Signal caller spotlight: 2017 update

Advertisement
Ranking: Mills is rated as the third-best pro-style quarterback, No. 52 overall and eighth in the Georgia state rankings.
Overview: Mills is weighing a number of options and doesn't plan to commit until spring of next year. But Stanford was the one offer he was really waiting on and as of now I can't see him passing up that opportunity. Michigan State is also a school to watch.

Tristan Gebbia
Calabasas, Calif.
Ranking: Gebbia is No. 4 at pro-style quarterback, No. 69 overall and No. 10 in the California state rankings.
Overview: Nebraska has made a big impression with Gebbia and other Calabasas standouts, so the Huskers are in good position early on. He has also visited Alabama and Arizona State this season and both teams are in contention. Gebbia is expected to visit Miami, West Virginia and possibly Oklahoma State before the end of the season. He wants to get a commitment done soon, but won't rush. Either a pro-style or spread offense is fine, so Gebbia remains open but Nebraska has put in a lot of work with him.

Dylan McCaffrey
Highlands Ranch (Colo.) Valor Christian
Ranking: McCaffrey is the No. 6 dual-threat quarterback, No. 100 overall and tops in the Colorado state rankings.
Overview: Michigan would appear to be the early leader. The level of confidence in that projection is very low given that McCaffrey plans to take his time while he gathers as much information as possible, but he thoroughly enjoyed his trip to Ann Arbor over the weekend to see the Wolverines take on rival Michigan State. It was his second visit to Michigan this year and McCaffrey has felt like a priority for the coaching staff since he landed the offer.

Chase Brice
Loganville (Ga.) Grayson
Ranking: Brice is rated as the sixth-best pro-style quarterback, No. 127 overall and No. 15 in the Georgia state rankings.
Overview: Brice might not seem like the perfect fit for the Clemson offense, but Clemson has been aggressive in their pursuit thus far and his family's relationship with Tigers coach Dabo Swinney dates back decades. Missouri and Michigan State are also schools to watch.

Keytaon Thompson
New Orleans (La.) Landry-Walker
Ranking: Thompson is rated as the seventh-best dual-threat QB, No. 146 overall and No. 7 in the Louisiana state rankings.
Overview: Thompson has great size and athleticism and plenty of college options. LSU offered this summer and it is safe to say the Tigers will be a team to watch. He plans to make his decision during the season or before spring ball and he plans to graduate in December of his senior year. It is tough to predict against the Tigers for a Louisiana standout, so LSU would be my prediction at this point.

Jake Bentley
Opelika, Ala.
Ranking: Bentley is the ninth-best pro-style quarterback, No. 160 overall and No. 7 in the Alabama state rankings
Overview: Bentley's father is on the Auburn football staff, so while he says he is keeping his options open and taking a look around, picturing him landing anywhere but Auburn is difficult. Barring something unforeseen, Bentley will be a Tiger sooner or later. There will be plenty of visits in his future and things could change, sure, but the odds are stacked in this case.

Ryan Kelley
Chandler (Ariz.) Basha
Ranking: Kelley is No. 10 at pro-style quarterback, No. 164 overall and fifth in the Arizona state rankings.
Overview: At first, Kelley intended to take his time with the recruiting process and announce a decision in the spring before his senior season. Yet, following an unofficial visit to Oregon earlier this month, the pro-style prospect told Rivals.com he intends to make a commitment by the end of this season or shortly thereafter. It might just be a coincidence, but the timing could also be great news for the Ducks. Arizona State, which he has visited a few times, and UCLA are two other contenders that also appear to be under heavy consideration.

Ty Brock
College Station, Texas
Ranking: Brock is No. 11 at pro-style quarterback, No. 188 overall and No. 28 in the Texas state rankings.
Overview: Brock broke his leg in a scrimmage before the season and is out for the year. Houston was one of the first to offer and continues to heavily recruit him. When he comes back his recruiting process will likely pick up, but the Cougars are laying a strong early foundation and are the team to watch right now.

PQB
Jack Coan
Sayville, N.Y.
Ranking: Coan is No. 12 at pro-style quarterback, No. 201 overall and second in the New York state rankings.
Overview: It is far too early to predict a favorite for Coan but he really likes Maryland, Michigan, Miami and Rutgers so far. He was hoping to land an Alabama offer and there is no real leader at this point. Coan is hoping his outstanding film from this year brings him more offers and attention, which is really hard to get on Long Island. He will be doing a lot of camps this offseason including some on the West Coast.
