Projecting The Top Five 2022 QBS

With our 2022 rankings set to be updated later this month, the QBs look to be shaking up a little bit so let’s look at the projected new top five. The previous top five was led by [player_tooltip player_id="126720" first="Brett" last="Griffis"], followed by [player_tooltip player_id="126721" first="Noah" last="Sanders"], [player_tooltip player_id="126723" first="Davis" last="Lane"], [player_tooltip player_id="126722" first="Jack" last="Toscano"], and [player_tooltip player_id="126724" first="Ethan" last="Vasko"]. While I don’t expect the five to change, the order probably will, so here is what I project the new order to be. Keep in mind, Griffis was the 26th overall prospect. <ol> <li>Oscar Smith (Chesapeake) [player_tooltip player_id="126724" first="Ethan" last="Vasko"]</li> </ol> I already wrote that I project moving Vasko into the top top 20, and I don’t see Griffis moving up and leapfrogging Vasko, so the new state champ and ODU commit looks to be QB1 in our updated 2022 rankings. 2. Liberty Christian (Lynchburg) [player_tooltip player_id="126723" first="Davis" last="Lane"] Lane was QB3 in our first rankings and was the 35th overall recruit. Lane recently committed to UVA, and had a great offseason and camp season. I project Lane moving to QB2 in the 2022 class, and somewhere in the top 30 overall. Lane was also the state champion in the 55-meter dash with a time of 6.41 which projects out to a 40-yard dash time of 4.66. https://twitter.com/mdotbell_/status/1380966578624339972 3. Broad Run (Ashburn) [player_tooltip player_id="126720" first="Brett" last="Griffis"] Griffis has been committed to Wake Forest since December of 2020 and is loyal to the Deacons who also have former Lake Braddock QB Billy Edwards and Griffis brother Mitch in the QB room. Griffis competed at the Elite 11 regional back in May and did well. Griffis also completed over 100 passes in just four games this season. Having 2023 stud OL [player_tooltip player_id="127628" first="Alex" last="Birchmeier"] on the offensive land doesn’t hurt either. 4. Trinity Episcopal [player_tooltip player_id="126722" first="Jack" last="Toscano"] In our initial rankings, Toscano was the fourth-ranked QB and the 40th overall prospect. Toscano will stay at QB4 in our rankings update and will probably hover around the 35-40th range overall. While Toscano didn’t do anything to deserve being knocked down, we just have too many guys to move up to move him up for than 5-7 spots. The 2nd team All-State QB also runs a 4.63 40-yard dash but is without an offer still. https://twitter.com/mdotbell_/status/1413164592113532929 5. Brooke Point (Stafford) [player_tooltip player_id="126721" first="Noah" last="Sanders"] Sanders, at 6’2" was our second-ranked QB in our initial rankings and our 31st overall recruit, he may drop a few spots but will still be in the top 50, and probably top 40 when our new rankings come out. Since our rankings came out, Sanders hasn’t picked up any new offers, despite a good showing a May’s Under Armour All-American camp in Baltimore. Sanders currently has offers from ODU, Harvard, Yale, and Columbia.   https://twitter.com/sandersnoah_/status/1399745135060176904

With our 2022 rankings set to be updated later this month, the QBs look to be shaking up a little bit so let’s look at the projected new top five.

While I don’t expect the five to change, the order probably will, so here is what I project the new order to be. Keep in mind, Griffis was the 26th overall prospect.

Oscar Smith (Chesapeake) Ethan Vasko Ethan Vasko 6'3" | 180 lbs | QB Oscar Smith | 2022 State VA

I already wrote that I project moving Vasko into the top top 20, and I don’t see Griffis moving up and leapfrogging Vasko, so the new state champ and ODU commit looks to be QB1 in our updated 2022 rankings.

2. Liberty Christian (Lynchburg) Davis Lane Davis Lane 6'2" | 195 lbs | QB Liberty Christian Academy | 2022 State VA

Lane was QB3 in our first rankings and was the 35th overall recruit. Lane recently committed to UVA, and had a great offseason and camp season. I project Lane moving to QB2 in the 2022 class, and somewhere in the top 30 overall. Lane was also the state champion in the 55-meter dash with a time of 6.41 which projects out to a 40-yard dash time of 4.66.

3. Broad Run (Ashburn) Brett Griffis Brett Griffis 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Broad Run | 2022 State VA

Griffis has been committed to Wake Forest since December of 2020 and is loyal to the Deacons who also have former Lake Braddock QB Billy Edwards and Griffis brother Mitch in the QB room. Griffis competed at the Elite 11 regional back in May and did well. Griffis also completed over 100 passes in just four games this season. Having 2023 stud OL Alex Birchmeier Alex Birchmeier 6'5" | 275 lbs | OL Broad Run | 2023 State VA on the offensive land doesn’t hurt either.

4. Trinity Episcopal Jack Toscano Jack Toscano 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Trinity Episcopal School | 2022 State VA

In our initial rankings, Toscano was the fourth-ranked QB and the 40th overall prospect. Toscano will stay at QB4 in our rankings update and will probably hover around the 35-40th range overall. While Toscano didn’t do anything to deserve being knocked down, we just have too many guys to move up to move him up for than 5-7 spots.

Sanders, at 6’2" was our second-ranked QB in our initial rankings and our 31st overall recruit, he may drop a few spots but will still be in the top 50, and probably top 40 when our new rankings come out.
