Past the midway point: A look at 5 Tidewater QB's

There is a lot of solid quarterback play coming out of the Tidewater Region through the first seven weeks of the season. Here's a look at five prospects across a few graduation classes that deserve a closer look. A few of these players are on teams that are having a tough season, but they, too, deserve a chance to be evaluated.    [player_tooltip player_id='1313460' first='Kevin' last='Parker'] has been impressive so far this season, completing 102-of-125 passes for 1,272 yards, 11 touchdowns, and four interceptions. In the majority of his plays, Parker makes a quick read and gets the ball out. He shows nice consistency in ball placement on his short and intermediate passes in his film. There are a couple of deep throws where he shows some of his arm strength. Parker's ability to lead the receiver on short passes enabled what would've been a short gain to turn into a long gain on a couple of his highlights. Would like to see more throws showing his arm strength (e.g., throws to the opposite hash).     Anthony Turner has not thrown an interception this season. What he has done is complete 89-of-173 passes for 1,249 yards and 11 touchdowns. The class of 2028 prospect passes the early eye test from a physical standpoint (6-4, 175 pounds – yes, that's light, but he has time to put on some before the next level). Turner is a little raw right now but he's getting a lot of experience despite his team currently having a tough season. I like the fact that he hasn't turned the ball over. He is very mobile and can make things happen with his legs. Turner is capable of pushing the ball downfield. I'd like to see him get stronger so he can put more velocity on his passes.     [player_tooltip player_id='1149062' first='Tyrell' last='Grant Jr']. has completed 97-of-156 passes for 1,350 yards, 22 touchdowns and three interceptions through last week. I can't confirm the exact number, but he also has at least 336 rushing yards and at least six rushing touchdowns (may update this shortly). His first four plays tell me a lot from his mid-season highlights. One play has him throwing a deep ball downfield, hitting the receiver in stride with a well-timed pass. Another, he's in the redzone and throws a fade to the receiver's back shoulder for a touchdown against tight coverage. Grant shows mobility in another play where he's flushed out of the pocket, and he decides to run for a significant 20-plus yard gain. Another play shows him being rushed from the right side of the pocket, forcing him to roll left, and Grant throwing a 20-plus-yard completion to the receiver on the sideline. That showcased his ability to keep his composure, stay locked on his target downfield, and deliver a pass that required both arm strength and accuracy. The Syracuse commit has come a long way in the past year.     [player_tooltip player_id='1955041' first='Logan' last='Wynne'] has completed 86 of 129 passes for 1,416 yards, 16 touchdowns, and two interceptions so far this season. Wynne's best throws, whether short, intermediate, or deep, are made outside of the numbers. He's consistent in film with his drop-backs and gets the ball out quickly. Wynne leads the receiver downfield with his passes, showing good accuracy. Would like to see more before evaluating him on his mobility.     [player_tooltip player_id='1506947' first='Luke' last='Ashcraft'] has completed 100-of-134 passes for 1,611 yards, 19 touchdowns, and two interceptions so far this season. In his highlights, Ashcraft shows that he can throw the deep pass down the middle with accuracy, hitting receivers in stride. I like that his current highlights show him making passes all over the field to different receivers. To me, that indicates that he's not just locking onto his first target. I have to give a shout-out to his offensive line, too, because he has a clean pocket to throw from in most of the clips that I watched.      <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/10/stock-risers-wide-receivers-making-noise-in-the-tidewater-region/">Stock Risers: Wide receivers making noise in the Tidewater Region</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/10/stock-risers-tidewater-regioin-running-backs-who-are-shining/">Stock Risers: Tidewater Region running backs who are shining</a>   <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/10/past-the-midway-point-a-look-at-5-tidewater-qbs/">Past the midway point: A look at 5 Tidewater QB's</a>
