Under The Radar 2026 Quarterbacks To Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who are some under-the-radar 2026 quarterbacks bound for a giant 2024 season?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone has the details...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1089002' first='Brody' last='Hannah']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/brody-hannah/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;– Loganville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sophomore quarterback in Gwinnett County coming off a fantastic 2023 season, Hannah lit up the stat sheet last year for Loganville as he passed for an impressive 2,910 yards and 24 TDs. He did throw some INTs, but that's to be expected from a young sophomore. He brings decent size at 6-foot-2 205-pounds and showed off a strong arm consistently throughout last season. He's a smart QB who understands the offense while showing good poise and command in the pocket. He can read defenses and can throw a dart into tight coverage. He also shows the ability to throw a catchable deep ball down the field. He's a sleeper quarterback who really flashed D1-caliber potential last year. If he can clean up the INTs and continue to develop over the next few months, Hannah has the potential to have a giant junior season in the fall. He threw for at least 300+ yards in five games next year and could increase that number next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1163339' first='Gavin' last='Nuckolls'] - Northwest Whitfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sleeper quarterback to know in Northeast Georgia who is coming off an extremely productive sophomore season, Nuckolls is a two-port athlete and one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the area. He's smart, efficient, and can beat teams both as a passer and a runner. He's a quarterback who loves to air it out, but his natural athleticism allows him to keep opposing defenses honest. He can read defenses, moves well in the pocket, and can make throws on the run. As a passer, this 6-foot-0 170-pounder was 201/320 (63%) for 2,566 yards and 22 touchdowns. As a runner, he took off for 408 yards and four more scores. He's a star on the baseball diamond, and this fall he showed that he's one of the more promising quarterbacks in that part of the peach state. He threw for at least 200 yards in eight games last year, showing consistent accuracy and big-play ability throughout the season. Expect him to have an even bigger 2024 season next fall as a junior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tyler Niehr</strong>&nbsp;–&nbsp;<strong>North Paulding</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quarterback in Paulding County who's still flying under the radar, Niehr is a promising gunslinger who has his best football still ahead of him. He did throw his share of picks, but he also threw for an impressive 2,734 yards and 24 touchdowns. As a sophomore throwing against impressive 7A defenses on a weekly basis, those are good numbers. The North Paulding signal caller shows above-average arm talent and has no problem pushing the ball down the field. He stands tall in the pocket and can deliver a strong, catchable ball anywhere on the field. His ball placement is impressive and he showed the ability to make a number of different throws. Just a sophomore, Niehr has a chance to have a giant junior season next year if he continues to progress as a passer and adds more muscle and mass over the next few months. Look for this up and coming quarterback to have a possible breakout junior season in 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
