Here’s a list of some of the top QBs in attendance at DR7 Orlando. The group was headlined by 2026 Notre Dame commit Noah Grubbs and some of the top rising underclassman QBs and this group only adds to the rising talent that the DR7 Circuit attracts. The Platform’s goal is to Expose the UnExposed.
Rhys Brush | QB | 2026 | Armwood | @RhysBrush
Brush came into DR7 Orlando as one of the more well-known quarterbacks in the Tampa Bay area, and he played like it. At 6-2, 185 pounds, he’s got the size, but what stood out most was his confidence, quick release, and ability to make plays under pressure. His baseball background is obvious in the way he throws effortless and smooth. Already on the radar for several programs, he’s only getting better.
Joseph Allen | QB | 2027 | Eau Gallie | @JosephAllenQBSG
Allen was one of the sharper young quarterbacks in pool play. At 6-1, 200 pounds, he looked comfortable reading defenses and consistently put the ball where it needed to be. His quick release and accuracy made things look easy, and he stayed calm under pressure. As more coaches start to take notice, don’t be surprised if his recruitment picks up quickly in the offseason.
Colin Androff | QB | 2025 | Gaither | @Colin_Androff
Androff has shown off great poise and control that made him one of the weekend’s top performers. He makes all the throws along the way. His arm strength and accuracy were on full display, and he handled pressure like a veteran. With his high school career winding down, he’s a name that should keep climbing recruiting boards.
William Jackson | QB | 2027 | Camden County | @WillJacksonQB3
Jackson looks every bit the part of a top 2027 quarterback at 6-4, 195 pounds, but his decision-making and ball placement were just as impressive. He stood tall in the pocket, threw with precision, and great ball-placement for a rising QB. If he keeps progressing, expect his name to come up a lot more in recruiting conversations.
Cayden Thomas | QB | 2026 | Mitchell | @CaydenThomas_
Thomas has been a steady presence at QB for Mitchell, and he showed once again why he’s a name to watch in 2026. He’s got a strong arm, good accuracy, and a cool demeanor in pressure situations. He doesn’t get rattled and knows when to step up vocally as a leader. His continued growth should make him a player college coaches keep an eye on.
Zack Paulk | QB | 2025 | Bradford | @zackpaulkjr
Paulk made a strong impression in Orlando. The ball came out of his hand clean, and he delivered strikes all over the field. His accuracy and footwork stood out, and he showed good composure when things got tight. He’s a solid QB prospect whose stock should continue to rise.
Cole Rosendahl | QB | 2026 | PVHS | @RosendahlCole
Rosendahl isn’t a household name yet, but he showed some flashes at DR7 Orlando. His accuracy and ball placement were on point, and he handled himself well against strong competition. This is a big year for him, and if he keeps progressing, more people will start taking notice.
Dylan Nahra | QB | 2025 | Boca Ciega | @DylanNahra
Nahra put together a huge high school season with 30 passing touchdowns, and he carried that momentum into 7v7. He’s a lefty with a strong arm who can extend plays and deliver deep throws on the move. He’s already shown he can win on Friday nights, and his tools should translate well to the next level.
Eddie Mamudi | QB | 2026 | Blake | @EddieMamudiQb
Mamudi was one of the weekend’s biggest stock risers. He nearly led Trinity Elite to the 18U championship, making the most of his reps with accurate throws and impressive arm strength. At 6-3, 195 pounds, he’s got the build and the tools to make some real noise this spring.
Jaydis Wiley | QB | 2026 | Specially Fit Academy | @Jaydis_18
Wiley has been flying under the radar, but he continues to prove he belongs in the conversation. He threw for over 2,000 yards in the fall and looked sharp again in the 7v7 setting. If he keeps developing, expect him to start drawing more college interest.
Caleb Sanford | QB | 2027 | Forest | @caleb_Sanford1
Sanford was steady all weekend and showed why he’s one to keep an eye on. He’s got a chance to take a big leap this offseason and set himself up for a strong junior year.
Prospects to Watch:
Noah Walstad | 2027 | Dunedin | @Noahwqb — Has a strong arm and solid ball placement. Been tracking him throughout the DR7 circuit, and he’s got real upside.
Ty Nesmith | @NesmithTy38369 — Helped lead the 813 Hawks to a championship and looked every bit like a legit QB prospect.
Gavin Pritzkau | 2030 | @GavinPritzkau — Only a 7th grader, but his name will be nationally known soon enough.
Joivan Jiménez | @LiljoivanQB — One of the best 6th-grade quarterbacks in the country, already putting in the work to develop his game.
