Seven of the top 10 QBs in the 2028 class have committed. Here's where they're going

Quarterback is always a position of need whether it be from a national championship contender to a program in the midst of a rebuild.

At the high school football level, there's no position group that steals the headlines more than quarterbacks. Landing an elite high school prospect at the position could be the difference in that class finishing as one of the best nationally or one that falls behind.

And this is all before that prospect even takes one college snap.

Recent trends in recruiting have also seen the top quarterback prospects in each cycle come off the board much earlier than in years past. The 2028 class is a prime example of that as seven of the top 10 quarterbacks in the cycle, according to 247Sports, have already announced their college decisions.

Here's a look at those seven pledges, where they committed to and how they each fared during their sophomore seasons.
