after he moved into Oklahoma from Georgia this offseason. Banner came into the state with a lot of hype from his time in Georgia and being one of the more sought after QB prospects in their 2027 class. Banner won the starting role with the Tigers this spring and when we got a chance to see him in person, it was hard not to be impressed with his complete control of the offense. He can beat defenses in a variety of ways and that was on full display. He will also benefit from leading what could be the most talented roster in the state of Oklahoma this fall. Banner is another 2027 prospect already committed to a D1 program after committing to Marshall this summer.

Broken Arrow has to replace a multi-year starter at quarterback as they look ahead to the 2026 season. The Tigers added a future D1 quarterback this offseason from out of state.

moved into Oklahoma from Georgia, where he was one of the better QB prospects in their 2027 class, with a handful of offers from P4 programs. We got our first look at Banner in early June and he’s a player that passes the eye test. He gives Broken Arrow a true dual-threat weapon at the QB position but he has a rocket arm. And with the weapons that Broken Arrow has at wide receiver, Banner could be one of the bigger breakout stars in 6A-1 this season. Earlier this summer, Banner committed to Marshall.

Banner has D1 offers under his belt, but as some QB dominoes start to fall, I would pay close attention to how his stock rises between now and the start of his senior season. Banner is a truly gifted athlete at his size and can break the game as a runner, both by design and when the play breaks down. At his size, he is capable of dropping his shoulder and running through people as well. He has a quick, explosive throwing motion and gives his receivers a chance down the field. Truly big-time playmaker who should find a D1 home.

A dual-threat quarterback on the rise in Gwinnett County, Banner brings plenty of size at 6-foot-3 200-pounds, he’s a good athlete, can make plays outside of the pocket, and loves to launch the ball down the field. He’s got all the tools to have a breakout junior season and could see some D1 offers come his way next winter. He’s a natural playmaker with above-average arm talent who has a chance to lead Duluth to a giant 2025 season. He’s one of the top sleeper quarterbacks in the state for the 2027 class, but he won’t be a “sleeper” much longer.

A sleeper 2027 quarterback out of Duluth, Banner is a dual-threat quarterback who can really run and make plays with his legs at 6-foot-3 200-pounds. He also shows promising arm talent and slings the ball with confidence. He can fit the ball into tight windows and showed lots of promise for his upcoming junior season. Look for him to have a possible breakout 2025 season for the Wildcats next season. He shows easy D1-caliber talent and earned a recent offers this week from Samford and Miami (OH).
