Bus Tour Takeaways: QBs Who Elevated Their Stock

Noah Walstad | QB | 2027 | Boca Ciega | @Noahwqb   Walstad leaves the tour as one of the biggest winners. He became the first quarterback to earn an offer during the trip and consistently looked comfortable competing in front of college staff. At 6-5, the frame grabs attention immediately, but it was his accuracy, confidence, and ability to make throws at every level that elevated his stock. Recruiting momentum is real heading into the fall.   [player_tooltip player_id='690863' first='Myles' last='McDonald'] | QB | 2027 | CDS | @813_mcdonald   McDonald was one of the most consistent quarterbacks from start to finish. It wasn't his first rodeo and the confidence showed. The lefty showcased improved mechanics, timing, and confidence throughout the week while continuing to spin one of the cleaner footballs on tour. He didn't have many off periods and consistently gave coaches reasons to keep watching. One to watch as a state championship is on the horizon this fall.    [player_tooltip player_id='2089742' first='Josiah' last='Carter'] | QB | 2029 | ZCA | @carterjojo5   Carter may have been the biggest surprise among the younger quarterbacks at each camp. He never looks overwhelmed. His poise, coachability, and natural feel for the position stood out at every stop. The physical development will come, but the foundation is already ahead of schedule. One of the top 2029 QBs on the rider radar.    Brayden Himelright | QB | 2027 | Sickles | @BraydenHim8   Himelright quietly put together a strong week. Looks a lot more mature and has grown into his frame. He threw with confidence, trusted his arm, and looked increasingly comfortable as the tour progressed. The consistency improved with each stop, and he showed traits that should continue attracting attention heading into his senior season.   [player_tooltip player_id='2163675' first='Ty' last='Lee'] | QB | 2029 | Calvary Christian | @Ty_LeeQb1   Few quarterbacks showed more growth over the course of the tour than Lee. His confidence continued building at every camp, and the arm talent started showing up more consistently as the week progressed. The bigger frame, improving mechanics, and willingness to compete make him a name worth tracking in the 2029 class.   Cameron Waddington | QB | 2028 | Countryside | @Cam_wadd2028   Waddington stacked several productive camp performances together. The size and arm talent were evident throughout the tour, but what stood out most was the increased comfort level as the week went on. He competed well and put himself in position to carry momentum into the fall.   [player_tooltip player_id='2142714' first='Cameron' last='Womack'] | QB | 2027 | Santa Fe | @Camwomak   Womack impressed with the intangibles. He stayed engaged, accepted coaching, and continued improving throughout the trip. The arm talent is there, and it's obvious he's putting in the work behind the scenes. A productive tour that should give him confidence heading into the season. A Polk County QB rising name to watch.   KJ Roos | QB | 2028 | Durant | @KJ_Roos   Roos had one of the steadier tours among the underclass quarterbacks. Fundamentally sound and under control, he consistently made good decisions and delivered catchable footballs. His growth from previous offseason events was noticeable, and he continues trending upward.   Jordan Calvin | QB | 2027 | Gibbs | @imjordancalvin9   Calvin showed flashes throughout the tour that remind you why his upside is intriguing. The arm strength stands out immediately, but his growth as a decision-maker was just as noticeable. He looked more comfortable operating within structure and continued building confidence each stop.   Joshua Walek | QB | 2031 | @JoshWalek   Walek gained valuable experience throughout the week and made the most of every opportunity. Being recognized among the top quarterbacks at Charleston Southern was a big moment, and he responded well when called upon. For a young quarterback, the exposure to college coaching and competition will pay dividends moving forward.   Steven LeBlanc | QB | 2029 | St. Stephen's Episcopal | @StevenLeBlanc29   LeBlanc consistently showed maturity beyond his age. He handled coaching well, competed confidently, and flashed touch and athleticism throughout the tour. One of the younger quarterbacks who benefited greatly from the experience and continued proving he belongs. New school this fall season will give him the opportunity to showcase his full abilities as a dual-threat with a strong arm.    Raiden Dutt | QB | 2028 | Jesuit | @RaidenDuttQB1   Dutt continued building momentum throughout the week. That was a main goal, being around college personnel and learning what they expect at the next level. He throws a smooth football, moves well outside the pocket, and showed improved confidence competing against quality talent. A productive summer could help him take another step heading into the season.   Taaj Leathers | QB | 2029   Leathers flashed intriguing tools throughout the tour. The deep ball stood out, and he showed a calm approach when working through drills and competition. Still early in his development, but the upside is evident and worth monitoring moving forward.   Cody Montgomery | QB | 2030 | @CodyQB2030   Montgomery made the trip from Colorado and took full advantage of the experience. He competed well, asked questions, and embraced the opportunity to learn from both coaches and fellow quarterbacks. Good frame, solid confidence, and valuable experience gained throughout the week.   Kayden Antonopoulos | QB | 2031 | ZCA | @KaydenQB11   Antonopoulos continued earning reps and making the most of them. He competed confidently, absorbed coaching, and gained experience that should help accelerate his development. For a young quarterback, simply being willing to step up and compete in this environment is valuable.
