Who's Next? Elite 11 Underclassmen Provide Glimpse into QB Future

The University of Georgia is locked up on the quarterback front for the foreseeable future.

They have stacked their current roster with immense talent at the position led by JT Daniels, 2020 signee Carson Beck and 2021 signee Brock Vandagriff.

Then there's 2022 commit Gunner Stockton on the way. It appears the future is extremely bright at the position. However, that's not stopping Georgia from turning its eyes to the 2023 and 2024 class of signal-callers.

Sunday in Carrolton, Ga., we got a look at some of the best young talents in both classes at the Elite 11 Regional. So, we introduce you to the next wave of quarterback targets for Georgia.

Jadyn Davis, 2024: Catawba Ridge, S.C.

Our underclassman top performer at the Elite 11 Regional, Davis is 6-foot-2, 185 pounds as a rising sophomore, and has a smooth yet explosive throwing motion. He received his first offer the summer headed into his eighth-grade year from head coach Nick Saban at Alabama. He was so impressive at the Tide's summer camp that Alabama offered. Now, Georgia, Oregon, Maryland and South Carolina have also joined the mix.

The 2024 class is expected to be loaded at the quarterback position in the southeast. At this early look, from what I've seen Davis is at the top of the list.

Watch for yourself.

Malachi Singleton, 2023: North Cobb, Ga.

Singleton is a young quarterback that we introduced to our readers here on Dawgs Daily in June, 2020. Six months later in December, he received an offer from Georgia. Miami, Oregon, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech are among the other schools that have expressed interest after a dominant sophomore season at North Cobb.

Singleton has shown the ability to be deadly accurate, winning the Pro Day competition at the Elite 11 on Sunday, although he also provides a level of explosiveness in the run game.

Raheim Jeter, 2023: Spartanburg, N.C.

Jeter is an impressive 6-foot-4, 230 pounds. I first saw him as a freshman at this same event a year ago. He was big then, noticeably more of a physical presence than his freshman peers. And he looks even better as a sophomore. He's lost a bit of that bad weight kids tend to have, a credit to his year of work in between the camps.

His sophomore tape is filled with deep shot after deep shot, and he's added a level of athleticism to his game. He received an offer from Georgia while James Coley was the quarterbacks coach, and was on campus for the Missouri game for a visit in 2019 as a freshman.

Other Names in Attendance:

Grayson Loftis, 2023: Gaffney, S.C.

I'm big on in-person evaluation as a scout. I feel that if you are going to decide which player is better, especially at the quarterback position, you have to go see that person work or play in person. It's the only way to see the intangible aspects of a player.

Things like watching Loftis taking mental reps all day long at every single drill. And performing extremely well to boot. He is a smart young football player that's immensely talented and already understands the mental portion of the game.

Tad Hudson, 2023: Hough, N.C.

In-person evaluations will provide a strong indication of character, work ethic, etc. for any player. But for a quarterback, it's all of those things plus the life of the ball coming off his hands.

Hudson is a player that has an unorthodox throwing motion, but the ball explodes off his hands from every platform and every angle.

It's truly a joy to watch.

RJ Johnson, 2023: Westlake, Ga.

Johnson played with some of the best talent in the country as a sophomore a year ago — Dacarri Collins, Jacquez Smith, Leo Blackburn and Nate Wiggins, all Power 5 players — and he capitalized on every opportunity he was given. Johnson finished third in the entire state of Georgia in passing yards.

Brock Vandagriff, 2021: 4,169 Yards, 356 attempts
Sam Horn, 2022: 3,910 yards, 552 attempts
RJ Johnson, 2023: 3,197 yards, 268 attempts
Gunner Stockton, 2023: 3,128 yards, 317 attempts

That's two Georgia commits in Vandagriff and Stockton, with Missouri thrown in the mix as well with Sam Horn. That's a lot of firepower, and I expect to see Johnson begin to rack up the same offer sheets as those on that leaderboard with him.
