Name : Zahkai “Fat Mac” Albury
Position : QB
Measurables
Class : 2031
Team : RPB Wildcats (FL)
Skinny :
Sometimes scouting is about looking beyond the numbers and understanding how a player is being utilized within an offense. That’s exactly the story of Zahkai “Fat Mac” Albury.
Previously known as more of a run-first quarterback with the Treasure Coast Spartans, Albury always showed enough arm talent to make defenses respect his ability to throw. But in 2026, a change of scenery and a new offensive coordinator have helped unlock another dimension to his game.
Now with the Royal Palm Beach Wildcats, Fat Mac has developed into a legitimate dual-threat quarterback who can hurt defenses with both his arm and his legs. A powerful, physical runner who isn’t afraid to punish defenders on zone reads, Albury has also shown he can dissect a defense from the pocket.
Against the Anytime Jags, who were considered Florida’s top 13U team at the time, Fat Mac put on a show! He displayed his full passing arsenal, connecting on post routes, slants, and deep nine routes against a talented secondary. And when the coverage took away his options, he wasn’t afraid to tuck it and make something happen with his legs.
Putting up 30-plus points against one of the state’s stingiest defenses was another statement performance.
THE SKINNY:
Albury is proving that he’s more than just a running quarterback. He’s evolving into a complete offensive weapon with the physicality, arm talent, and competitive edge to make defenses defend every blade of grass. There are mechanical details to clean up, and continued work with a dedicated QB coach could help take his game to another level.
The production is earning respect, and the potential is worth watching. With the RPB Wildcats building toward a national YNC run, Fat Mac is looking to make some noise in 2026.

Name : Alonzo “ICE” Stewart
Position : QB
Measurables
Class : 2033
Team : DMV U NO LIMIT 11U
Skinny :
Consistency has been part of Alonzo “ICE” Stewart’s game since his 9U days, and the Class of 2033 quarterback continues to prove he’s one of the more intriguing young passers in the region.
Stewart is a true gamer who seems to elevate his play when the pressure is highest. He’s comfortable throwing off-platform, navigating the pocket, and keeping his eyes downfield while searching for open receivers. Don’t let the size fool you. ICE has plenty of velocity on his passes and the confidence to make every throw.
Where he really separates himself is his accuracy in the intermediate passing game, pocket awareness, and ability to create outside the pocket. He’s equally dangerous when escaping pressure or taking off on designed runs. While his deep-ball precision can continue to develop, the arm strength and natural feel for the position are already evident.
THE SKINNY:
When evaluating the premier quarterbacks in the Class of 2033, Stewart is an intriguing prospect with plenty of upside. Continued physical development, along with a potential growth spurt, could make an already productive quarterback even more dangerous.
He’s putting together his best season yet, utilizing the weapons around him and leading DMV U No Limit at the right time. This squad is playing its best football when it matters most and could be a sleeper to watch in the National Championship picture.
ICE has been consistent. ICE has been productive. And now he’s looking to lead his squad to the promised land!

Name : T.J Fortier
Position : QB
Measurables
Class : 2031
Team : Simi Valley Bulldogs (CA)
Skinny :
Every once in a while, a quarterback comes along who reminds you why you love scouting the position. For me, T.J. Fortier is one of the most naturally gifted youth quarterbacks I’ve evaluated since Bryce Young was carving up defenses with the IE Ducks.
The similarities start with his composure. Fortier operates with an uncommon level of poise, precision, and confidence. His ability to manipulate arm angles without sacrificing accuracy is special. Whether he’s standing tall in the pocket or delivering off-platform strikes, this young field general can put the football wherever it needs to be.
And the scary part? He makes the difficult look routine.
From Syracuse Top Dawg Camp to FBU and MVP performances at the RNR Super Showcase, Fortier has consistently answered the bell against elite competition. He’s not chasing social media hype or popularity. He’s chasing the smoke, letting his performances establish his reputation.
In 2026, the production has been nothing short of spectacular. 2,891 passing yards and 43 touchdowns! Those are eye-popping, Heisman-type numbers that validate what the film has been showing.
THE SKINNY:
Fortier is a lethal dual-threat weapon with a compact frame, underrated elusiveness, and exceptional pocket instincts. Although he’s dangerous extending plays and creating outside the pocket, his best work comes when he has time to survey the defense, process his reads, and unleash that lightning-quick release.
His willingness to attack tight windows produces some breathtaking throws, but it’s also an area that will require refinement as he transitions toward the high school level. Learning when to take calculated risks rather than forcing the spectacular will only elevate his game.
What separates Fortier isn’t simply arm talent. It’s his football IQ, competitive mentality, accuracy, and the natural feel he possesses for playing quarterback.
MY EVALUATION:
Fortier is my No. 1 quarterback prospect in the Class of 2031, and one of the most exciting young signal-callers in the country, regardless of class. His ceiling is exceptionally high, and his combination of production, physical tools, and competitive résumé makes him a special prospect.
Rocking that unconventional No. 40 jersey, this California field general isn’t trying to be the next anybody. He’s creating his own identity and building his own legacy.
🔥 THE NUMBERS SPEAK. THE FILM CONFIRMS. QB1 FOR A REASON!
Name : King Glaud
Position : QB
Measurables
Class : 2033
Team : Winslow Elite Boys (NJ)
Skinny :
SOME QUARTERBACKS HAVE TALENT. OTHERS HAVE THE MENTAL TOUGHNESS TO MATCH IT! 🔥
When it comes to my favorite quarterback prospects nationally, New Jersey native King Glaud has earned his place near the top of my list. The Class of 2032 southpaw has everything I look for in a young field general: arm talent, football intelligence, leadership, accuracy, and the competitive mentality to overcome adversity.
Coming off a 2025 AYF National Championship, expectations were high entering 2026. But the road wasn’t smooth. After a shaky preseason start, an early defeat, and an injury that sidelined him for multiple games, Glaud faced the type of adversity that reveals a player’s character.
HOW DID HE RESPOND? BY LETTING HIS GAME DO THE TALKING!
Since returning, Glaud has been on an absolute tear, directing a Winslow Elite offense averaging approximately 40 POINTS PER GAME!
The left-handed gunslinger possesses a rocket for an arm, and when he finds his rhythm, there’s not a blade of grass on the field that defenses can consider safe.
What separates Glaud from many quarterbacks at the youth level is his ability to execute the entire route tree. Drags, slants, flats, seams, fades, square-ins — you name it, this kid can deliver it.
And he’s not just locking onto one favorite target. Glaud distributes the football, spreads the wealth, and gives every playmaker in the offense an opportunity to contribute.
📊 2026 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
🏈 Offense averaging 40 points per game
🎯 Averaging 2–4 passing TDs per game
🏆 Defending AYF National Champion QB
THE SKINNY:
Glaud is a polished young passer whose greatest weapons are his football IQ, arm talent, and command of the offense. His ability to diagnose defensive looks before the snap, get his teammates aligned, and operate with efficiency makes him a dangerous quarterback to defend.
He gets his offense in and out of the huddle with urgency, understands where his advantages are, and attacks defensive weaknesses with confidence.
His anticipation and ability to throw receivers open are impressive for his age. When Glaud gets into a rhythm, he can pick apart a secondary with surgical precision, delivering strikes to every level of the field.
But what impressed me most this season wasn’t simply his passing ability. IT WAS HIS RESPONSE TO ADVERSITY.
Injuries, losses, and setbacks are part of football. The great ones learn how to respond, and Glaud has shown the mental toughness and leadership that separate promising athletes from special quarterback prospects.
MY EVALUATION:
King Glaud is one of my premier quarterback prospects in the Class of 2032. His combination of natural passing ability, advanced understanding of the position, and competitive maturity gives him tremendous long-term upside.
Physical development will play an important role in determining his ceiling. If this young man continues progressing and grows beyond 6’0″ before entering high school, his already impressive skill set could become even more dangerous.
With Glaud operating at this level, the Winslow Elite Boyz have every reason to believe they can make another serious run at an AYF National Championship.
THEY HAVE THE WEAPONS. THEY HAVE THE EXPERIENCE. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY HAVE A KING DIRECTING THE OFFENSE! 👑
🔥 DON’T LET THE EARLY-SEASON ADVERSITY FOOL YOU. KING GLAUD IS PLAYING SOME OF HIS BEST FOOTBALL WHEN IT MATTERS MOST!
Name : Deuce Fletcher
Position : QB

Class : 2034
Team : RAREBREED (GA)
Skinny :
SOME PLAYERS ARE TALENTED. OTHERS ARE JUST DIFFERENT! 🔥
Deuce Fletcher has been elite since bursting onto the national scene as a 9U quarterback with the RDU Eagles. Since joining powerhouse Rarebreed, he’s been nothing short of spectacular, competing up in age while displaying a level of maturity, composure, and football intelligence that far exceeds his years.
What makes Fletcher special goes well beyond his physical ability. He’s a student of the game, a respectful young man who carries himself with humility, and a natural leader who understands the responsibility that comes with playing quarterback.
THE KID IS THE SYSTEM! His advanced football IQ, command of the offense, and understanding of defensive concepts give offensive coordinators the freedom to open up the entire playbook. Whether it’s a quick passing attack, play-action, or a more complex scheme, Fletcher has the tools and mental capacity to execute it.
Pressure? What pressure?
I’ve watched this kid deliver in situations that would overwhelm most quarterbacks his age. Imagine facing 4th-and-40, backed up inside your own 5-yard line, with defenders closing in. Fletcher calmly evades the rush, keeps his eyes downfield, and delivers a perfectly placed strike through a tight window for a touchdown.
That’s not just arm talent. That’s POISE, MOXY, and an exceptional feel for the game!
THE SKINNY:
When evaluating the premier passers nationally in the Class of 2034, I haven’t seen anyone consistently demonstrate the precision, mechanics, and overall command of the position that Fletcher possesses.
His footwork is remarkably polished for his age, his throwing mechanics are fundamentally sound, and his accuracy at all three levels is impressive. He processes information quickly, understands where to go with the football, and rarely appears rattled by pressure.
Although he’s an underrated and effective runner, I wouldn’t necessarily classify him as a true run-first dual-threat quarterback. His mobility is another weapon in his arsenal, but his greatest strength is his ability to beat defenses with his mind and arm.
And despite being surrounded by an abundance of elite talent at Rarebreed, Fletcher isn’t simply benefiting from the system. He’s the engine that makes it go!
Undefeated as Rarebreed’s quarterback, Fletcher continues to prove himself against national competition while playing above his age group.
MY EVALUATION:
Deuce Fletcher is my No. 1 quarterback prospect in the Class of 2034, and there’s a legitimate argument that he’s the best pound-for-pound youth quarterback in the country, regardless of age.
He’s blessed with the complete package:
BRAINS, ACCURACY, ATHLETICISM, LEADERSHIP, AND MOXY.
Physical development will ultimately determine his long-term ceiling, but the foundation he’s building right now is exceptional. You can’t teach the natural instincts, anticipation, or composure this young man already possesses.

Position : QB

Class : 2031
Team : Pizitz / Hewitt-Trussville (AL)
Skinny :
SOME QUARTERBACKS FIT A SYSTEM. OTHERS HAVE THE TALENT TO MAKE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM GO! 🔥
When it comes to finding a quarterback whose skill set fits his team’s offensive scheme like a glove, Class of 2031 standout Bryson Stoker is a prime example. The Alabama field general has been putting together an impressive 2026 campaign, and after evaluating his film, I came away with a high grade and plenty of excitement about his long-term potential.
Stoker possesses an intriguing combination of arm talent, athleticism, pocket presence, and the ability to create outside the pocket. He’s the type of quarterback who forces defenses to account for every blade of grass.
Operating within an RPO-heavy offense, Stoker has the arm strength to attack all three levels of the field. He consistently delivers strikes into tight windows, throws receivers open, and places the football where his playmakers can maximize yards after the catch.
And when defenses overcommit to stopping the pass? HE’LL MAKE YOU PAY WITH HIS LEGS!
Stoker is a patient, explosive runner who understands how to identify running lanes and accelerate through creases for big gains. However, what makes him especially intriguing is that he doesn’t have to rely on his athleticism to move the football. His legs are often the fallback option because he’s more than comfortable beating opponents through the air.
📊 2026 SEASON HIGHLIGHT
🎯 Approximately 80% Completion Rate
🔥 Among Alabama’s most productive eighth-grade quarterbacks
THE SKINNY:
At 6’0″ with room for additional physical growth, Stoker has an impressive toolbox for a quarterback his age. His throwing mechanics are smooth, his release is natural, and he demonstrates the ability to drive the football downfield while also delivering touch passes with precision.
His pocket awareness and calm in-game demeanor are two traits that immediately stand out on film. He doesn’t appear rushed, understands how to manipulate defenders within the structure of the offense, and consistently puts his team in favorable situations.
The biggest question moving forward isn’t whether Stoker has the physical tools. It’s how his game will evolve when he’s required to consistently work through full-field progressions.
His current offensive scheme doesn’t always demand that responsibility, so evaluating how quickly he develops that aspect of his game will be important as he transitions to high school football.
MY EVALUATION:
Stoker is one of the more intriguing quarterback prospects I’ve evaluated in Alabama’s Class of 2031. His combination of size, arm strength, athleticism, accuracy, and football instincts gives him tremendous upside.
I believe he has the tools to compete for early varsity opportunities as a freshman, depending on the situation and his continued development.
And while it’s far too early to guarantee any future recruiting ranking, Stoker possesses the foundational traits and potential of a future five-star caliber prospect.
The physical tools are there. The production is there. Now it’s about continuing to sharpen the mental side of the position and preparing for the speed and complexity of high school defenses.

Class : 2033
Team : Legacy Tarheels (OH) 11u
Skinny :
SOME QUARTERBACKS HAVE ARM TALENT. OTHERS HAVE THE HEART AND MENTAL TOUGHNESS TO MATCH IT! 🔥
One thing that immediately stands out when evaluating Legacy Tarheels quarterback Corry Benson is his RESILIENCE! The Class of 2033 gunslinger has the type of competitive mentality that allows him to shake off mistakes, overcome adversity, and keep his offense moving regardless of the circumstances.
Benson is a GAMER! And that was on full display during a heavyweight showdown against fellow national powerhouse Glenville Speed Demons. In a game that turned into an offensive shootout, Benson got off to a slow start. But once he found his rhythm, there was no slowing down the Tarheels’ offense.
Whether it’s extending a broken play, escaping pressure to move the chains, or improvising until a receiver breaks free, Benson has a knack for making something happen when the original play breaks down.
THE KID IS A PLAYMAKER, PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
THE SKINNY:
Benson possesses impressive arm strength and the confidence to challenge tight coverage windows that many young quarterbacks wouldn’t dare attack. He can rifle passes into pinpoint locations, delivering throws that require both velocity and conviction.
His ability to create outside the pocket is another dimension that makes him dangerous. Benson keeps his eyes downfield while evading defenders, allowing routes to develop before delivering strikes to open targets. And when the passing options disappear, he’s more than willing to use his legs to pick up critical first downs.
However, that gunslinger mentality can sometimes be a double-edged sword. His confidence in his arm occasionally leads to high-risk throws that create opportunities for opposing defenses. Learning when to take the underneath option, protect possession, and live to fight another down will be important as he continues developing.
But what separates Benson is how he responds when things don’t go his way.
THROW AN INTERCEPTION? HE’S COMING RIGHT BACK AT YOU!
He doesn’t allow one mistake to dictate his next series. His short memory, competitive fire, and willingness to attack a secondary immediately after a setback are qualities you want in a quarterback.
Benson also brings an infectious personality to the huddle. His lighthearted attitude and ability to energize teammates help keep the offense confident, even when momentum swings in the opponent’s favor.
MY EVALUATION:
Corry Benson is an intriguing Class of 2033 quarterback prospect with impressive arm talent, improvisational ability, and the competitive toughness to develop into a high-level playmaker.
His next step will be refining his decision-making, improving consistency, and understanding when to take calculated risks rather than forcing the spectacular.
The physical tools are evident, but it’s his resilience and leadership that make him such an exciting prospect to follow.
WINNING ISN’T ALWAYS ABOUT PLAYING A PERFECT GAME. SOMETIMES IT’S ABOUT HOW YOU RESPOND WHEN THINGS GET UGLY!
And with Corry Benson directing the offense, the Legacy Tarheels will always have a fighter’s chance against anybody lining up across from them.

SOME QUARTERBACKS COMMAND ATTENTION WITH THEIR PERSONALITY. OTHERS LET THEIR PRECISION AND PRODUCTION DO ALL THE TALKING! 🎯🔥
Alabama native Mekhi “KiMoney” Whisenant is the definition of a quiet assassin at the quarterback position. The Class of 2031 standout isn’t the loudest player on the field, but his command of the offense, poise, and ability to dissect opposing defenses speak volumes.
Whisenant is a skilled technician who operates with the precision of a surgeon. Blessed with a big-time arm, quick release, and an advanced understanding of the passing game, he has become the trigger man for a Fultondale Wildcats offense loaded with talented skill-position prospects.
And the production has been impressive!
🏈 2026 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
🎯 28 Passing Touchdowns
🔥 220+ Passing Yards Reported
What makes KiMoney dangerous isn’t simply his ability to throw the football. It’s how efficiently he operates within the structure of the offense. His quick release allows him to deliver high-percentage throws before defenders can react, while his arm strength gives him the confidence to attack tight windows and stretch defenses vertically.
THE SKINNY:
Whisenant is a prototypical pocket passer who looks most comfortable operating between his offensive tackles. He displays excellent composure, keeps his eyes downfield, and consistently locates receivers in traffic.
His ability to deliver strikes with velocity and accuracy stands out on film. Whether attacking intermediate windows or driving the football downfield, Whisenant shows the natural arm talent and timing that make him one of the more intriguing pure passers in his class.
Although he possesses enough athleticism to evade pressure in confined spaces, he’s not the type of quarterback who will consistently threaten defenses with designed runs. His game is built around anticipation, accuracy, pocket awareness, and making the correct decisions with the football.
And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that!
EVERY QUARTERBACK DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A DUAL-THREAT TO BE DANGEROUS!
From a developmental standpoint, Whisenant has plenty of room to grow physically. Additional strength through a structured high school training program should help him generate even more velocity and improve his ability to withstand pressure.
His lower-body mechanics are another area worth refining. Developing greater consistency with his footwork, weight transfer, and throwing base could make an already accurate passer even more efficient.
MY EVALUATION:
Whisenant earned an impressive 23/25 accuracy grade, placing him firmly in the plus category as a passer.
What excites me most about KiMoney is his natural feel for the position. He’s not relying on superior athleticism or improvisation to make plays. He’s beating defenses with timing, ball placement, arm talent, and an understanding of how to execute his offense.
Those are traits that translate well as the game becomes faster and more complex.
I consider Mekhi Whisenant one of the highly rated quarterback prospects in the Class of 2031, with the foundational tools and developmental upside to become a highly sought-after high school recruit.
The next step will be continuing to improve his physical strength, refining his mechanics, and proving he can maintain that same level of efficiency against increasingly sophisticated defenses.
THE ARM IS LIVE. THE ACCURACY IS THERE. THE FOOTBALL IQ IS DEVELOPING. AND THE CEILING IS HIGH!

🔥 EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, YOU WATCH A YOUNG QUARTERBACK AND IMMEDIATELY KNOW YOU’RE WITNESSING SOMETHING SPECIAL!
I’ve been evaluating youth football quarterbacks nationally for years, and it doesn’t take me long to recognize advanced arm talent and natural instincts at the position. After watching just ONE game of Miramar Jack Boyz quarterback Santana Lallan, I walked away with a bold evaluation.
THIS KID MAY BE THE BEST YOUNG QUARTERBACK PROSPECT I’VE SEEN IN SOUTH FLORIDA SINCE NEIMAN LAWRENCE!
And that’s saying a lot!
During his matchup against the PPO Bengals, Lallan put on an absolute passing clinic, delivering throws that most quarterbacks his age wouldn’t even attempt.
I’m talking about attacking Cover 2 coverage, recognizing the soft spots in the zone, and delivering perfectly timed strikes before the safety could close over the top.
THOSE ARE NEXT-LEVEL THROWS FROM A CLASS OF 2034 QUARTERBACK!
What impressed me wasn’t simply his arm strength. It was his understanding of where to place the football, his anticipation, and the confidence to attack defensive windows before they closed.
THE SKINNY:
Lallan is a calculated playmaker with exceptional natural passing instincts. He consistently demonstrates the ability to deliver pinpoint passes into areas where only his receivers have an opportunity to make a play.
His ball placement, timing, and ability to recognize coverage are remarkably advanced for his age.
Even more impressive is his composure when the pocket begins to collapse. While many young quarterbacks panic or immediately look to escape, Lallan remains patient, keeps his eyes downfield, and allows his receivers those extra moments to create separation.
THAT’S NOT JUST ARM TALENT. THAT’S QUARTERBACK INSTINCT!
His ability to process defensive looks and deliver with anticipation reminds me of the qualities I’ve admired in some of South Florida’s most gifted quarterback prospects.
And when I think about the recent wave of elite quarterback talent from South Florida, names like Dia Bell and Neiman Lawrence immediately come to mind.
Lallan has flashed some of those same exciting traits, particularly his mental aptitude, natural arm talent, and ability to make difficult throws appear routine.
MY EVALUATION:
Based on my initial live evaluation, Santana Lallan is one of the most intriguing quarterback prospects I’ve watched in the Class of 2034.
His upside is THROUGH THE ROOF!
I’m not ready to crown any young quarterback a finished product after one game. Physical growth, continued development, consistency, and how he responds against different defensive schemes will ultimately determine his ceiling.
But from a pure scouting standpoint, Lallan possesses the early foundational traits that make me believe he has legitimate future five-star potential.
That’s a projection, not a guarantee. But the arm talent, accuracy, poise, and advanced understanding of the position are difficult to ignore.
I’m especially excited to continue following his development and evaluating him against elite national competition.
SOUTH FLORIDA HAS PRODUCED SOME SPECIAL QUARTERBACKS OVER THE YEARS, AND SANTANA LALLAN HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE NEXT IN THAT CONVERSATION!

🔥 SOME QUARTERBACKS HAVE ARM TALENT. OTHERS MAKE THROWING THE FOOTBALL LOOK LIKE AN ART FORM!
Texas has another special young quarterback prospect emerging in the Class of 2031, and his name is Bryon Smith II.
Standing 6’1″, 160 pounds, Smith possesses the physical tools, natural arm talent, and advanced pocket presence that immediately command attention when evaluating the quarterback position.
THIS KID IS THE GOODS!
What jumps off the film isn’t just his ability to make throws. It’s how effortlessly he makes them. Smith has one of the prettiest throwing motions I’ve evaluated in this class, consistently delivering tight spirals with impressive velocity, touch, and ball placement.
His combination of accuracy and arm strength is no accident. It’s the product of sound mechanics, excellent lower-body fundamentals, and a commanding presence inside the pocket.
THE SKINNY:
Smith is a prototypical pocket passer with the athletic ability to create when necessary. Don’t allow the traditional “pro-style” label to fool you into thinking he’s a limited athlete.
He’s an all-around gifted prospect who does his best work standing tall in the pocket, surveying the entire field, and delivering strikes with authority.
His footwork provides a strong foundation, allowing him to generate impressive velocity without sacrificing accuracy. Whether he’s driving the football into intermediate windows or attacking vertically, Smith demonstrates the arm talent to challenge every level of a defense.
AND THAT DEEP BALL? A THING OF BEAUTY! 🎯
One of the most impressive aspects of his film is his ability to drop perfectly timed passes over the shoulder of receivers in stride. He understands how to put air underneath the football when necessary and when to drive it with velocity.
His accuracy is what truly separates him. Smith consistently places the football where his receivers can make plays without breaking stride, giving them opportunities to generate additional yards after the catch.
At 6’1″, he already possesses an impressive frame for his age, with plenty of room to add strength and continue developing physically.
MY EVALUATION:
Bryon Smith II is one of the premier quarterback prospects I’ve evaluated in the Class of 2031.
His combination of size, arm strength, accuracy, mechanics, and natural feel for the position gives him an extremely high developmental ceiling.
What makes Smith particularly intriguing is that he doesn’t need to rely on scrambling or spectacular improvisation to beat a defense. His ability to operate efficiently from the pocket, make timely decisions, and deliver accurate passes is already a major strength.
As he progresses toward high school, I’ll be watching how he continues developing his full-field progressions, anticipation against more complex coverages, and ability to maintain consistency under pressure.
But make no mistake about it: THE FOUNDATION IS ALREADY THERE!
With continued development, physical growth, and the right coaching, Smith has the tools to become one of the most highly regarded quarterback recruits in his class.

SOMETIMES A CHANGE OF SCENERY IS ALL IT TAKES TO UNLOCK A PLAYER’S TRUE POTENTIAL! 🔥
Coming off an impressive breakout 2025 campaign, Loukas Rettas had established himself as one of the more gifted pure passers in South Florida’s Class of 2031. His natural throwing ability, deep-ball accuracy, and command of the passing game made him a quarterback I was excited to continue evaluating in 2026.
But development isn’t always a straight line.
A new offensive coordinator and the addition of another quarterback at Royal Palm Beach Wildcats created a different environment. Rettas struggled to find the same rhythm and consistency that made him so impressive the previous season.
Then came an opportunity that would change the trajectory of his season.
FROM YOUTH FOOTBALL TO STARTING VARSITY QUARTERBACK AT ST. ANDREW’S SCHOOL!
With a new offensive coordinator, a more mature supporting cast, and the opportunity to compete at a higher level, Rettas began looking like the quarterback who caught my attention in 2025 — only now with improved arm strength, greater composure, and valuable varsity experience.
THE SKINNY:
Rettas is a prototypical pocket passer with one of the most impressive deep balls I’ve evaluated in the Class of 2031.
His ability to deliver tight spirals with touch, trajectory, and precision is special. He can drop passes onto receivers’ fingertips 40-plus yards downfield, consistently giving his targets opportunities to make plays without breaking stride.
THAT DEEP BALL IS A THING OF BEAUTY! 🎯
What makes Rettas even more intriguing is his ability to maintain throwing accuracy while moving laterally to escape pressure. Although he’s most comfortable operating from the pocket, he possesses enough mobility and awareness to extend plays while keeping his eyes downfield.
His natural arm talent allows him to attack every level of the field, and when he’s in rhythm, he can make difficult throws look effortless.
However, there are areas of his game that require refinement.
Rettas has a tendency to become overly aggressive, trusting his arm and receivers to win contested situations rather than taking what the defense gives him. That confidence has occasionally resulted in costly interceptions, both during his time with Royal Palm Beach and in his varsity opportunities at St. Andrew’s.
Some of those errant throws also appear connected to inconsistencies in his lower-body mechanics. When he doesn’t properly transfer his weight or finish through his release, his accuracy can suffer.
THE ARM TALENT IS ELITE, BUT THE DECISION-MAKING MUST CONTINUE TO CATCH UP!
Learning when to challenge tight coverage, when to check the football down, and when to simply live for the next play will be essential as he continues developing against more sophisticated defenses.
MY EVALUATION:
Loukas Rettas remains one of the more intriguing pure quarterback prospects in the Class of 2031.
His natural throwing ability, deep-ball precision, pocket presence, and upside give him the foundational tools to develop into a highly regarded prospect.
And let’s not overlook the significance of what he’s accomplishing.
HE’S ALREADY TAKING VARSITY SNAPS WHILE MANY OF HIS CLASSMATES ARE STILL COMPETING AT THE YOUTH OR MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL!
That experience is invaluable. The speed of the game, defensive complexity, and physical demands of varsity football should accelerate his understanding of the position, provided he continues learning from both his successes and mistakes.
Rettas has the talent to eventually put himself among the top quarterbacks in his class. The next step is developing the consistency, discipline, and decision-making to match his impressive physical tools.
Sometimes adversity forces a young athlete to grow up faster than expected. For Rettas, the opportunity to compete at the varsity level could become the turning point in his development.
