Next in our #5 overall spot, we move to in our view our QB1 in the 2029 rankings, which is Bergan Catholic’s Carter Vrana Carter Vrana 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Archbishop Bergan | 2029 State NE . The 6’2 180 pounder logged 25 touchdowns in his first six games along with nearly 1700 total yards as just a sophomore and already shows he can unleash with his deep ball arm strength and accuracy. He’s one that is the most gifted in this 2029 class from a mechanics perspective as even when he gets out of the pocket, you can evaluate quickly how poised he is throwing from outside the pocket. He shows off candid vision when his first look on his throws isn’t there and still can open up downfield with ease. Carter is one of two names you will see from Class C2 in our top 5, which should be eye-catching in a great way to those evaluators out there.

Now standing at 6’2 180 pounds, Bergan Catholic 2029 quarterback Carter Vrana Carter Vrana 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Archbishop Bergan | 2029 State NE is one that has had some impressive games thus far to start his sophomore season. The mobily Carter can creat outside of the pocket at that size caught my attention in his eval as he moves more like a running back outside of the pocket with his elusiveness getting out of a jam and creating yards from the run. He has a big arm that can unload downfield with sound accuracy for his age. Just last week he unloaded for four passing touchdowns with 313 total yards in a 49-7 win over Norfolk Catholic. He’s one that looks very poised for age and can turn a nothing into something plays with how calm he appears to be. Surely a 2029 quarterback that I have a next-level grade on already on this class that surely going to be stockriser from the 2029 watchlist onto the rankings.
