As spring quickly approaches and summer visits are right around the corner, there's no better time to take a look ahead at the top prospects in the 2027 class. First up, USA TODAY High School Sports is focusing on the quarterbacks. The 2027 class looks like it could rival and maybe even surpass the talent of the 2026 QB class.

Why it matters

The quarterback position is the most sought-after in football, as a team's success rests on the shoulders of their signal-callers. The 2027 class is shaping up to be one of the most talented in recent memory, with standouts like Elijah Haven and rising stars like Andre Adams leading the way.

The details

Elijah Haven, a 6-5, 215-pound quarterback from Dunham School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is the top-ranked QB in the 2027 class. He was the 2025 Gatorade and MaxPreps Player of the Year in Louisiana, leading Dunham to a Division III state title. Other top QBs include Kavian Bryant (Texas Tech commit), Jayce Johnson (Texas A&M commit), and Andre Adams, who put up video game-like numbers for Antioch High School in Tennessee.
