This article covers my final rankings for the 2023 cycle’s QB class.
The 5-Stars
1. Malachi Nelson, USC, 5 star — The best player in this class, smooth at everything.
2. Dante Moore, UCLA, 5 star — He’s close to Nelson, so efficient for a high school player.
3. Christopher Vizzina, Clemson, 5 star — I like him better than most, he has the arm and mobility.
4. Nicholaus Iamaleava, Tennessee 5 star — He makes no mistakes and sees the field as well as anyone.
5. Jackson Arnold, Oklahoma, 5 star — His arm is elite and arguably the best in this class.
The 4-Stars
6. Austin Novosad, Oregon, 4-star — Not far off the bigger name guys. 5-star potential.
7. Jaden Rashada, Arizona State, 4 star — He’s inconsistent but his ceiling is very high.
8. Arch Manning, Texas, 4 star — He’s good, don’t get me wrong. He could be amazing but he’s not elite yet.
9. Eli Holstein, Alabama, 4-star — He’s a game manager who doesn’t make many mistakes.
10. Marcel Reed, Texas A&M, 4 star — Seems to be underrated in this industry.

11. Dylan Lonergan, Alabama, 4 star — The better of the two ‘Bama QBs in my mind, he and Holstein create a great 1-2 punch.
12. Pierce Clarkson, Louisville, 4 star — Not only a great talent but a great recruiter and super smart.
13. Brock Glenn, Florida State, 4 star — He’s very good and a solid late addition to this class.
14. Brayden Dorman, Arizona, 4 star — Arizona has a long way to go but don’t sleep on this commit.
15. Avery Johnson, Kansas State, 4 star — Johnson is higher elsewhere but he’s up and down at times.
16. JJ Kohl, Iowa State, 4 star — Huge kid with a big arm but needs refinement.

19. Rickie Collins, LSU, 4 star – Perfect fit for Brian Kelly as he’s smart and won’t make mistakes.
20. Malachi Singleton, Arkansas, 4 star — A determined kid with a chip on his shoulder is great for Sam Pittman.
21. Chris Parson, Mississippi State, 4 star — He’s raw as heck but that ceiling is high.
22. Tad Hudson, UNC, 4 star — Overlooked in this class but very good.
23. Zane Flores, Oklahoma State, 4 star — He shows flashes of greatness but needs to be more consistent.
24. Gabarri Johnson, Missouri, 4 star – Low-key one of the steals of this class.
