is one of the biggest risers in the entire rankings, jumping from No. 98 out of 200 prospects to No. 43 overall. Now at Simon Gratz, the 6’1, 210 pound quarterback already holds an offer from Syracuse and continues building momentum after dominating the summer camp circuit. Salley was also the top quarterback at our most recent PRZ Spring Showcase, further reinforcing the evaluation. He currently sits just behind

among Pennsylvania’s quarterbacks. Coaches have mixed opinions on his long term projection, making him one of the more polarizing prospects in the class. This ranking reflects how strongly I believe in his upside. While No. 43 could prove to be his ceiling, Salley has certainly earned his place in this range.

- 6’1.5, 210-pound 2028 QB prospect out of Simon Gratz High School (PA). Recently won 7-on-7 championships at Penn State, Rutgers, Temple, and Boston College, and holds offers from Syracuse, Akron, and Delaware State.
He brings a blend of talent and projection that is difficult to overlook. The arm strength is there, the frame continues to develop, and the overall athletic profile fits the position. There is still another level for him to reach as his experience grows. The long term recruiting outlook remains extremely high.

Salley got a decent amount of playing time this weekend and showed out himself under center. His arm looks good for a 2028 and he can hit almost every spot on the field. His build is compact and he can move well on designed rollouts, which could translate well during the season. He processes well and isn’t afraid to take what the defense gives him.

Salley was QB1 and the straw that stirred the drink for the Big 215 Extreme in 2023. Comes with a thicker build and the ability to sling the rock all over the yard with ease.

It did not go as planned for the 215 Extreme 13U D1 team at AYF Nationals. The Philadelphia-based team drew the O.G. Ducks (California)–the eventual AYF 13U D1 National Champions–in their opening game, and followed it up with another L in the third place game to the Beacon House Falcons (Maryland). Despite two tough losses, I was happy I got to see quarterback King Salley play live. He was on my internal 2028 Pennsylvania Watchlist dating back to this past summer and for good reason. He’s a thicker quarterback with a good arm for this level. He was under pressure for much of the two games the 215 Extreme played, but still made some good throws. Specifically some back shoulder balls and a few tosses where he had to change his levels to fit into a throwing lane.
