The Texas High School football season is near. Here are my the top uncommitted class of 2026 quarterback recruits to know going into this 2025 season, who could land more offers and commit during or after the season.
#1. Romin Seymour, QB, Ridge Point, 6-3.5 / 175
Romin is a dual-threat quarterback with the arm talent to make all the throws at every level of the field. Currently, many Division I programs, including Baylor, Colorado State, the Florida Gators, and Texas A&M, are interested in him, among his 12 total offers. Seymour is a quarterback with a wealth of experience; as a three-year varsity starter, he has amassed over 3,000 passing yards (3,121) and 23 touchdowns. However, he needs to limit his turnovers, as he currently has 18 total interceptions throughout his career.
#2. Grant Smith, QB, Grand Oaks, 6-3.5 / 205
At 6-foot-4, Grant checks off a lot of the boxes as a next-level quarterback. He has a tall, lengthy frame with deep-ball capabilities and an effortless distribution of the football. He displays good ball placement, a quick release, and a solid three-step drop. He really sells the play action well and can hurt defenses from the pocket. A three-star prospect and our 8th-ranked quarterback overall in the class of 2026 here in the Lone Star state.
#3. Ziondre Williams, QB, Anna, 5-11 / 165
Williams is a dual-threat quarterback with amazing arm talent from the pocket as well as running with the football. The only knock on him, if any, is that he is not the biggest or tallest, standing at 5-foot-11. He’s not your prototypical quarterback but he can get the job done regardless. Schools are still recruiting him as a quarterback, and he has 7 total Division I offers at the moment from schools like North Texas, Pitt, Southern Miss, and Texas State, to name a few. A track athlete as well as a football player. In 2024, Ziondre scored defenses through the air with 3,203 yards passing, an eye-popping 37 passing touchdowns, and only 2 interceptions. As well as I mentioned, being a threat on the ground, putting up 1,107 yards rushing and 14 total touchdowns rushing alone. Combining his season stats both through the air and on the ground, he is an impressive quarterback prospect who can produce at a high level.
#4. Jett Surratt, QB, Carthage, 6-1 / 170
A three-star prospect with 6 total Division I offers at the moment from schools like Colorado State, Houston, Texas Tech, UNLV, and others. In 2024, Surratt led his team to a 15-1 overall record and a Texas 4A, DII State championship with 3,380 yards passing and an unbelievable 53 passing touchdowns.
#5. Nelson Peterson Jr., QB Forney, 6-2 / 185
A three-star prospect with 8 total Division I offers, a multi-sport athlete that dominates on Friday nights. Brother is a former NFL running back, whom you may have heard of, Adrian Peterson. If you watched any of Forney’s games last year, you will know that Peterson can put the ball on the rope to receivers down the field and has elite athleticism running with the ball, with his speed and athleticism bearing out on the field. In 2024, he through for 2,298 yards, 26 touchdowns through the air with only 5 interceptions, with an additional 731 yards rushing and 7 rushing touchdowns.
#6. Jayden Maples, QB, Wakeland, 6-1.5 / 195
Jayden is a quarterback gem flying under the radar, but not for long, as a breakout season is on the horizon for him. As we have mentioned him along with other potential breakout quarterbacks, Jayden was among the best to gain a lot of attention this season and land on many college football programs this fall. A three-star rated quarterback that holds three Division I offers from schools like Arkansas State, Southern Miss, and SFA. In 2024, Maples threw for 2,804 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions with 215 completions on 325 attempts.
#7. Cole Taylor, QB, Pflugerville, 6-4 / 210
Cole is a multi-sport athlete and a coach’s son who dominates on the baseball diamond as well as on the football field. We really believe this kid is special and can play at the Division I FBS to FCS level. He has the arm talent, the athleticism, and a high football IQ to play on Saturdays.
#8. Kaden Stefek, QB, Hutto, 6-3 / 197
Hutto has a special quarterback in Stefek, flying severely under the radar. He can make all of the throws, control the offense, and march the ball down the field.
Let us know in the comments who else should be on this list, and why or if we missed anyone.
