The QB House Midwest Retreat is now half-way through its scheduled bus tour with Ohio State University as the next stop. Before then, let’s take a Quick Look at notable offers and standouts from the tour.
Kendall Johnson | WR | 2025 | ZCA | @KxndallJxhnson
Tour offers: EKU, UTM, Austin Peay
Johnson has been a man amongst boys on the QB House Midwest Retreat. He’s picked up three much deserved offers and has been a top standout at each camp so far. Expect him to get a lot of looks at the last two mega camps. (Miami-Ohio, Indianapolis)
Jaylen White | QB | 2026 | Clearwater | @jaylen_white12
Tour offers: EKU
I knew this kid was an athlete but his arm talent and advanced mechanics has locked him in as one of the better QBs not just on the bus but period so far. He picked up an EKU offer after impressing the coaches with high upside while throwing money balls.
Jerry Thomas | WR | 2026 | Lakeland | @Showtime2swift
Tour offers: EKU
One of the more underrated kids on the bus has earned an offer after back-to-back dominant camps where he’s shown off his 6-3 frame, solid route running, and growing catch radius.
Joel Morris | QB | 2026 | Sumner | @Joe1morris
Morris seems to scare coaches away because of his immense potential in the 2026 class. He’s had a solid camp tour so far but expect him to turn things up as we head into the mega camp period. He has everything you want in a big-time QB prospect.
Damari Green | DB | 2025 | Lakewood | @14Damarigreen
Tour offers: KCU
This kid is a lockdown defender! I’m a believer now, as I was told about his elite coverage skills and technique at the position. He earned a much deserved offer from Kentucky State after strapping up wide receivers at the EKU camp.
Evan Brady | QB | 2025 | @Evan_Brady12
Tour offers: KCU
Brady has some of the better deep ball accuracy that I’ve seen. It’s pure arm talent that he wants to use at the next level under center. He’s a 4.6 type speed kid that can slang the rock downfield. He also earned a well deserved offer from Kentucky State.
Dillon Bryant | DE | 2025 | Venice | @bryant_941
One of the trench monsters on the QB House Midwest Retreat has to pick up an offer here in the next couple days. The technique and IQ is there.
Chase Forte | QB | 2025 | @ChaseForte1
Forte is having himself a solid bus tour where the rising senior has shown coaches his arm talent and accuracy combined with an athletic build. He threw dots all camp yesterday and should keep turning things up.
Ayden Wallace | QB | 2026 | Lakewood | @aydendwall16
The development over the past two seasons from Wallace is notable. He’s a problem now with the ball in his hands as he has rocket arm strength and pinpoint accuracy to complete all throws on the route tree. He’s fresh off an impressive spring which has translated on the tour.
Dylan Nahra | QB | 2025 | @DylanNahra
Nahra has smooth mechanics, a solid frame, and the prettiest sprial ball one can throw. His time is coming. He’s been ripping the ball well on the tour.
Kaden Paghense | DL | 2026 | Carrollwood Day | @kaden_paghense
Paghense had his first bus tour camp at EKU where he won nearly every rep in the competitive period. Been waiting on this kid to join as he’s been a dominant trech monster the past two years. Let’s see him work at some of these mega camps.
Young Pups:
I’m not sure there has been any underclassman regardless of position who has out performed these three young pups listed. All three have elite arm talent and high upside with time to put it all together.
Myles McDonald | QB | 2027 | Carrollwood Day | @813_mcdonald
Braylon Cave Jr | QB | 2029 | @Bmax_thedux
Brayden Himelright | QB | 2027 | Calvary Christian | @BraydenHim8
Risers:
Gavin Galish | QB | 2026 | Osceola | @Gavin_Galish
Nick Jeffords | WR | 2025 | Countryside | @nickjeffords4
John Angelo | QB | 2025 | Tarpon Springs | @John_Angelo_1
Austin Stanina | WR | 2025 | @9kaustin
Elijah Stratford | QB | 2026 | Wharton |@ElijahStratford
Jadon Olaffson | QB | 2025 | Milford | @OlafssonJadon
Mekell King | ATH | 2026 | Sunlake | @KingMekell
Brayden Foos | QB | 2027 | @braydenfoos09
Christian Birner | LB | 2026 | Steinbrenner | @Christian_B12
