Why not take a shot in the dark? Well, it’s not really in the dark, per se.

Under Scott Chandler, quarterbacks out of Iowa City Liberty have been amongst the best in the state. Just this year, Reece Rettig Reece Rettig 5'10" | 160 lbs | QB Iowa City Liberty | 2026 State IA was nominated for the award, along with taking home All-State honors for the second year in a row. The Lightning under the former NFL tight end have been incredible offensively year in and year out.

Next season, they’ll likely have Emerson Berner Emerson Berner 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Iowa City Liberty | 2027 IA as their starter — he’ll be in the role for the first time in his fourth year of high school ball. Though we haven’t seen much of the 6-foot-2 and 180-pound gunslinger to this point in his career, Berner was stellar in his the limited snaps he got against Dowling Catholic in the state championship game this fall, finishing 8-of-12 for 54 yards and throwing a perfect ball to Pryor Reiners Pryor Reiners 5'10" | 175 lbs | DB Iowa City Liberty | 2027 State IA , that went just off his finger tips, but was perfectly layered over two Dowling defensive backs. Berner has the traits — and a full offseason with Reiners to get throws like that right — to be the next great QB for Liberty. If he’s that, he should be in the thick of this conversation.
