<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As spring football approaches, Central Florida's 2027 quarterback group brings a strong mix of production, upside, and continued development. This is a key evaluation window—programs are installing, competitions are heating up, and quarterbacks have the chance to separate themselves heading into the summer.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Terrance Lewis | Vanguard | @TerranceLewis_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lewis enters the spring as one of the more physically gifted quarterbacks in the region. Holding multiple Division I offers, including Texas A&amp;M, he brings size, arm strength, and dual-threat ability to the position. He throws with confidence and touch while protecting the football, and his ability to create outside of structure makes him a constant threat. The next step this spring is continued efficiency and command, but the tools and upside are already clear.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brody Brenneman | Lakeland Christian | @brody_brenneman</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brenneman has established himself as one of the more consistent pure passers in Polk County. His arm talent and accuracy have translated from the season into offseason settings, where he's continued to perform against strong competition. With P4 attention building, spring will be about taking full control of the offense and continuing to show that same level of consistency in live reps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1258721' first='Tre' last='Kelly'] | South Lake | @Trekelly08ll</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kelly is a steady, efficient quarterback who plays with confidence and poise. He delivers accurate throws, manages the game well, and limits mistakes. His arm strength and lower-body mechanics have shown improvement, and he's moving better athletically. After a solid junior season, he's positioned to build momentum heading into his senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1604864' first='Sebastian' last='Galeano'] | Oviedo | @SebastianGal18</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Galeano's development has been steady, and it's showing in his comfort level within the pocket. He's a natural thrower with clean mechanics who isn't afraid to attack all levels of the field. His ability to read defenses and stay composed has improved, and strong offseason performances have helped raise his profile. Spring could be a key stretch in his recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ja'Dence Kennedy | The Villages Charter | @JadenceKennedy1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coming off a record-setting season, Kennedy brings production and confidence into the spring. He processes quickly, distributes the football well, and consistently finds open targets. His athleticism adds another dimension, and his feel for the position stands out. Building on last year's success will be the focus as he prepares for his senior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Amire Hall | Bartow | @Neweramire</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hall has shown noticeable growth this offseason. His footwork is controlled, his base stays balanced, and he's throwing with improved timing and velocity. As a dual-threat option, he gives Bartow flexibility offensively. How he's utilized this spring will be worth monitoring as he continues to develop into a more complete quarterback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1258707' first='Karon' last='Palmer Jr']. | East Ridge | @Karonpalmerjr</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Palmer quietly put together one of the more efficient seasons in the area. Over 2,200 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and limited turnovers highlight his ability to operate within structure and protect the football. He's accurate, composed, and understands the offense. Spring provides an opportunity to build on that production and generate more recruiting attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1655446' first='Brayden' last='Padgett'] | Lake Gibson | @brayden_p9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Padgett is one to watch this offseason as he looks to take over a program under center. He throws with touch and has shown growth in managing tempo. His overall feel for the position continues to trend upward, and spring reps will be important in continuing that development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Collin Henderson | Plant City | @collin_cj12</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Henderson brings a solid foundation with natural mechanics and arm strength. His ball placement, particularly in the intermediate game, stands out. Still developing, but the baseline traits are there. This spring will be about building consistency and continuing to refine his overall command.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2097957' first='Royce' last='Jenkins'] | Hagerty | @roycejenk9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jenkins has made strides this offseason, particularly with his mechanics and ability to push the ball downfield. At 6-2, 215, he has the frame and arm talent you look for at the position. Continued development in timing and decision-making will be key as he works toward becoming a full-time QB1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1715880' first='Cru' last='Slocum'] | Victory Christian | @CruSlocum</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Slocum's arm talent and quick release stand out, and his confidence shows in how he attacks throws. The left-hander has been a steady contributor, and as his timing and mechanics continue to sharpen, there's room for his overall game to take another step forward this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Robbie Blalock | Rockledge | @RobbieQb27</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blalock is a composed, efficient quarterback who takes care of the football and operates with strong awareness. His ability to make tight-window throws, combined with a low turnover rate, makes him reliable within structure. Coming off a Player of the Year season, continued growth in anticipation and timing could elevate his overall impact even more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

As spring football approaches, Central Florida's 2027 quarterback group brings a strong mix of production, upside, and continued development. This is a key evaluation window—programs are installing, competitions are heating up, and quarterbacks have the chance to separate themselves heading into the summer.
