Top 2025 quarterbacks: Updated stats for nation's best passers

The first full month of high school football is in the books across the country, and some of the nation’s top 2025 quarterbacks are off to great starts early on. A few others, though, have some work to do to help their teams make it to the playoffs — and hopefully — a deep run at a state championship.

On3 is tracking the numbers for the country’s best passers below:

Note: Florida State QB commit Tramell Jones and Missouri QB commit Matt Zollers are out indefinitely with lower leg injuries, and Georgia QB commit Ryan Montgomery will miss his entire senior season with a torn ACL suffered in Week 1.

Five-Star Plus+ Bryce Underwood
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 1
High School: Belleville (Mich.)
Status: Committed to LSU
Stats (through 10/1): 61/83 (73.4%), 1,043 yards, 17 TDs, 1 INT (311 rushing yards, 5 TDs)

The nation’s No. 1 overall recruit, regardless of position, Underwood has put on a masterclass early in his senior season. That includes a game-winning 55-yard touchdown with in the final two minutes of their Week 1 game, five touchdown passes in game two, and a six-touchdown performance in the third game that helped him break the Michigan state record for career touchdown passes.

“The 6-foot-4, 214-pounder continues to look like the top physical talent at the position with his elite arm and plus athleticism,” says On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power. “Underwood, who turned 17 years old in August, continues to make improvements to his game. He’s sped up his delivery, especially while working the quick game, and has thrown with a great deal of accuracy thus far.”

Five-Star Plus+ Tavien St. Clair
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 2
High School: Bellefontaine (Ohio)
Status: Committed to Ohio State
Stats (through 10/1): 72/111 (64.9%), 1,244 yards, 15 TDs, 3 INTs (133 rushing yards, 3 TDs)

The Ohio State-bound QB has been sharp early in the season, leading Bellefontaine to a 3-2 record while totaling 18 touchdowns in those four games.

“St. Clair has shown progress early on in his senior season, particularly as a playmaker,” adds Power. “The Ohio State pledge looks to be more comfortable in extending plays when pressured and has done a good job working to find receivers downfield once the play breaks down.”

5-star Keelon Russell
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 13
High School: Duncanville (Texas)
Status: Committed to Alabama
Stats (through 10/1): 90/120 (75%), 1,415 yards, 19 TDs, 1 INT (125 rushing yards, 1 TD)

Russell leads one of the top teams in the country at Duncanville and has been nothing short of terrific early in his senior season, leading the Panthers to a 4-0 start. The Alabama pledge is playing the best football of his prep career through three games, says Power. Russell is making good decisions and getting the ball out quickly to his talented supporting cast, which includes Five-Star Plus+ wide receiver Dakorien Moore.

5-star Husan Longstreet
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 23
High School: Centennial (Calif.)
Status: Committed to Texas A&M
Stats (through 10/1): 47/78 (60.3%), 698 yards, 6 TDs, 4 INTs (303 rushing yards, 4 TDs)

The Huskies have played one of the nation’s toughest schedules so far with games against top-5 teams from California, Utah and Texas. Longstreet has been hobbled by injury but has still managed to put up four rushing scores and more than 300 yards on the ground.

5-star Julian Lewis
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 24
High School: Carrollton (Ga.)
Status: Committed to USC
Stats (through 10/1): 101/132 (76.5%), 1,377 yards, 21 TDs, 3 INT (42 rushing yards, 2 TD)

Lewis has been on fire to start his senior season, leading Carrollton to a 6-0 record while completing better than 75 percent of his completions.

5-star Matt Zollers
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 31
High School: Spring-Ford (Pa.)
Status: Committed to Missouri
Stats (through 10/1): 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 injury that is likely to cause him to miss the rest of the season.

4-star Deuce Knight
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 36
High School: George County (Miss.)
Status: Committed to Notre Dame
Stats (through 10/1): 23/35 (65.7%), 516 yards, 7 TDs (124 rushing yards)

The Notre Dame pledge — who is still strongly considered Auburn — was terrific through three games for George County, which currently sits at 3-2. Knight has missed the past two games due to injury, though.

4-star George MacIntyre
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 61
High School: Brentwood Academy (Tenn.)
Status: Committed to Tennessee
Stats (through 10/1): 100-157 (63.6%), 1,272 yards, 4 TDs, 3 INT

After a rough 2023 season, MacIntyre is looking to get back on track in 2024 and has Brentwood Academy out to a 3-3 start.

4-star Bryce Baker
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 123
High School: East Forsyth (N.C.)
Status: Committed to North Carolina
Stats (through 10/1): 84/108 (77.8%), 1,395 yards, 15 TDs, 1 INT (110 rushing yards, 4 TDs)

One of the nation’s most accurate passers, Baker has only continued that trend early this season while also contributing four more scores on the ground.

4-star KaMario Taylor
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 136
High School: Noxubee County (Miss.)
Status: Committed to Mississippi State
Stats (through 10/1): 73/128 (57%), 1,085 yards, 9 TDs, 3 INT (518 rushing yards, 7 TDs)

Another dynamic dual-threat QB, Taylor has led Noxbuee County to an early 3-2 start while notching more than 100 yards per game on the ground.

4-star K.J. Lacey
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 153
High School: Saraland (Ala.)
Status: Committed to Texas
Stats (through 10/1): 58/98 (59.2%), 926 yards, 13 TDs, 3 INT

Playing for one of Alabama’s top high school programs, Lacey has been lighting up the scoreboard en route to a 4-0 start for Saraland. He did, however, miss the team’s Week 5 game to injury.

4-star Ty Hawkins
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 179
High School: IMG Academy (Fla.)
Status: Committed to SMU
Stats (through 10/1): 45/68 (66.2%), 649 yards, 8 TDs (236 rushing yards, 5 TDs)

Hawkins transferred to national powerhouse IMG Academy this season and has provided them a huge spark at the quarterback position while leading them to a 4-1 start.

4-star Carter Smith
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 193
High School: Bishop Verot (Fla.)
Status: Committed to Michigan
Stats (through 10/1): 75/121 (61.9%), 1,009 yards, 11 TDs (435 rushing yards, 10 TDs)

Smith was one of only a few quarterbacks on this list not invited to the Elite 11 Finals, but has shown why Michigan coveted him so much with his ability as a runner and passer — combining for 21 TDs through six games.

4-star Akili Smith Jr.
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 220
High School: Lincoln (Calif.)
Status: Committed to Oregon
Stats (through 10/1): 64/113 (56.6%), 1,111 yards, 7 TDs, 5 INT (121 rush yards, 2 TD)

The son of Ducks legend Akili Smith, Akili Jr. has been on a bit of a roller-coaster with his play as Lincoln sits at 3-2 in the early season.

4-star Luke Nickel
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 240
High School: Milton (Ga.)
Status: Committed to Miami
Stats (through 10/1): 63/98 (64.3%) 1,114 yards, 9 TDs, 4 INT (69 rush yards, 1 TD)

The Miami commit is one of the purest throwers of the football in this class, and while he will need to clean up the interceptions, has led Milton to a 5-0 start and a No. 3 ranking in the Peach State.

4-star Kevin Sperry
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 330
High School: Guyer (Texas)
Status: Committed to Oklahoma
Stats (through 10/1): 52/104 (50%), 834 yards, 10 TDs, 2 INTs (34 rushing yards)

After moving in from Midwest City (Okla.) Carl Albert over the summer, Sperry has struggled early on to adjust to the level of competition Guyer faces. However, the team is still 3-1 and his 5:1 interception ratio is among the best of any quarterback nationally.

4-star TJ Lateef
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 349
High School: Orange Lutheran (Calif.)
Status: Committed to Nebraska
Stats (through 10/1): 95/136 (69.9%), 1,107 yards, 13 TDs, 4 INT (65 rushing yards, 3 TDs)

Lateef leads one of the Golden State’s premier programs and has the Lancers out to a 4-1 start while accounting for 16 scores in five games.
