Top 10 Quarterbacks in Texas: Class of 2020
Each week Grayson Gruendhoefer and myself will be sharing our Top 10 in the state of Texas by position; here are our thoughts on the quarterback position.
The Opening Notes: Quarterbacks
Great day for QBs at the Opening camp on Sunday. Here are some notes on some of the standouts.-Longview QB Haynes King continues to show why he is the best quarterback in the state. He has a very good arm and his ability to throw accurately on the run is elite. He had a couple overthrows but other than those most of his incompletions were just good defense. I think everyone covering the camp finally realized how athletic this kid is with an elite 40 time and shuttle. King is special and it is pretty much unanimous now that he is the best quarterback in the state for 2020. He also got an Elite 11 offer.-Duncanville QB Ja'Quinden Jackson was the talk of the camp because he said he wanted to play quarterback at the next level. I have heard there has been a lot of flip flopping on that decision but he is locked in now. He has the strongest arm in the state and he showed it off at camp. His throws had fire on them and he was very accurate for the most part. His touch passes need some work. He is very athletic and his size is a definite plus.-Lake Travis QB and Texas Commit Hudson Card was solid. He has a good arm and plus mobility but he misses some throws he shouldn't. His touch and accuracy need some work. Austin Regents QB Wilson Long had a really nice day. He is short and he does not have a cannon for an arm but there is definitely talent in the touch and accuracy department. -Melissa QB Brendon Lewis just does not do it for me consistently. His footwork and accuracy were all over the place. Highland Park QB Chandler Morris won QB MVP and it was earned. He had a fantastic day but I don't think I would not consider him a better prospect than any of the guys I have mentioned so far except maybe Lewis. Ranchview QB Michael Henderson is a linebacker. This guy is massive but erratic throwing the ball. I would love to see his SPARQ score. Weatherford Ken Seals competes so well. He is very robotic in everything he does which leads me to believe he is thinking a little too much. It just does not look natural but he is very efficient and throws a beautiful ball in the camp setting. His athleticism is a knock against him.
