Julian Sayin – Alabama

On300 ranking: No. 6

Stats: 75-95 (78.9%), 1,031 yards (10.8 YPA), 13 TD, 0 INT, 17 rushes for 124 yards, 2 TD

Julian Sayin has lived up to his reputation as the most accurate quarterback in the cycle to this point. The Alabama pledge had the best showing on the summer camp circuit among blue-chip quarterbacks and has parlayed that play into his senior season. He’s shown pinpoint location leading his Carlsbad (Calif.) High team to a 5-0 start. The game is moving slowly for Sayin. We’ve also seen Sayin show more improvisational ability early on this season – an element we were looking for him to improve upon during his final prep campaign. Sayin was minted as a Five-Star Plus+ prospect during the summer.

DJ Lagway – Florida

On300 ranking: No. 20

Stats: 80-109 (73.4%), 1,257 yards (11.5 YPA), 17 TD, 3 INT, 29 rushes for 207 yards, 4 TD

DJ Lagway may be off to the hottest start among all 2024 quarterbacks. The 6-foot-2.5, 230-pounder has put together the best stretch of play of his high school career to date. Lagway is averaging a gaudy 367 total yards and 5.25 touchdowns per game. Perhaps most importantly, the film matches the numbers so far. Lagway has made some sensational individual plays with his arm and legs. He continues to look like the best off-platform passer in the cycle, but is also showing some improvement with his consistency from the pocket and operating within structure. Lagway recently rose to the No. 2 quarterback and No. 20 overall prospect in the updated On300.

Dylan Raiola – Georgia

On300 ranking: No. 33

Stats: 53-83 (63.9%), 799 yards (9.6 YPA), 8 TD, 0 INT, 9 rushes for -60 yards, 0 TD

Dylan Raiola made headlines in the summer when he transferred to powerhouse Buford High in Georgia for his senior season. He continues to show arguably the best deep ball in the cycle. The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder is at his best when he has time to take vertical shots downfield. He’s also shown some toughness and willingness to stand in the pocket and take hits. Moving forward, we’d like to see Raiola continue to settle into the Buford offense. He could also stand to show more mobility and escapability against pressure as he’s totaled -152 rushing yards over the past two seasons. Raiola and Buford are likely to play deep into the postseason, so many tests remain.

Miles O’Neill – Texas A&M

On300 ranking: No. 63

Stats: 23-29 (79.3%), 564 yards (19.4 YPA), 5 TD, 0 INT, 2 rushes for 15 yards

Miles O’Neill has been impressive two games into his season at Princeton (N.J) The Hun School. The 6-foot-4.5, 220-pounder has one of the biggest arms in the cycle. He’s delivered some beautiful balls into tight windows 40+ yards downfield. The accuracy he previously at Marblehead (Mass.) High has transferred over to this new setting. O’Neill is primarily playing from under center at The Hun School and has shown crisp footwork and refined drops. The pocket movement and mobility when facing pressure look good thus far. It’s a smaller sample size, but O’Neill is playing well to start the season.

Cutter Boley – Kentucky

On300 ranking: No. 110

Stats: 87-144 (60.4%), 1,196 yards (8.3 YPA), 6 TD, 4 INT, 30 rushes for 125 yards, 4 TD

A one-time 2025 prospect, Cutter Boley reclassified back into the 2024 cycle upon his commitment to Kentucky during the offseason. The 6-foot-5, 200-pounder has shown his strong downfield arm. He plays in a scheme that bears some resemblance to what Kentucky currently runs under offensive coordinator Liam Cohen. We’ve also seen Boley rush more than previously. Similar to last season, he could stand to cut down on his interceptions and continue to hone his overall consistency.

Ryan Puglisi – Georgia

On300 ranking: No. 119

Stats: 14-26 (53.8%), 162 yards (6.2 YPA), 1 TD, 1 INT, 4 rushes for 12 yards

Ryan Puglisi has played just one official game, with his Avon (Conn.) Avon Old Farms falling to Miles O’Neill and The Hun School in their opener. Puglisi and Avon Old Farms couldn’t get anything going on offense, with the lone touchdown and majority of the offensive production coming on the last few drives of the game. It’s a very, very small sample size for the live-armed Puglisi, so we’ll be closely monitoring the rest of his season from here on out.

Walker White – Auburn

On300 ranking: No. 182

Stats: 46-93 (49.5%), 732 yards (7.9 YPA), 10 TD, 3 INT, 15 rushes for 85 yards, 2 TD

Walker White is one of the more physically-gifted On300 quarterbacks with a strong arm, good mobility and a college-ready build. He’s shown some of those tools early on as a senior at Little Rock (Ark.) Little Rock Christian Academy. Similar to last season, White needs to show improvement with his decision-making and ball placement. White and Little Rock Christian have a big game against Pulaski Academy this week.

Jake Merklinger – Tennessee

On300 ranking: No. 200

Stats: 44-67 (65.7%), 858 yards (12.8 YPA), 12 TD, 0 INT, 16 rushes for 156 yards, 3 TD

Jake Merklinger continues to play at a high level on Friday nights. The game moves slowly for the Savannah (Ga.) Calvary Christian signal caller. Merklinger is a sound decision-maker and always reacted well under pressure. There’s a natural feel and ease. He will not stack up as a top arm talent in this group but is an efficient, steady signal caller.

Aidan Glover – Missouri

On300 ranking: No. 248

Stats: 72-105 (68.6%), 1,126 yards (10.7 YPA), 14 TD, 1 INT, 34 rushes, 126 yards, 4 TD

Aidan Glover earned his fourth star and moved into the On300 after a strong start to his senior season at Collierville (Tenn.) High. The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder is one of the more physically-gifted prospects in this group, with a strong arm and speed that clocked in the 4.6’s on the camp circuit. Like several relative late-risers, Glover was a first year starter as a junior. He’s taken his game to another level early on this fall, putting up raw stats while also playing efficiently. The Memphis native has made some exceptional individual plays, showing high-level functional athleticism, escapability and improvisation when under pressure.
