Now entering my third year teaming up with Coach BJ Hall, The Quarterback House Tour has become more than just a bus ride—it’s a launchpad. Designed to give Florida’s rising talent a chance to shine at college camps, this offseason journey has opened doors for countless student-athletes. Each stop is a new opportunity with P5 visits to Tennessee and Clemson, plus high-visibility private workouts at Alabama State Kennesaw State, and the West Florida mega camp. Here’s a look at some of the top prospects riding with us this year and what they bring to the table:

Class of 2026

Joel Morris | QB | Booker | @Joe1morris

A returner to the tour and a familiar name in the 2026 QB scene, Morris is still after that next-tier breakthrough. He flashes high-level arm talent and mobility, and this tour is a chance for him to re-establish momentum before a critical senior season. The upside is there—it’s just about stacking consistency and seizing these camp reps.

Ayden Wallace | QB | Lakewood | @aydendwall16

Wallace has grown into his own this offseason. His confidence is showing in the way he delivers the ball and commands the field. He’s added some speed to his game and continues to be one of the sharper arms in the group. A former top performer at QB House events, Wallace is trending upward at the right time.

Mekell King | DB | Specially Fit Academy | @KingMekell

King is the kind of player who demands attention with his hustle and physicality. He’s already reaping the rewards of offseason work with a few offers coming in, and this week gives him a chance to prove he can hold his own against top-tier receivers. Don’t sleep on his coverage instincts and willingness to mix it up.

Brody Church | TE/WR | Clearwater Central Catholic | @thebrodychurch

Church is a hybrid threat with the skill set to be productive at multiple spots. He’s polished in his route running and consistently finishes plays with strong hands. A high-IQ player who blocks with purpose, Church could be a major beneficiary of the tour’s exposure to bigger programs that still need a versatile TE.

Antray Lee | DB | Jesuit | @AntrayL

Lee is a DOG. I’m fired up to have him on the bus after watching him compete with intensity this spring. We need some lockdown defenders on the tour, and Lee fits that mold perfectly. With his senior season on the horizon, this is a prime opportunity for him to show college coaches he’s the type of gritty, dependable defensive back every roster needs.

Gavin Galish | QB | Osceola | @Gavin_Galish

Galish has quietly elevated his game. The 6-1 signal-caller is stronger, more confident, and showing great ball placement in short and intermediate windows. He’s not flashy, but efficient and composed—two traits that’ll pop at college camps if he keeps this momentum going.

Will Mirabella | RB | Alonso | @willmirabe1la

One of the top rising senior running backs in the Tampa Bay Area, Mirabella will be on the bus tour with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. He’s a tough, downhill runner with good vision and balance, and he’s looking to show college coaches he has what it takes to contribute at the next level.

Austin Stanina | WR | 2026 | Springstead | @AustinS2026

One of the better boundary receivers on the bus tour, Stanina brings size at 6-3, 180 pounds and a growing skill set that’s hard to ignore. He’s coming off a productive spring and looks ready to put it all together. With his frame, catch radius, and ability to win 1-on-1 matchups, this tour could be the boost he needs to start drawing real college interest.

Christian Birner | LB | Steinbrenner | @Christian_B12

One of the few defenders on the tour, Birner held his own last year and brings a blue-collar edge that’ll show up again. He plays fast, tackles well in space, and competes like he has something to prove. This tour could be where he turns intrigue into genuine offers if the film matches the motor.

Elijah Stratford | DB | Wharton | @ElijahStratford 

Stratford brings athleticism and creativity to the bus tour. He’s now made the transition to defensive back where his speed and understanding of the route tree will be crucial. Stratford is fresh and ready to show he can play college level ball this time around.

Class of 2027

Myles McDonald | QB | Carrollwood Day | @813_mcdonald

Lefty QBs who can spin it like this don’t come around often. McDonald’s footwork and precision make him dangerous in tight windows, and he processes the field well for his age. He’s drawing early buzz as a Power 4-level guy, and he could really boost his stock by showing out on this tour.

Gavin Davis | WR | ZCA | @GavinKDavis11

Track speed, football instincts, and natural hands—Davis checks a lot of boxes. He can stretch the field or take a quick screen the distance. Add in his return skills, and you’ve got one of the more electric prospects in the 2027 class. Expect him to be a favorite target during camp reps.

Caleb McFarlane | QB | Lakeland | @caleb_mc4 

Fresh off an MVP performance at The Main Event Camp, McFarlane is carrying serious momentum. He’s calm under pressure, delivers with touch, and looks like a player who’s locked in. He has a quiet confidence and the tools to back it up—keep an eye on him in high-rep camp settings.

Jordan Calvin | QB | Gibbs | @imjordancalvin9

Calvin has the offers, and now it’s time to see him go to work in person. He’s coming off a strong spring showing, and the tools are clear: strong arm, good movement skills, and a growing command of the game. If he throws it well on tour, he’ll likely leave with more offers than he started with.

Class of 2028

Luke Wilson | WR | 2028 | Clearwater Central Catholic | @luke_wil7

Really glad this kid is on the bus—he’s been one of the most electric pass catchers I’ve seen this offseason. Wilson consistently creates separation with sharp footwork and explosive burst, and he’s a problem in open space after the catch. Already turning heads as a go-to target, he’s a name to track closely heading into the fall.

Class of 2029

Josiah Carter | QB | ZCA | @carterjojo5

There’s early buzz around Carter for a reason. He’s only a rising 8th grader, but the ball jumps out of his hand with confidence and velocity. Already holding offers, he has the raw arm strength and natural feel that make him a fun long-term watch. This week is about exposure and experience—and he’s up for the moment.

Names to watch for:

KJ Roos | QB | 2028 | @KJ_Roos

Mason Pauliot | ATH | 2028 | @Mason_V_Pauliot

Ty Lee | QB | 2029

Taaj Leathers | QB | 2029

Steven Leblanc | QB | 2029

Beckam Bell | QB | 2029

Kaleb Reincke | WR | 2030
