is a high-upside prospect whose physical tools jump off the page, even if his on-field résumé is still developing. Standing at 6-foot-4, 185 pounds, Hill has the prototype frame to become a matchup nightmare once he gains more in-game experience. Playing within the St. Frances Academy powerhouse, opportunities will come, and Hill projects as a natural fit in the Panthers’ offense as his role continues to expand. With his length and athletic profile, Hill has the traits to stretch the field and light up the scoreboard as his reps increase. Expect his stock to trend upward as he settles into a larger workload and his skill set begins to fully translate on Friday nights..

Denari spent his first two years of high school football as the starting quarterback for Woodbridge High School in Virginia. He threw for 1,591 yards and 17 touchdowns. Denari picked up his first offer from Syracuse on January 21st. He also has offers from Sacramento State, UMass, and Marshall since then. Denari checks a lot of boxes: strong arm, mobility, patience in the pocket, and able to scan the field. I like the way he pushes the ball downfield with ease. Would like to see a little more velocity on his passes, but he does a great job of hitting receivers in stride.
What I’m looking to see from him this upcoming season: I’d like to see him take advantage of all of the weapons that will be at his disposal. Granted, he’s not calling the plays. However, He has the arm talent, and St. Frances’ offense will be much more dangerous if he’s able to showcase it. Denari only ran for 190 yards last season, but I think he’s capable of at least doubling that next season. He’s a legit dual-threat who should be able to make a lot of things happen with his legs this upcoming season.

My first time seeing Denari live and he showed up for Team FLEW and backed up his top 5 QB ranking. Denari showed high level zip and velocity on his passes. Able to drive it down the field and fit the ball into tight windows as well as throw a bomb shot right on target, Denari made all the throws over the weekend. With a tall long frame and a smooth quick release for his length and a rifle for an arm makes him a very intriguing prospect going forward. Holding an offer from Syracuse and now playing for an elite St. Frances team, expect Denari to generate a lot of interest from colleges over the next year.

Denari comes to St. Frances by way of Woodbridge HS (VA) where he was previously rated the #2 QB in PRZ VA 2027 Rankings.
Checking all the boxes in the eye test, standing 6’4″ 180 with a long lean frame, Denari has the typical prototype size for QB. Showing good pocket awareness, footwork & mobility, he can buy time and find the open man. Able to sling it down the field with a quick smooth release, it looks effortless coming out his hands. Denari has good arm strength able to let it fly down the field with a good mix of power/touch to get it up & down effectively. He can also zip into to tight windows across the middle. Denari shows agile hips, able to use them to create space in small areas weather in the pocket or as a runner. As well as showing the ability to snap those hips when throwing the ball to generate power/velocity in throws. Combine this with his nice footwork, Denari shows nice overall mechanics for a young QB.
With his size and arm talent Denari has tons of upside as he continues to develop. He should definitely be getting on colleges radars this summer and will look to have a big junior campaign on a loaded St. Frances squad.

2nd-best Shuttle time – 4.30
3rd-best 40 Time – 4.91
3rd-best Broad Jump – 8’7
4th-best L-Drill – 7.90
A consistent performance from a consistent passer. Not enough to land top honors here yet still easily a top three QB tester.

up close was a main draw for me, was one of the reasons why I had no problem driving 5+ hours down to Central Virginia. Size and frame checks out. Arm talent is there. Good body control and balance, feet are set and works with a stable base. Pays attention to detail and instruction from coaches. Fond of his release, blends power and accuracy well thanks to consistent hip/abdomen torque. I’d go as far as to say Hill showed off the highest potential upside of any QB present. He was likely my 2nd/3rd choice for MVP, yet I know this kid could be the best prospect out of anyone present in two years time.
Woodbridge HS’s @DenariHill5 was in attendance this past weekend. He impressed and was very close to being named QB MVP.
I’m fond of the young man’s game, you can tell with one look of his ranking on @PrepRedzone

is scheduled to be their, and it will be fun to watch him sling it. The 29th ranked prospect and 2nd ranked for his position, Hill is coming off a Cardinal District Title run. The way he progressed as a sophomore this past fall was really impressive. Hill was much more careful taking care of the football and his accuracy improved also.
He is the 2nd ranked quarterback in his class and will no doubt be a hot commodity as a junior for the Vikings. Hill is 6’4 with a cannon and very agile in the pocket, he will turn heads Sunday just wait.

. He is quietly much improved from his stellar freshman campaign, the kid can sling there is no doubt about that. One of his biggest strengths is his ability to throw on the run, which may come in handy facing a top tier defense tonight.

. A top 30th ranked prospect for the class of 2027 Hill is legit and should be one of the top qbs in the state this fall. He already is 6’4 and did exceptional stepping in as a freshman starter in 2023. I would expect a big jump from Hill in year 2, with the hype train not losing any momentum. A little excerpt from what about him back in January:
can see the field like he is a veteran of the game, cannot wait to see how he progresses for Woodbridge over the next few seasons. Selected as second team all district this past fall, Hill threw for 16 touchdowns and made some big time decisions down the stretch in the Vikings victory over Gar-Field. The talent and potential for this young man is there, how he develops during the off-season will be key.

I told you last week and months prior Hill was a high riser so you should not be surprised to see him our overall top 30. This is what I wrote about Woodbridge’s next big star last week:
I saw Hill play in person a few times last year and the hype is real for this dude trust me. He is 6’4 and 180 pounds with a cannon, wait till the Vikings offense comes along and then will really see what he can do.
Watching him make throws on the run look so effortlessly you can see the talent is their for him to become one of the best quarterbacks in Virginia. I will be curious to see how his off-season and training has gone along as he is already a cant miss talent.
