Faulkner is fluid with his throw on the run ability. He has become a dangerous dual threat that gives any defense a headache to try to stop. He is one of the players that anyone would have to scheme against because of that as well. One of the better deep ball receivers in the state, as his deep ball is thrown with a lot of confidence, which adds a different type of swagger to the position. He is very dangerous in multiple places of his game, and if his pocket awarness is improved you have a case that he is at the top of many lists in the state of Georgia.

Looking for more full game tape from this fall, but here is a note I had on Faulkner from back in 2023.

“Faulkner picked up his first offer from MTSU back in June and there is a chance that more are on the horizon pretty soon. When evaluating Faulkner, it is clear that he has an advanced understanding of the QB position and has an uncanny feel for the field. He is extremely creative in the pocket, keeping the play alive and escaping the pocket with the intent to throw. Even while on the move, he is able to go through his reads and survey the field the same way he would if he was standing tall in the pocket. Faulkner has a quick, almost sidearm-style release. He doesn’t have elite arm strength at this point, but he has enough to fit the ball into tight windows and attack the third level. Faulkner shows excellent toughness as he can hang in the pocket and take on contact while throwing. He is also the definition of an off-platform thrower, showing that he can get the ball out while jumping or cutting to evade tacklers. Faulkner is still growing physically, but his grasp for the game is noticeable and should lead him to a successful 2023 season both on the field and on the recruiting trail.”

Harrison Faulker is a high IQ guy and he’s a great coach’s son so that helps him see the game a little bit different in a great way. His ability to throw and maneuver gives him the edge and upside over opponents. It makes them hard to really contain Faulkner. He is a tremendous player, and you can expect him to have a huge year!

An Athens-area quarterback coming off a promising junior season, Faulkner was one of the more productive passers across the state last year in the 2026class, throwing for an impressive 3,230 yards and 38 touchdowns on 186/272 (68.38%) passing. He also rushed for 733 yards on 109 carries with seven touchdowns. He showed he can absolutely play at the next level and should only get better next year as a freshman. He earned recent offers from Eastern Michigan and Western Carolina with more likely on the way.

Harrison Faulkner Harrison Faulkner 6'1" | 170 lbs | QB North Oconee | 2026 State GA has technically already emerged into a name here in the state of Georgia but I believe this season will be an even bigger season for the signal caller out Oconee County. The dual threat quarterback passed for 3,230 yards and 38 TDs last season while rushing for 733 yards on 109 carries with 7 TDs. In total that gives Faulkner 3,963 yards and 45 total TDs on the season plus a cherry on top with a state title under his belt. Faulkner was also the region 8 AAAA player of the year and he did it all being a leader and having a tremendous knowledge of the game using his IQ and his spectacular ability to galvanize his troops to a championship. He will emerge even more this season than he already has.

The #4 ranked QB prospect in the 2026 class was very impressive live. The 6’1 QB has a good presence in the pocket and does a good job with his feet. Throws a good ball on the run and is accurate downfield. He went 16 of 22 for 203 yards and a TD. I heard he was compared to a Brett Favre type player and that makes since with his 2 INTs, he is not scared to throw into any coverage. He threw for over 2300 yards with 29 TDs to only 3 INTs during the regular season and has already garnered the attention of several D1 programs. With State Champ added to his resume, Faulkner will get a lot more attention this off season.

Harrison Faulkner Harrison Faulkner 6'1" | 170 lbs | QB North Oconee | 2026 State GA did enough as a passer. He overcame some early misfires down the field and was able to accurately distribute the ball to his playmakers in space as the game went on. At this stage, he is more equipped to attack the tighter windows within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage, showing a quick release with some velocity on the ball. However, he flashed some touch at times. What really stood out to me was his escapability. He is a good athlete, but he was able to stay on his feet through contact and somehow escape nearly impossible situations. Even if he only tacked on a few yards, he kept the offense moving forward and was able to stay out of negative plays. Faulkner holds D1 offers and just picked one up today from Georgia State.
