Burgess is the tallest quarterback at the camp and had a case for being one of the top performers on night one. He scored a 48 in the Pro Day portion Wednesday and it makes since because ball placement was a strength for Burgess on night one.

Winning a state championship is one thing. Running it back for another? That’s the mark of a true competitor.

a 6’6” quarterback isn’t just one of the most highly recruited signal-callers in the country—he’s a proven winner, a leader, and the kind of player that every college coach dreams of having under center.
With 21 Division I offers already on the table, he’s firmly on the radar of top programs across the nation. But instead of letting that slow him down, he’s using it as fuel. After leading his team to a state championship victory, he’s locked in and determined to do it all over again his senior year.
At 6’6”, he’s built like an NFL quarterback, and he plays like one too. His size gives him a clear vision of the entire field, allowing him to read defenses and make throws with precision. But it’s not just about stature—his arm talent is next-level.
Whether it’s firing a laser into a tight window, lofting a deep ball with perfect touch, or throwing on the move, his ability to make every throw in the book is undeniable. Defensive backs don’t stand a chance when he steps into a pass, and linebackers struggle to read him because he processes the game so quickly.
Beyond the physical tools, his football IQ and leadership are what set him apart. He’s a commander on the field, making pre-snap reads, adjusting protections, and ensuring his offense is always in the best position to succeed. His teammates trust him, and his coaches know that when the game is on the line, he’s the guy they want leading the charge.
Some players would be content after winning a state title, but he’s not wired like that. He knows that getting to the top is one thing—staying there is even harder.
With his senior season approaching, he’s more focused than ever. He’s putting in extra hours in the film room, sharpening his mechanics, fine-tuning his footwork, and getting stronger in the weight room. He’s working to ensure that when the moment comes to defend the title, his team will be more than ready.
“I’m not satisfied,” he’s said. “We’re coming back even stronger.”
That’s the mentality that separates good quarterbacks from great ones. He’s not just playing for another ring—he’s building a legacy.
With 21 offers and counting, the competition for his commitment is fierce. Power Five programs are lining up for the chance to land a quarterback with his size, arm talent, and leadership.
The schools that recognize not just his talent, but his work ethic, championship mindset, and ability to elevate those around him, will be the ones securing a game-changing quarterback for the future.
As he heads into his final season, one thing is clear: he’s not done yet. The mission? Back-to-back titles. And with him leading the way, it’s hard to bet against it.

Read EvaluationLawrence Morgan | Prep Redzone Scout
The 6’5 195 dual threat QB maybe the most underrated prospect on this list. Great runner with intimidating size when he tucks and runs. He averaged over 13 yards per carry on 40 rushing attempts this Fall. Efficient passer that threw for close to 1700 yards with just 3 interceptions in 199 attempts. He has already drawn the attention of P4 programs with athleticism and size and has proven he can lead and compete against top level competition.
