is called to fill said shoes and did one hell of a job as a junior under center last Fall. So much so that I’m comfortable calling him a top 20 passer among his 2025 classmates. The margin between him and the top ten is marginal in terms of numbers. 120 spots and Corkery would see himself trusted inside the top ten. A great performance here could help me make that call. Averaged 200ypg through 11 total games last Fall. Expecting this camp to be a breeze.

Question: Is Shank a 2027 QB worth sending to college coaches early?
I made the call to rank Shank among the few 2027 QBs I deemed worthy enough in August. I have a handful of freshman QBs I feel comfortable sending to colleges for an early look. I’m on the fence as to whether or not Shank deserves to be in that elite group. To be fair, I haven’t checked in on him since August, new tape might be out that I have to review for the 2027 rankings update. Said tape will say more than any camp performance. Still, I’m excited to get him under the microscope, love the physical tools.
Highlights
Question: Camp’s top QB in terms of rank, will he prove us right?
The most seasoned and skilled passer that will be in the venue. Would likely be a lock for looks from any FCS walking through. Is a Group of Five prospect in my eyes, his ranking relays that notion. When you’re this far ahead of the rest of the class, he’s going to have to prove to us all that he’s a class above the rest. Dominating this camp, making it a breeze, I fully expect Smith to stand above the rest. My MVP favorite. Hard for my opinion on him to change no matter what he does in the dome. Excited to see him work.
Highlights
Question: Can he stand tall with the camp’s elite, will he earn a ranking?
One of the more intriguing attendees at the QB position. I’ve been a fan of the young man for some time, ever since Coach Brasche put him on my radar back in August. He’s on WL, he’s likely to make our 2027 lists regardless of what he does at the camp, yet where and who he might stack over on said lists is yet to be determined. I’m interested in seeing how he performs during the combine portion of the event. His stock could rise if he posts great numbers across the board.
Highlights
Question: Is he 2027’s most talented/gifted passer?
McLeish, after seeing him work in three different games this Fall, McLeish is my choice to represent the class as its top passer. I’ve still got film to watch across the state, I haven’t dived into 2027s yet, McLeish is doing good by dipping his toe into the camp scene early, against great competition too. The decision to place McLeish at the one or two spot could be swayed by how comfortable he looks against some of the best 2025 ATH in the state. Camp performances are second to tape and I know the Imhotep freshman already boasts an impressive reel even sitting behind the great Mikal Davis. He’s likely to impress coaches who aren’t in the know.
Highlights
Question: Am I too low on the Camp Hill passer? Is he a lock for Top 10 conversations moving forward?
Every time I look at the recently released 2025 rankings, I get a feeling I might be a bit too low on Branstetter in terms of ranking. Easily a candidate to break into the top ten, winning MVP performing against this group of passers would go a long way. Scouts Weider and Callaghan-Croley are huge Branstetter fans, maybe I’m a little late to the party. The Camp Hill junior jumped off the WL and placed inside the Top 300, as well as the top 15 at his position, huge boost, yet I feel another boost might be headed his way. Excited to see perform.
Highlights
Question: Physically gifted, what’s his ceiling?
Liberty’s Tre Parham Tre Parham 6’3″ | 215 lbs | QB Liberty | 2026 PA was a WL kid for a while, with the junior passer putting respectable tape on Hudl this past Fall. Tape was good enough to land inside the top 20 at his position, narrowly missing the top 300 too. It’s crucial I get to see Parham work up close and personal, I still feel like I’m a bit in the dark regarding what the young man’s ceiling is in terms of recruiting. Likely to impress physically, will he test well? Is he an athlete who is developing as a passer? Is he a strong-arm kid whose physical traits are still being tended to? The sky really is the limit, I’ve seen less talented, less physically gifted prospects blow up as seniors. Excited to learn more about the young man.
