, Ben is highly efficient and plays with strong rhythm and control. The 69% completion rate reflects his ability to stay accurate and make the routine plays consistently, limiting mistakes and keeping drives alive. He operates well within structure, showing good pre-snap awareness and quick decision-making once the ball is snapped. He understands when to get the ball out on time and when to take what the defense is giving him.   On film, Ben shows solid command of the short and intermediate passing game, where he's at his best distributing the ball and keeping the offense on schedule. He does a good job reading leverage and finding the open man, especially in timing-based concepts where anticipation matters. When protection holds, he's capable of stacking completions and sustaining long drives.   Now heading into Byron Nelson for 2026, the transfer gives him a chance to compete at a higher level and further sharpen his development against stronger competition. With interest from programs like Maryland, North Texas, UTEP, and others, college coaches see a quarterback who is consistent, composed, and capable of running an offense efficiently while continuing to grow as a passer.      Hudson is a flat out ball spinner who brings real arm talent and confidence to the quarterback position. With offers from Houston, Baylor, SMU, TCU, and UTSA, college programs clearly see his ability to create explosive plays and stress defenses through the air.   On film, Hudson shows he can drive the football with velocity and attack all levels of the field. He's comfortable pushing the ball vertically and isn't shy about fitting throws into tight windows when the matchup is there. When he gets in rhythm, he can heat up quickly and put pressure on secondaries with his ability to generate chunk plays.   What stands out most is how naturally he spins it the ball comes out clean and with zip, and he plays with a confident, aggressive mindset. He trusts his arm and is willing to challenge defenders, which makes him a constant big play threat.   Looking ahead, Hudson will have a full-time position in 2026 and is ready to take over for the Dragons. With his arm talent and playmaking ability, he's in position to step into a leadership role and become a central piece of the offense moving forward.      Carter is entering 2026 poised for a full-time leadership role and ready to take over as the Wildcat quarterback. After showing consistent production and flashes of high-level play, he steps into the new season with confidence, experience, and the tools to run the offense at a higher level.   On film, Carter stands out for his clean mechanics and controlled approach in the pocket. He delivers the ball with a compact, repeatable motion and maintains balance through his throws, which helps him stay accurate to all levels of the field. Whether it's quick-game timing routes or deeper concepts downfield, he consistently puts the ball in a position where his receivers can make plays.   His pocket presence is another key part of his game. Carter stays composed under pressure, keeps his eyes downfield, and shows the ability to slide or step into throws without panicking. He doesn't drift unnecessarily, which allows him to stay efficient and execute the offense even when the protection breaks down.   Heading into a full 2026 season as the expected leader of the Wildcat offense, Carter has a real opportunity to take a major step forward. With offers from Houston, UTSA, and Baylor, college programs are already seeing a quarterback who combines mechanics, poise, and steady decision-making — now with a chance to elevate his game as a full-time star      Ragan is already putting together a strong early résumé with 2,669 passing yards, 37 touchdowns, and only 2 interceptions on 147-of-214 passing (.687%). Those numbers show a young quarterback who is both highly productive and extremely efficient, especially for his age and stage of development.   On film, Ragan shows advanced decision-making for a 2028 prospect. The low interception total stands out immediately he takes care of the football, rarely forces throws, and consistently chooses the right option within the structure of the offense. He operates with good rhythm, gets the ball out on time, and keeps drives moving by staying consistent in the short and intermediate passing game.   What also stands out is his production efficiency. Nearly 3,000 yards with a high completion rate shows he's not just checking the ball down he's finding ways to generate real offense and score at a high level. The 37 touchdown passes highlight his ability to finish drives and execute in the red zone.      Camren is a two-year starter who has already built an impressive body of work heading into his junior season. In just 16 career games, he's totaled 5,654 yards and 73 touchdowns, showing consistent production and the ability to lead an offense at a high level.   On film, Camren stands out as a confident playmaker who understands how to move the ball and finish drives. He consistently finds ways to generate offense, whether it's pushing the ball downfield, working efficiently in the intermediate game, or capitalizing in the red zone. His production reflects a quarterback who is comfortable taking command of the offense and delivering results.   What also stands out is his consistency over a short span of starts. Putting up those kinds of numbers in just 16 games shows he's not just having one big stretch — he's been a steady producer since stepping into the starting role. He plays with confidence, trusts his reads, and shows the ability to keep the offense operating at a high level.

He plays with good rhythm, especially in quick-game concepts where timing and anticipation are key. The ball comes out clean and on time, and when his feet are set, he's accurate at the short and intermediate levels, consistently putting his receivers in a position to make plays.   One of the more noticeable traits on film is his poise under pressure. When the pocket starts to collapse, Turner doesn't immediately drop his eyes or panic. Instead, he keeps his vision downfield, slides within the pocket, resets his base, and looks to deliver the football. That ability to stay composed allows him to extend plays mentally as well as physically, keeping the offense functional even when things break down.   As he transitions from Nebraska to Melissa High School, it's a key step in his development and exposure. He finished with 1,239 passing yards (11.1 YPC), going 107-of-190 (56%) with 10 passing touchdowns and 15 total touchdowns. The production shows a quarterback who can move the ball and contribute to scoring drives while still continuing to grow into his role as a passer.   Heading into his new environment, Turner has an opportunity to take a step forward in consistency and efficiency. With his poise, rhythm passing, and ability to operate within structure, he brings a solid foundation to build on as he settles into Melissa's system.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/turnerwilkie5/status/1987554394565480692?s=20 </div></figure>    Matt stands out on film for how calm and composed he is in the pocket. He doesn't get sped up by pressure or the moment — instead, he keeps a steady base, stays balanced, and goes through his reads with control. That poise allows him to operate the offense efficiently and stay on schedule even when the pocket gets crowded.   What really pops is his ability to make tight-window throws. Matt trusts his arm and isn't afraid to fit the ball into small spaces between defenders. He shows good timing and anticipation, often throwing before the receiver is fully open, which helps him beat coverage and create completions in high-difficulty situations.   He also shows good pocket movement without losing his throwing posture. When pressure arrives, he's capable of subtle climbs or slides to buy an extra second, and he keeps his eyes downfield the entire time. That trait separates him from quarterbacks who tend to drift or panic — Matt stays disciplined and looks to make a play rather than escape prematurely.      Corbin is a productive quarterback who has shown consistent ability to move the offense and finish drives. With 2,211 passing yards and 28 touchdowns, he has proven he can generate steady production and put points on the board throughout the season.

When he gets comfortable, he's capable of stacking completions and moving the offense down the field.      Kolten is a 6'3” quarterback who brings ideal size to the position and shows the physical tools that college programs look for in a long-term passer. With his frame, he has the ability to see over the line of scrimmage, work the middle of the field, and operate comfortably within the pocket.   On film, Kolten shows a quarterback who can function as a steady operator of the offense. His size allows him to stand tall under pressure and deliver the football with a clean platform. He has the potential to develop into a strong pocket passer who can attack all three levels of the field as he continues to grow in experience and consistency.

When he gets into rhythm, he's capable of stacking completions and sustaining drives.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/coop_griffin/status/2001081392994652294?s=20 </div></figure>    Collin is a quarterback who operates in a Wing-T offense and understands how to function within a system that demands discipline, decision-making, and execution. In this style of offense, he plays a key role in managing the run game, executing fakes, and making quick, efficient decisions that keep the defense off balance.   On film, Collin shows strong fundamentals in a structured system. He handles play-action well, carries out his fakes with consistency, and helps set the tone for the offense by staying patient and composed. Even though the Wing-T doesn't always ask him to throw the ball 40 times a game, he shows he can deliver when called upon, especially on designed shots off run action.      Alex is a quarterback that leaves a strong impression in a 7-on-7 setting, and getting to see him a month ago gave a clear look at how he operates in a faster, more pass-heavy environment. Even without the run game, he showed he can adjust and compete within structure against live competition.   On film and in that 7-on-7 setting, Alex shows solid timing and awareness. He's comfortable distributing the ball and getting it out quickly, especially on rhythm throws where he can stay in sync with his receivers. He doesn't try to do too much — instead, he plays within the offense and focuses on keeping drives moving. Alex growth is there , cant wait to see what he has to show in 2026.     Jackson is a 6'4” quarterback with a strong arm who immediately stands out because of his physical tools and natural upside at the position. His frame gives him ideal size to see over defenses, work from the pocket, and operate comfortably against pressure.   On tape, Jackson shows the ability to drive the football with velocity and push the ball downfield when opportunities open up. His arm strength allows him to attack all three levels of the field, especially on vertical concepts and intermediate windows where he can fit throws into tight coverage. When he's in rhythm, he can stretch a defense and create explosive plays with a single throw.   At 6'4”, he also has the potential to develop into a strong pocket passer as he continues to refine his consistency and footwork. As he gains more experience, his combination of size and arm talent gives him a high ceiling and makes him a quarterback worth tracking closely moving forward.      Kaden is a very mobile quarterback who knows how to make things happen when plays break down. Even in a limited sample of 6 games, he showed he can impact the game with his athleticism and playmaking ability, turning broken situations into positive gains and keeping drives alive.   On tape, Kaden's mobility stands out immediately. He's quick to escape pressure, stays alert when the pocket collapses, and is always looking to extend the play rather than just take a sack. That ability forces defenses to stay disciplined, because he can take off and pick up yards at any moment.   Even with limited action, he showed flashes of being able to operate the offense and create momentum when needed. Whether it was improvising outside the pocket or picking up yards on the ground, he consistently found ways to “make it happen” when the play didn't go as designed.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/kaden_copelin/status/2007090331267781104?s=20 </div></figure>    Zac is a 6'5” quarterback who immediately stands out on tape because he just looks different physically and stylistically at the position. His frame gives him a clear advantage — he can see the field over defenders, operate comfortably in the pocket, and deliver the football without having to rush his process.   On tape, Zac shows a calm presence and natural feel for the position. He doesn't look sped up by pressure, and his size allows him to stay composed even when the pocket gets tight. He plays with a controlled approach, keeping his base steady and working through reads without panicking.   What really stands out is how his length and size translate into effortless throwing lanes. He can generate solid velocity without overexerting his motion, and he has the ability to make throws from different arm angles when needed. That combination makes him a difficult quarterback to defend when he's in rhythm.      Hagen is a quarterback who brings steady command and real production to the offense, consistently putting his team in position to win through efficient passing and smart decision-making. With 2,344 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and a 260+ yards-per-game average, he's not just putting up numbers — he's sustaining offense at a high level week after week.   What stands out most is how naturally he runs the offense without forcing unnecessary mistakes. He plays with a controlled mindset, understanding when to take what the defense gives him and when to push for more. That balance shows up in how he keeps drives alive, avoids negative plays, and turns manageable situations into scoring opportunities.      Holt is a dual-threat quarterback who can impact the game in multiple ways, but what really adds another level to his game is his ability to push the ball downfield and create explosive plays through the air.   When he takes shots deep, Holt shows confidence in his arm and timing. He's not afraid to challenge defenses vertically, and he can stretch the field when coverage breaks down or when he identifies a one-on-one matchup outside. Those deep throws aren't just hopeful shots — he shows the ability to get enough velocity and distance on the ball to attack safeties and open up the offense.   What stands out is how those deep shots change the way defenses have to play him. Once he shows he can hit vertically, it forces secondaries to back up, which opens up space underneath and in the intermediate game. That ability to punish defenses deep helps create more favorable looks for the entire offense.      Blake is a highly efficient quarterback who impacts the game with both his arm and his legs, showing excellent control of the offense and strong decision-making throughout the season. With 2,234 passing yards, 19 passing touchdowns, and an impressive 76% completion rate with only 1 interception, he stands out as a quarterback who takes care of the football while consistently moving the chains.   On his highlight tape, Blake shows great command of the offense. He operates with rhythm, gets the ball out quickly, and consistently makes the right read within structure. His accuracy is a major strength he places the ball where it needs to be and avoids risky throws, which is reflected in his near perfect touchdown to interception ratio.   What elevates his game even more is his ability to create with his legs. Adding 331 rushing yards and 7 rushing touchdowns, Blake is a legitimate threat when plays break down or when the offense calls his number in the run game. He knows when to escape, when to extend, and when to finish runs in the red zone.      West is a quarterback in El Paso who isn't afraid to let the ball rip and push the tempo of the offense. He plays with confidence and aggression as a passer, showing he's willing to challenge defenses and attack downfield when he sees an opening.   When he gets into rhythm, West shows the ability to stretch the field and create explosive plays through the air. He trusts his arm and doesn't hesitate to take shots, which keeps defenses honest and forces secondaries to respect the deep ball. That aggressive mindset helps open up the entire offense.   What stands out is his willingness to play fearless football. Instead of playing conservative, he looks to make plays and put pressure on defenses vertically.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/WestStansbury/status/1991888673772839042?s=20 </div></figure>    Chris is a quarterback who brings confidence and playmaking ability to the offense, and now he's set to make his return in 2026 after missing a full season due to transfer rules.

Laykon is a quarterback who operates in an RPO-heavy offense, which puts a lot on his shoulders as a decision-maker and play distributor.

He can distribute the ball effectively, work through the offense, and find ways to sustain drives. His passing production reflects a quarterback who is comfortable managing the game while still creating scoring opportunities.   What really stands out is his added value as a runner. With over 500 rushing yards, Warren is a real threat when plays break down or when the defense gives him space. He has the ability to escape pressure, extend plays, and pick up meaningful yardage on the ground, which adds another layer to his game.      Canyon is a dual threat quarterback who brings a rare mix of physical tools, highlighted by his ability to make high-level throws with ease. His arm strength jumps out immediately he can generate serious velocity on the ball and deliver it deep downfield without needing perfect conditions. Whether he's stepping into throws or releasing on the move, he has the power to challenge defenses vertically and open up the entire field.   What separates him is how effortlessly the ball comes off his hand. He can fit passes into tight coverage, drive throws outside the numbers, and still maintain enough touch to keep the ball catchable. Defenses can't sit on short routes because he has the arm to take the top off at any moment.   On top of that, his mobility adds another dimension. Canyon isn't just a passer he can break contain, extend plays, and turn pressure into opportunity. When plays break down, he becomes even more dangerous, forcing defenders to make tough decisions in space.   Overall, Canyon is a playmaking quarterback with a powerful arm and the ability to create outside of structure, making him a constant threat every time he touches the ball.      Wilson is a quarterback who is steadily climbing up the charts and starting to turn heads with his development as a passer and overall command of the offense. His game shows clear growth, and each time he's evaluated, there's more consistency and confidence in how he operates.   On his highlight tape, Wilson shows improving poise and decision-making. He's learning how to control tempo, stay on schedule, and take what the defense gives him instead of forcing plays. The progression in his reads stands out — he's becoming more comfortable working through concepts and finding the right matchup.   What really stands out is his trajectory. He's not a finished product, but the upward trend is obvious. His mechanics, timing, and understanding of the game are all getting sharper, which is why he's rising in evaluations. When he gets into rhythm, he shows flashes of being able to move the offense efficiently and create positive plays consistently.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/brandt_wilson7/status/2014520585674514683?s=20 </div></figure>   Overall, the 2028 quarterback group is trending in a very positive direction with clear signs of development, production, and upside across the board. While each quarterback brings a different style from pocket passers to dual-threat playmakers they all share one common trait: the ability to impact games and lead an offense at a young age.
