Shepard, at this point, seems to be more like a "Sam Proctor" from Pearland since he appears to be more comfortable running the ball. If i remember correctly, he had over twice the yards on the ground last year as he did passing yards.

gilbert hands down. kid has all the tools.

Oh, and add Shavodrick Beaver from Wichita Falls Rider to this list.

Proctor couldn't throw - period. If you saw him at camps, it was almost embarassing. Sheppard has a cannon for an arm - improving his efficiency and harnessing his ability will be keys to his development. IMHO, there is not a kid that I've seen in Texas that has his upside.

Yeah, when it's all said and done, he will be a good one, still developing, son of former Oiler Alonzo Highsmith.

[pack0808]

I really think (not just being a homer) Jeffrey Claybon at Lufkin could end up being something special. Big kid with a strong arm that reminds me former panther qb Terrance Parks. All he needs is reps and he will get that this year.

[pack0808]

OH never mind Claybon is a junior this year.

[SLC93]

I really think (not just being a homer) Jeffrey Claybon at Lufkin could end up being something special. Big kid with a strong arm that reminds me former panther qb Terrance Parks. All he needs is reps and he will get that this year.

With that program, that coaching staff & a kid sporting the Claybon name I'd say that just good logic. If he turn out anything like his brother, y'all will be just fine.

[KT2000]

Shepard has a very good arm. Like CyFalls1 said, if he can harness all of that he has a chance to be special. I'll be very interested to see what progress he makes as a passer this year. If for some reason he doesn't pan out as a QB, his size and athletic ability make him an intriguing WR prospect.

[KT2000]

Garrett Gilbert is one of the best players I saw at 7 on 7, maybe the best. You can tell watching Gilbert, and it's the same with Andrew Luck, that they were pretty much born to be QBs. Great technique, on-field presence and the physical talent to go with it.

[Bobcat81]

Shepard really has some wheels for sure. He didn't pass much in the matchup with Fair, but he sure did give us quite a scare on the ground. I don't know how fast he is but our D had quite a challenge keeping him contained.

If he steps up and throws this year like he's proven he can run, then the rest of 17-5A's going to have some real problems on their hands with Ridge.

The way he runs reminds me a lot of Anthony Bibbs from JV, except he gets the ball everytime no matter what. Scary!! :eek:

[johntylerfan]

doug franklin qb/tyler lee also john tyler will have a good qb to. forgot his name but im a sure someone will come along and help me out.

The kid you are thinking about is Billy Thompkins. We call him Papa. He has alot of athletic potential, but he is a bit rusty in the passing game. I definitely expect him to grow into the position. If the pocket breaks down, he will SERIOUSLY hurt teams if they don't get to him with his feet. His scramling ability is very good and he will definitely remind people of Kerry Maddox. To be honest, JT has never really had a prolific passer mainly because the school has always been run-based when it came to offense throughout its history. He will have plenty of time to grow into the position. He is a great kid and will definitely be a good QB in the end. BTW, he will be junior this season. Now, JT has a sophmore-to-be who is very interesting and will definitely be a kid to watch. His last name is Johnson. He showed great throwing ability on JT's 2nd 7-on-7 team(they didn't lose a single 7-on-7 game this summer). That kid has a serious arm and QB mind.

i liked parks he was yalls best passer ever. that dood made some great decisions and was accurate with a strong arm.

[big red & cujo]

OH never mind Claybon is a junior this year.
thats still 09. i think he meant the class of 09. those are seniors that just finished the 08 season

ok, i never heard of him before. well if he turns out to be good enough then they may move thompkins to reciver or the backfield or maybe even defense by 08

Here are my five:

1. Russell Shepard - Cypress Ridge
2. Garrett Gilbert - Lake Travis
3. Casey Pachel - Brownwood
4. A.J. Highsmith - Fort Bend
5. Christian Matthews - Bowie

The top 3 are all very interested in Texas, especially #1 and #3. I'd love to see Shep end up at Texas, which I think if he lives up too 50% of his hype he'll be in a burnt orange jersey. He's not the most advanced of the 5 listed above, as I think Gilbert is way ahead of everyone at the moment. Pachel is a true leader and QB and will win a state championship with Brownwood before he graduates(most likely in 3A).

[TXFOOSBALL]

You are correct. Class of 2009

[dragonsdaddy]

i'm going to state the obvious. whoever is taking the snaps in dragon stadium. i can't believe no one has mentioned it already. looks now to be padron. he's going to be a good one.

[theTrutHurts]

It seemed as those Highsmith had some good athletes/receivers to throw the ball to last year. How many of his receivers return and if they are returning, are they receiving D-1 interest? They went up and got the ball for him many times in the reel. He seemed to like going deep; a few times it may have been a better decision to hit a guy for a shorter pass who was open, but I guess he had a lot of trust in his receivers' abilities to outjump the opposition. I liked his play-action fakes on the bootleg. I enjoy the highlight reels that you provide.

I was referring to 2009 QBs that will be starters next year as juniors. But...yes Padron will be up there once he gets his shot.

I would move Cody Green into that top 5, his passing skills aren't totally polished yet but he can really throw the deep ball.

let me guess he will be the greatest HS QB of all time...

shoot maybe he will look like that compared to the way you always lowrating longview and their players. you always sayin longview want do this and do that. you just a jinxy ol something.

[grayowl60]

Its kinda amazing that Garland and Garland isd players are not mentioned on this board much, I guess until some of you folks get to meet them in the second or third round. One of the best junior QBs in the state, and mentioned in EVERY list I have seen,( ecxept on this thread lol,) is Nick Florence of South Garland. South has the system and coaching that will highlight him for the next two years. I hate to admit it but he looks very good. Yall remember; Nick Florence

[rich_pack]

Jerod Monk from Wylie,,,6-5 230 lbs....strong arm. Will be good this year and next year, He has a good arm he just had to sit the bench last year since Patrick Witt-Nebraska bound- was the starter.

[whs08]

What school is he at?

Austin Westlake.

[SACokeSooner]

Well this is a homer pick, but I still have to get his name out there!

Gabriel Garcia, SA Holmes! He will probably never be mentioned with these other QBs though, and may not get a D1 offer, but thats because of things he can't control (like his height). He's about 5'8, 170 and runs a 4.6. His coach is one of the best QB coaches in the state (Daniel Aguiler) and I doubt you can find a player with a better work ethic.

He's a great leader at the position and was born to be a quarterback. Already as a junior he is the head team captain. It's just too bad the rest of the team doesn't put in enough work to be successful, because wins and losses can be an important way to look at a quarterback.

Great coaching, exceptional work ethic, great leadership, and very good athletic ability. What more can you want in a quarterback? Oh yeah, height. :rolleyes: But if Garcia was 6'2 he'd be heading to one of the major conferences to play quarterback.

I heard great things about that young man as well... but I think he was talking about 2009 QB's

Well its kinda confusing, Nick will graduate in 09, and will be a junior this year.Is this thread about QBs that were fresmen last year? Not much to talk about at he 5A level

[picperp]

No mention of Emory Blake at Austin High? Top-five recruit by '09. Good size (6-2, 185), athleticism (4.4) and acumen (son of former NFL QB Jeff Blake). He shined as a WR last year; this season should be telling on how far he's come as a QB.

[Warrior09]

I heard a rumor at a 7 on 7 tourney that Blake tore a MCL OR ACL..must not be true..............

[Texasfrog]

gilbert hands down. kid has all the tools.

I think Gilbert will also be a bigtime stud at QB. Just looking at he's stats from last year (10th grader) he was a legit D-1A prospect.

I think he'll really explode this year and he's Senior year may be just insane.

I've read a few reports saying he might be best pure QB blue-chip ever out of Texas. Time will tell on that but I think he has some huge upside.

I also think Karam (Friendswood) has some bigtime ability.

[picperp]

[QUOTE=Texasfrog;521595]I think Gilbert will also be a bigtime stud at QB. I've read a few reports saying he might be best pure QB blue-chip ever out of Texas.

C'mon Frog. Ever? I've seen him play, but it's hard to judge a QB in the popgun spread offense Lake Travis runs.

[BigtimeO-line]

you all know that all Fort Bends Playoff (possible) representatives this year will have 2009 QB's 3 who started last year as Sophmores...

FB Marshall: Dean Brantley
FB Clements: Derek Carr
FB Hightower: A.J. Highsmith
FB Elkins: his name slips my mind but i know he ran all over the place... a true scrambling QB....


well come to the States most competitive district to catch a glimpse of these young QB's...

Peace :cool:

God I forgot about him. Yeah it will be interesting to see him at Qb, he played some last year if I'm not mistaken.

C'mon Frog. Ever? I've seen him play, but it's hard to judge a QB in the popgun spread offense Lake Travis runs.

Not me saying it. I havent seem much of Gilbert except some highlite type of plays.

But, I've heard and read some scouting reports that claim he throws one of the best balls they've ever seen and has some very good arm strength. Not bad since he hasnt even started he's Junior year of HS.

My personal opinion. I think the best pure passer that I've seen is Matthew Stafford (Highland Park) who I think is going to be a top #3 NFL draft pick one day if not #1.

I also think Rhett Bomar was and is a stud QB. He'll be a very legit NFL QB one day.

Mallett probably has the strongest freaking arm in Texas QB history. The kid can just bomb it and he is also very accurate.

I also think Foles has huge upside and believe he'll be on a NFL roster one day.

I said it about 8 years ago and believe it more and more every year. Texas is producing some of the top quality QB's in the nation now and I dont see that slowing down anytime soon.

G. Gilbert I think will have he's name up there with Stafford, Mallett, Bomar, Foles and about 10 other elite Texas HS QB from the past 10 years.

PS. I havent seen much of Luck either but I have no doubt that he is the real deal and I can see him having some great years at Stanford.

[CFlb38 08]

This Kid Named Kolby. He's A Monster. He Hurt Himself In The Weight Room Though.....

[mojotrain]

Taylor Byrd from Permian.
The QB from Abilene High.
The QB from Odessa High.
The QB from Midland High.
The QB from Cooper High.
The QB from Leigh High.
1 through 5 in no certain order.

[TXFOOSBALL]

I am bringing my thread back :D Now that last season is over.....Anyone have some new additions in terms of 2009 QBs??

I know a couple more....

Tyrik Rollison - Sulphur Springs
Ryan Mossakowski - Frisco Centennial

I dont know much about either of these QBs other than they are on rivals top 100.

[TheBigPeach]

imgonna be a homer and say, watch out for Kyle Padron!

[Trinity Trojan Fan For Li]

I'm gonna be a homer, too, and say Denarius McGhee - Trinity. As a junior QB, he won the state championship and all Trinity fans are excited about the 2008 season with him in control again.

How can you leave Carson Meger, Plano High off this list!?

[drgnbkr]

I was referring to 2009 QBs that will be starters next year as juniors. But...yes Padron will be up there once he gets his shot.

Padron will be one of the best in the state, but Kyle Williamson and David Piland, both Jr's, could start for most programs in the state so, Carroll will be loaded, once again, at the QB position..

[TXFOOSBALL]

How can you leave Carson Meger, Plano High off this list!?

Sorry...I made this list a year and a half ago. I need to edit some info.

[fitz400]

yeahh proctor wasnt the best thrower but in a game situation when he gets momentum he is near perfect, it is because of his "no arm" that we came back against cy-fair at the regional championship with an al throwing drive. but besides that is why he is playing quarterback at OU, and im pretty sure he could smash russel shepard in a real game lol

[mojotrain]

The OHS quarterback, Teagarden reminds me of Sammy Baugh.

[stinger]

The Trinity fans are so greatful that McHee is being passed up. He led the team tgo the state title as a junior. He improved head over heels every game. Just ask his victims. Hide and watch...you will see what I speak of.

[CyFallsMom]

This Kid Named Kolby. He's A Monster. He Hurt Himself In The Weight Room Though.....

I'm going to throw him in there too. Kolby Gray has such an arm on him. This was his first full year of varsity and I think he proved himself. Of course, it takes more than a QB to make a team - whomever is surrounding Kolby will be a big part of his and their success this year. Losing Turner, Wells, Bolden and Shaw is big but there was definitely some talent coming off the bench (underclassmen) on both sides of the ball last season so I'm thinking we will see a very good season out of the Eagles this year.

Hope he didn't get hurt too bad in the weight room:(

Hey Mom what happened to Gray in the Stratford game? There was a Falls Dad sitting behind us that said it looked to him like he got pulled for performance. Later I heard that he got hurt but never saw a play where it looked like he got hurt. He seemed to be fine walking the sidelines after he was pulled so it didn't make any sense to me. Do you have any inside info that care to share?

[CyFallsMom]

All I know is he was hurt during the Stratford game - my husband (a former athletic trainer) saw him come off and took one look at the way he was holding his shoulder and knew exactly what was wrong too. Unless they were doing a very good job of faking, he was hurt. I saw him throw after that and it was pitiful...there was no way he could have played. That was a bad game all around. I heard one player say it was like ice hitting them out there but Stratford had to play in the same weather - they just came better prepared that night. It happens.

I guess it was his throwing shoulder then. Wonder if that will be a problem for him this season.

[CyFallsMom]

I'm thinking he will have had some time to get over it. It's possible it could cause issues down the line but they have one of the best trainers over at Falls and if anyone can have him ready he can. I guess we'll see come spring training...if he is not 100%, I would not expect to see him much in 7 on 7 either.

[Pearland Longhorn]

He's playing CB at OU. Unless they want to put him at QB in a John Chiles type roll for a few snaps a game don't expect him to play much QB.

He was definitely the missing piece Pearland needed and was incredible to watch in HS though. Had he been at Pearland all 4 years there is no telling how much damage we could have done.

[SLC93]

I wanted to see who everyone thought were the top 5 QB's for 2009.

Here are my five:

1. Russell Shepard - Cypress Ridge
2. Garrett Gilbert - Lake Travis
3. Casey Pachel - Brownwood
4. A.J. Highsmith - Fort Bend
5. Cody Green - Dayton

OTHERS:
Tyrik Rollison - Sulphur Springs
Ryan Mossakowski - Frisco Centennial
Denarius McGhee - Trinity
Kyle Padron - Southlake Carroll
Carson Meger - Plano High
Christian Matthews - BowieShavodrick Beaver - Wichita Falls Rider
Jeffery Claybon - Lufkin
Cody Green - Dayton
John David Baker - Lake View
Jacob Karam - Friendswood
Tanner Price - Austin Westlake
Jerod Monk - Wylie

From the DFW area, the three highlighted will be making alot of headlines this season. Two are returning, known quantities. Meager and Matthews will have stellar seasons, to no one's surprise. I belivieve that Padron is going to turn a few heads also. At this point it may not be a 'suprise to see a Dragon qb do well, but Padron is a little unheralded, relatively speaking.

[SLC93]

Whoever starts for Trinity, Stetson Smith or Denarious Mcgee.

Is there really any chance Mcghee wins a state title and doesn't return as the starter? Barring an unforeseen circumstance, that's not Lineweaver's style at all.

My bad. Was paying no attention to the age of this thread. Sorry.

[ProPho]

FB Elkins: his name slips my mind but i know he ran all over the place... a true scrambling QB....

That would be Broderick Thomas for Elkins. Rumors are that the Carr's are going back to California, so if true we won't get to see Derek play QB his senior year.

[AHSeagles]

The dude from Brownwood is sick!

Oh, and add Shavodrick Beaver from Wichita Falls Rider to this list.

Casey is quite a specimen! I've watched this kid since he was a 7th grader and saw him throw the ball nearly 60 yards as a 7th grader!:eek: I haven't seen Gilbert or any of the others play, so based on that I'll take Pachall as my top.

I've seen him play 3 times and was impressed - but not to the point to where I think he's the top QB in 09. He is gonna go D1, but I think Texas did the right thing in offering Gilbert and not him.

For a while he was ranked the #90 player in the nation according to rivals. He has since dropped down but is still a solid 4 star QB. But hey, I won't mind watching him continue to wear maroon after high school. Whoop!

From the DFW area, the three highlighted will be making alot of headlines this season. Two are returning, known quantities. Meager and Matthews will have stellar seasons, to no one's surprise. I belivieve that Padron is going to turn a few heads also. At this point it may not be a 'suprise to see a Dragon qb do well, but Padron is a little unheralded, relatively speaking.

he's not even on rivals yet :cry...in fact, i don't think anyone from the '09 class of carroll is yet. just jackson richards for the '10 class! :eek:

[Trinity Trojan Fan For Li]

Whoever starts for Trinity, Stetson Smith or Denarious Mcgee.

Is there really any chance Mcghee wins a state title and doesn't return as the starter? Barring an unforeseen circumstance, that's not Lineweaver's style at all.

My bad. Was paying no attention to the age of this thread. Sorry.

It could still be a possibility only because both McGhee and Smith are juniors this year.

I think he'll be a fast riser in the class of 09. Also, I would expect for the 10 class to have a couple more Carroll representatives by the middle to end of next season.

I understand Christian Matthews is a Texas A&M commit now.

That's a steal for Aggie, imo.

[TrojanHorse03]

110% agree, I could easily see him make a rise up the recruiting rankings similar to Jacory Harris next year if not higher.

Great pick up for A&M.

[Plano Wildcat Fan]

Its kinda amazing that Garland and Garland isd players are not mentioned on this board much, I guess until some of you folks get to meet them in the second or third round. One of the best junior QBs in the state, and mentioned in EVERY list I have seen,( ecxept on this thread lol,) is Nick Florence of South Garland. South has the system and coaching that will highlight him for the next two years. I hate to admit it but he looks very good. Yall remember; Nick Florence

Who's that steller Garland Owl QB putting up big numbers? Nick is the only big time QB in the city!

[Plano Wildcat Fan]

The OHS quarterback, Teagarden reminds me of Sammy Baugh.

you must be OLD timer. Did you actually see Sammy Baugh play in the 40's?

[grayowl60]

I didnt see where you said you had seen Baugh play, buit then you dont have to, to get Plano cute to mouth off.;)

WOW, That was an old post about Nick and I was right. The ignorance just keeps flowing

[SLC93]

I was very impressed with Harris last season. That said, I think Matthews has more physical tools to work with and a similar demeanor. He's already had a great career. I fully expect him to blow up this year.

ooops

[New Westfield Fan]

Jacoby Walker - Westfield - 1st team all district as a soph. Had over 300 yds in the air vs Plano in the playoffs. the 08 season will depend on how well they rebuild the offensive line from last year.

Speaking of Plano, that Meger kid is a good one too

Kolby Gray of Cy Falls has mad skills too.

That kid from Allen looks like a good one too

[EastSIDE]

Here are my five:


1. Garrett Gilbert - Lake Travis
2. Russell Shepard - Cypress Ridge
3. Casey Pachel - Brownwood
4. A.J. Highsmith - Fort Bend
5. Cody Green - Dayton

2nd Wave:
Ryan Mossakowski - Frisco Centennial
Denarius McGhee - Trinity
Kyle Padron - Southlake Carroll
Tyrik Rollison - Sulphur Springs

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

Casey is quite a specimen! I've watched this kid since he was a 7th grader and saw him throw the ball nearly 60 yards as a 7th grader!:eek: I haven't seen Gilbert or any of the others play, so based on that I'll take Pachall as my top.

I'll be gassing up quite a bit this year to see some games in that district. I'll definitely be at the Brownwood/Graham game to see Casey go head to head with the other McCoy.

That's at least 16 of the top 30 that have graduated. I'm going to be a homer and say look out for Matt Dodds of Austin Bowie. He was #29 on that list. He had some decent numbers in 9 games. The offense will be a lot more potent next season, I believe.

[chosen1]

How can you not have Kenny Guiton from IKE on list this kid put up some good numbers this year and did alot for his team.

[PurpleStorm]

I'll give you guys a kid we've been looking at from the Rio Grand Valley.
Weslaco Panthers
Dylan DeLeon
51/105 / 1151 yards / 21 passing touchdowns / 6 int. / 293 yards rushing / 5 tds
Stats don't WOW you but played under Mishak Rivas shadow for last two seasons and plays in a slot T offense. Still has 51 total touchdowns as a soph and jr. Graduates 2009 class.

2008 Highlight: 4 touchdown pass game against San Antonio Madison.

Plays alot like Bo Levi Mitchell (Katy). Same kind of build and arm.

I made this list 1 year ago...before anyone took a snap in the 2007 season.

His numbers dont jump out at me but I will add him to the long list.

Are you asking who will be D-1 material, who will be the starting QB for the top 50 teams in Texas or the one who has the right fit to lead his team deep into the playoffs?

[SLC93]

Good question. Each of those would more than likely have different answers.

[AHSeagles]

That will be a great QB match up. I think the youngest McCoy boy who's Graham's QB is named Chance but I'm not positive on that, but I think he could end up better than his big brother and he's already as big as Colt was as a Senior in high school.
