The Prestine Scouting Top 22 Freshman Quarterbacks in Florida – Girls Flag Football (2026)

The future of girls flag football in the state of Florida has never been brighter.

Every season, a new generation of quarterbacks steps onto the field looking to prove they belong. While many freshmen are expected to learn behind veteran players, this year's class shattered expectations. Across the state, freshman quarterbacks led playoff runs, captured district championships, advanced through regional competition, reached the Final Four, and even competed for state championships. Several demonstrated the poise, leadership, football IQ, and confidence normally seen in experienced upperclassmen.

The Prestine Scouting Top 22 Freshman Quarterbacks in Florida recognizes the most outstanding first-year high school quarterbacks based on their complete body of work throughout the 2026 season.

Our rankings are not determined by statistics alone. Every quarterback was evaluated using multiple criteria, including:

• Regular season performance

• Strength of schedule and quality of competition

• District Championship performance

• Regional playoff performance

• Final Four and State Championship performances

• Passing efficiency and decision-making

• Accuracy and ball placement

• Arm strength and throwing mechanics

• Football IQ and progression reads

• Leadership under pressure

• Ability to elevate teammates in critical moments

• Overall impact on team success

While passing yards and touchdowns are important, they only tell part of the story. Championships are won because of preparation, consistency, and the ability to perform when the stakes are highest. We value quarterbacks who remain composed under pressure, protect the football, make winning decisions, and consistently give their teams an opportunity to succeed.

Florida continues to set the national standard in girls flag football, and this freshman class is another reminder that the future of the sport is in excellent hands. Several of these athletes are already among the most talented young quarterbacks in the country and have the potential to become household names before their high school careers are over.

After evaluating performances throughout the regular season, district tournaments, regional playoffs, Final Four, and the FHSAA State Championships, these are Prestine Scouting's Top 22 Freshman Quarterbacks in the State of Florida.
