Parkway West | 2024
State
MO
| 6’0″ 187 | Parkway West |
Joe’s athletic performance has been well documented and mentioned among the top overall performers at the combine with him testing among the best in multiple categories. His skills at quarterback are impressive as well. He has a strong, accurate arm and can make all the throws, and is especially adept throwing on the run and using those athletic gifts to make plays. Joe didn’t miss a throw on the day and showed good knowledge of passing concepts. During the season he is playmaker with his feet as well as his arm and was the Longhorns leading rusher with over 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns. He added 1,736 yards through the air with 17 more touchdowns against only 6 picks. Federer is a hidden gem at quarterback schools need to have on their eval and recruiting boards.
Tristan Graham | 6’3″ 170 | Francis Howell Central |
Another athletic QB prospect who turned some heads at the combine was this junior from St. Charles (Mo.) who played behind a talented signal-caller the past couple of years but looks ready to have a breakout season as a senior. Tristan has great height at 6’3″ and shows good velocity and and placement on his passes. He also has good footwork and other skills that show he’s been training hard for his moment to take the reins of the QB1 spot for the Spartans in 2023. He tested very well in all the categories and was impressive in drills and one on ones with his timing, footwork and accuracy. He needs to add weight and get strong, but colleges will definately take notice if he continues on his current trajectory as a quarterback.
Adrian Fox | 6’3″ 188 | Jackson |
Adrian is a talented QB prospect from Southeast Missouri who stood out at the combine. He has good size, athleticm and all the skills you look for and had one of the strongest arms at the combine. He ran a 4.9 forty and 4.5 shuttle on the day. He also displayed advanced skills and mechanics and footwork and really fires the ball in there with consistency and good placement, especially on his deep passes. He’s a good athlete and colleges need to recognize him over the coming months and summer. Fox split some of the action as a junior and threw for almost 500 yards and 5 touchdowns. He used his athleticism to rush for almost 300 yards and 4 more scores. Look for a breakout senior season from him.
Creighton Wise
Creighton
Wise
6'1" | 175 lbs | QB
Kirkwood | 2024
State
MO
| 6’2″ 172 | Kirkwood |
Another very athletic signal-caller is Mr. Wise who hit 30″ in his vertical jump and ran a 4.92 forty, with a 4.6 in the shuttle. He’s a true dual threat with both his arm and his legs. He’s athletic enough to play multiple positions but will be the likely starter for the Pioneers this season. Creighton is a smooth quarterback who sees the field well and has good timing and release on his passes. He’s definitely a college prospect in the 2024 class either as a QB or athlete.
Trenton Zeeb | 6’2″ 187 | Breese (IL) Mater Dei |
While Zeeb is from Illinois he is worth mentioning due to his performance at 6’2″ and almost 190-pounds, he ran a 4.91 in the forty and had a 4.3 shuttle and 9-foot broad jump. Trenton is well skilled and his training showed in drills and one on ones with his good mechanics, accuracy and arm strength. Another QB who made all his throws. He’s getting looks from colleges and has taken several unofficial visits already.
Gage Busby | 6’5″ 170 | East Buchanan |
A small school quarterback with some big talent and ability, the lean Busby has good height and overall athleticism. He had a 26″ vertical, 4.6 shuttle and went 8’8″ in the broad jump. This multiple sport athlete showed his passing ability and skills that helped him lead his team to a state championship and earning multiple post-season honors. He looked good in drills and one on ones displaying his talents.
