Corey Bailey | Prep Redzone Scout
Ben Raines is coming off a monster season at South River, one that vaulted both him and the program into the statewide spotlight. The junior quarterback led South River to its longest playoff run in 30 years while torching defenses for more than 3,000 passing yards and an eye-popping 48 touchdowns.
Raines’ poise, arm talent, and ability to extend plays have kept him firmly at the top of the Maryland 2026 quarterback rankings, a spot he has held for much of the cycle. His breakout campaign recently translated to his first collegiate opportunity, earning an offer from RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute).
As the offseason evaluation period continues, expect Raines’ recruitment to gain additional momentum. With proven production, and leadership, he remains one of the most intriguing quarterback prospects in the region heading into the next phase of the recruiting cycle.
