The QBs are worth the price of admission at CKC

After a seemingly down year of quarterback prospects in the state of Georgia in 2010, this year promises some high profile signal-callers and some major college recruiters on Georgia high school campuses all season long with stopwatches and clipboards. Fans will get a chance right off the bat to see several exciting quarterback prospects at the Corky Kell Classic this Saturday.

Scotty Hosch will be running North Gwinnett’s offense without having to share the duties with C.J. Uzomah as he did one year ago. Hosch was impressive enough as a junior to even take time away from Uzomah, now at Auburn, to lead Georgia Public Broadcasting recruiting expert and co-host of 790 The Zone’s The Official Visit Scott Janovitz to declare that Hosch should have been the full-time starter one year ago. Though the offers haven’t poured in for Hosch as they did for Uzomah and Mike Tamburo before him, expect the rising senior to receive plenty of attention before National Signing Day in February…

Grayson quarterback Nick Schuessler at one point was the top quarterback in all of Gwinnett County based on the NCAA & NFL passing efficiency rating system, despite playing in a run-first system. Expect Grayson coach Mickey Conn and his new offensive coordinator to perhaps tweak the offensive scheme to better take advantage of Schuessler this year…

McEachern’s Trent Thompson split time at quarterback the last two seasons but this year the lefty should get an exclusive shot at the job. Thompson has given his verbal pledge to Georgia State. He may see his numbers and attention climb this year as he feeds Maryland-bound Amba Etta-Tawo the ball this year…

The most high-profile of the quarterbacks in the Corky Kell Classic may be Lassiter junior Eddie Printz. The 2012 prospect already has SEC and ACC powers studying his film and he could be Georgia’s top QB prospect one year from now…

Other quarterbacks to watch out for in this senior class include Coffee’s Will Gardner (Louisville), Wayne County’s Greyson Lambert (Virginia), ML King’s Jonquel Dawson, and Callaway’s Ricky Parks (Auburn, to play TE).
