Wagner is the only 2026 quarterback according to MaxPrep to throw for 3,000 yards this past season, completing 181-of-267 passing attempts for 3,045 yards and 46 touchdowns with six interceptions. Wagner has good size at 6-foot-0 and 175-pounds and is still growing. He has a nice touch on his throws to all levels and shows quality arm strength that should continue to improve as he continues to get bigger and stronger. Can put the ball into tight windows when asked to as well. For Wagner, it’s going to be all about continuing to add strength. If he can continue to improve the zip on his ball and his arm strength, he’ll should get the opportunity to play at the next level. But the accuracy and decision-making numbers speak for themselves.
According to MaxPrep’s Falzone completed 172-of-281 (61.2%) of his passes this season for 2,27 yards and 19 touchdowns to four interceptions. Prototypical quarterback size for Falzone at a reported 6-foot-5. Shows quality mechanics though his throwing motion isn’t the smoothest, that is someone who can be worked on going forward. Either way, he gets results while playing quality talent. He shows good arm strength and has a nice touch on the ball. He also is a mobile quarterback who shows the ability to extend plays with his legs on the regular and can move the sticks as well on the ground. Outside the throwing motion, there’s not too much you can’t point to in Falzone’s game that would draw any worries. He’s definitely an impressive quarterback and one that I think could absolutely play at the FCS or FBS level if he continues to develop.
Bradley completed a quality 59.7% of his passes this season (148-for-248) while throwing for 2,072 yards and 22 touchdowns. My first time watching Bradley, I was impressed. He shows really quality mechanics, a good throwing motion and follow through. His accuracy and touch stand out and his arm strength is quite good for a 2026 prospect as well with a nice zip on the ball. Good foundation that Bradley is working with and I’m excited to see how he continues to develop as a quarterback. That being said, he’s also a standout baseball player whose already committed to play at Auburn, which is very impressive in its own right.
Shane Magee
Shane Magee
Magee this season completed 62.1% of his passes for 1,923 yards and 22 touchdowns.Definitely on the smaller side of most quarterbacks at 5-foot-9 but Magee makes it work. Very good athlete who if he doesn’t continue to play quarterback going forward, could potentially play another position at the next level with his athleticism. Good arm strength for a player his size, has a nice touch on the deep ball and throws with good anticipation. A lot of his future as a quarterback will likely depend on his size but as mentioned above, he’s a quality athlete which should help him find opportunities if he wants to play at the next level.
Rebuck completed 55.3% of his passes this season for 1,852 yards and 13 touchdowns according to MaxPreps. Rebuck has good size at 6-foot-1 and 210-pounds with quality athleticism reporting a 4.78 forty-yard dash. Rebuck has good mechanics and shows decent footwork in the pocket. Has a nice zip on his passes to the short and intermediate levels. Has the arm to get the ball down field as well. Another prospect that I’ll be keeping a closer eye on over the next two years.
Maddox Hetrick
Maddox Hetrick
Hetrix completed 63.4% of his passes this past fall for 1,846 yards and 16 touchdowns to seven interceptions. Despite being just 5-foot-9, Hetrick got results as you can tell with the stats above. Right off the bat, I’ll say if he can add another inch or two to his frame, he has a chance to be a legitimate quarterback prospect. He throws the ball with a nice zip and shows decent arm strength down the field while throwing balls into tight windows. Does a good job of reading the field and finding his best options. Quick thinker who can improvise and find ways to get the ball to his receivers, even shows some Patrick Mahomes type throws in terms of side arming it to his receivers in tough windows which while we don’t recommend doing on a consistent basis, surely highlights how he is as a quick thinker. I came away impressed in my first viewing of Hetrick.
Another prospect who is on the smaller side at 5-foot-9, Brosius put up 1,795-yards and 13 touchdowns for Bloomsburg this season. Where he ultimately could play at the next level position-wise is still up to debate as he is a very good athlete. At quarterback he shows the ability to scan the field and go through his progressions and has the arm strength to take shots down the field, his touch and accuracy can be very good at times but can also be inconsistent. Does a great job with his legs as well and fits the mold of a dual-threat quarterback who excels in improvising.
Here’s what our own Avery Hawkins had to say about Messina earlier this year.“He has good footwork in the pocket and keeps his vision downfield. The 6’3, 190-pound field general does a good job of throwing over the top. His deep ball is accurate and placed well regularly. Ryan is skilled at throwing intermediate passes into smaller windows. The ‘26 prospect anticipates well, especially on outbreaking routes. He’s decently mobile but only uses his scrambling to buy time to throw.”Stat-wise, Medina completed 61.1% of his passes this season for 1,745 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Throwing for 1,744 yards and 16 touchdowns for Jim Thorpe, Lazorick shows flashes throughout his tape but the consistency will need to improve going froward. The 6-foot-0 quarterback has good arm strength and at times can put a really nice touch on the ball but once again,, will have to be more consistent in doing so. Shows good athleticism as well which allows him to extend plays.
After a really strong freshman season, Harris’s numbers dipped a bit in 2023 but we’re not overly concerned. This season, he threw for 1,739 yards and 24 touchdowns to five interceptions. Through two seasons for Chester, he’s thrown for 4,000 yards, 59 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.Harris through two seasons of high school ball has been impressive, the numbers speak for themselves. He’s a legitimate quarterback prospect who has plus athleticism but more times than not stays in the pocket. His fundamentals are sound and he puts a nice touch on the ball as well. His arm strength will need to continue to improve but that’s not a major concern right now either. His accuracy also will need to continue to improve for him to reach the ceiling we believe he has.
