QBs-AFI-2

The nation’s top 2025 quarterback recruits are nearly all done with their high school football careers and will soon be enrolling early at the schools they chose.

A few will play this weekend in their respective state championship games, but of the top 20 in the On3 Industry Ranking, only two haven’t completed their senior campaigns. It was a banner year for the QB position, with each of the top three spots in the rankings occupied by signal-callers.

And they — as well as their counterparts across the country — lived up to the hype.

On3 tracked down the final numbers for the country’s best passers below:

Note: Florida signee Tramell Jones, Missouri signee Matt Zollers missed the majority of their senior seasons due to injury, while Georgia signee Ryan Montgomery missed his entire senior season with a torn ACL suffered in Week 1.

Five-Star Plus+ Bryce Underwood
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 1
High SchoolBelleville (Mich.)
Status: Signed with Michigan
Stats: 125/174 (71.8%), 2,509 yards, 32 TDs, 6 INT (per MaxPreps)

While Underwood’s season didn’t end how he’d hoped — with a Michigan state championship — he did put impressive numbers in somewhat limited action because of his team’s regular season dominance. Among the top quarterbacks nationally, he had the third highest completion percentage and is top five in touchdown:interception ratio. The Michigan signee is enrolling early and could compete for the starting job in Year 1.

Five-Star Plus+ Keelon Russell
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 2
High SchoolDuncanville (Texas)
Status: Signed with Alabama
Stats: 238/343 (69.4%), 4,177 yards, 55 TDs, 5 INT

Despite falling short of a third-straight 6A Division I title at Duncanville, Russell put up one of the most prolific seasons in Texas high school football history at the quarterback position. In 14 games, he totaled 55 passing scores, along with two more on the ground. Among big-school Texas quarterbacks, his senior year is among the best.

Five-Star Plus+ Tavien St. Clair
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 3
High SchoolBellefontaine (Ohio)
Status: Signed with Ohio State
Stats: 166/244 (68.0%), 2,556 yards, 29 TDs, 4 INTs

The Ohio State-bound QB was solid throughout his senior season, leading Bellefontaine to an 8-3 record and berth in the state playoffs. They were bounced early, but St. Clair was again one of the nation’s most efficient passers while adding nine rushing touchdowns.

5-star Husan Longstreet
On3 Industry Ranking
: No. 20
High SchoolCentennial (Calif.)
Status: Signed with USC
Stats: 119/188 (63.3%), 1,708 yards, 19 TDs, 7 INT

Longstreet opened the season dealing with some injury woes, but he showed off all the skills that made him so coveted throughout the rest of the year. Despite a limited number of attempts, he put up one of the best touchdown to attempts ratios of any quarterback this cycle and added nearly 500 rushing yards and six scores on the ground.

5-star Deuce Knight
On3 Industry Ranking
: No. 27
High SchoolGeorge County (Miss.)
Status: Signed with Auburn
Stats: 100/165 (60.6%), 2,076 yards, 25 TDs, 5 INT

Knight, who flipped from Notre Dame to Auburn in October, missed a bit of time with injury for George County. But he still managed to put up a prolific stat line in only 10 games. He was almost among the best dual-threat options in the class, adding 450 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground to his 25 through the air.

4-star Julian Lewis
On3 Industry Ranking
: No. 39
High SchoolCarrollton (Ga.)
Status: Signed with Colorado
Stats (as of Dec. 16): 237/311 (76.2%), 3,465 yards, 46 TDs, 5 INT

Lewis is one of only two quarterbacks still playing, as his Carrollton squad prepares to take on Grayson this week in the Georgia 6A state championship. But the Trojans have gotten there largely on his back, as the Colorado signee has again put up eye-popping numbers while leading his team to a 14-0 record.

4-star Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 50
High SchoolCampbell (Hawaii)
Status: Signed with Oregon
Stats: 213/302 (70.5%), 3,404 yards yards, 46 TDs, 3 INT

Keawe-Sagapolutele was one of the biggest surprises at this summer’s Elite 11 Finals, and he only grew more impressive during his senior season. Before eventually flipping to Oregon and signing with the Ducks, he put together a dominant campaign and became Hawaii’s all-time passing yards leader.

4-star Matt Zollers
On3 Industry Ranking
: No. 72
High SchoolSpring-Ford (Pa.)
Status: Committed to Missouri
Stats (4 games): 54/92 (58.7%), 611 yards, 3 TDs, 3 INT (233 rushing yards, 3 TDs)

Zollers has had an up-and-down start to his senior season through the air but has proven to be one of the country’s most dynamic dual-threat QBs. Unfortunately, he suffered a gruesome ankle injury that caused him to miss the majority of the season.

4-star KaMario Taylor
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 75
High SchoolNoxubee County (Miss.)
Status: Committed to Mississippi State
Stats: 173/301 (57.5%), 2,908 yards yards, 40 TDs, 6 INT

One of the nation’s most dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks, Taylor led his team on a deep playoff run while showing just what he can do as a runner and passer. In addition to his more than 2,900 yards through the air, he totaled 1,205 and 16 rushing TDs, too.

4-star Bryce Baker
On3 Industry Ranking
: No. 93
High SchoolEast Forsyth (N.C.)
Status: Committed to North Carolina
Stats: 228/305 (74.8%), 3,520 yards, 40 TDs, 5 INT

The North Carolina commit was as impressive as any quarterback this fall, leading his squad to a 13-1 record and appearance in the state championship game. Baker threw with laser precision, ranking second among top QBs in completing percentage. He also showed his wheels at time with 303 rushing yards and six scores.

4-star Malik Washington
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 99
High School: Archbishop Spalding (Md.)
Status: Signed with Maryland
Stats: 152/236 (64.4%), 2,096 yards, 24 TDs, 4 INT

Washington was a major riser in the rankings over the past six months, and apparently for good reason. In addition to his 24 passing scores, he added nine more on the ground while leading Spalding to a Maryland state title.

High SchoolBrentwood Academy (Tenn.)
Status: Committed to Tennessee
Stats: 187/283 (66%), 2,723 yards, 20 TDs, 3 INT

After struggling mightily in 2023 amid a down year for BA, MacIntyre rebounded to put up solid numbers in 2024. On top of his 20 passing scores, he flashed some running ability with nine touchdowns on the ground.

4-star Carter Smith
On3 Industry Ranking
: No. 199
High SchoolBishop Verot (Fla.)
Status: Signed with Wisconsin
Stats: 123/202 (60.9%), 1,476 yards, 14 TDs, 4 INT

The dual-threat star for Bishop Verot was solid this season, leading them to a 7-4 record and playoff berth, while adding 652 rushing yards and 13 scores to his nearly 1,500 passing yards.

4-star Ty Hawkins
On3 Industry Ranking
: No. 183
High SchoolIMG Academy (Fla.)
Status: Committed to SMU
Stats: 81/127 (63.8%), 1,061 yards, 10 TDs, 2 INT

Hawkins transferred to national powerhouse IMG Academy this season and has provided them a huge spark at the quarterback position. Though he ultimately only played in nine games, Hawkins was one of the nation’s more efficient throwers in limited reps.

4-star K.J. Lacey
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 190
High SchoolSaraland (Ala.)
Status: Signed with Texas
Stats: 185/299 (61.9%), 3,034 yards, 40 TDs, 7 INT

Lacey finished his career at powerhouse Saraland as one of Alabama’s best high school quarterbacks in recent memory, falling just short of a state championship earlier this month. Despite missing a couple of games to injury, he threw for more than 3,000 yards and 40 TDs.

4-star Akili Smith Jr.
On3 Industry Ranking
: No. 241
High SchoolLincoln (Calif.)
Status: Signed with Oregon
Stats: 152/244 (62.2%), 2,462 yards, 21 TDs, 11 INT

The son of Ducks legend Akili Smith, Akili Jr. was on an early-season roller coaster with his play before improving late in the season. Ultimately, he led his squad to a CIF state championship and 12-2 record.

4-star Alex Manske
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 249
High School: Algona (Iowa)
Status: Signed with Iowa State
Stats: 76/111 (68.5%), 1,456 yards, 18 TD, 0 INT

Although he didn’t play in a pass-heavy offense, the future Iowa State signal-caller was extremely efficient while rushing for 319 yards and 8 scores on 61 carries as well.

4-star Luke Nickel
On3 Industry Ranking
: No. 265
High SchoolMilton (Ga.)
Status: Signed with Miami
Stats (as of Dec. 16): 188/286 (65.7%), 3,555 yards, 38 TDs, 7 INT

The Miami signee has been a breakout star this season in the state of Georgia, leading Milton to a state title berth while putting up nearly 4,000 all-purpose yards.

4-star TJ Lateef
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 314
High SchoolOrange Lutheran (Calif.)
Status: Signed with Nebraska
Stats: 225/314 (71.7%), 2,369 yards, 23 TDs, 9 INT

Lateef led one of California’s top teams — in the state’s toughest division — to an 8-4 mark before falling in the state playoffs. On top of his 23 passing scores, he added six more on the ground.
