Anthony Hall, Escambia: Hall has been one of the top leaders in passing yardage in the state with 702 yards. The Gators’ quarterback has four touchdowns to just one pick. 

Sammy Freitas, Mosley: The Dolphins’ starting quarterback has played solid under center and stayed away from turning over the football. Freitas has thrown for 492 yards and nine touchdown passes. 

Carson Hawk, South Walton: Hawk has played very well in his senior season as the quarterback has completed 30-of-56 passes for 390 yards and five touchdowns to no interceptions. 

Peyton Gay, Bozeman: A player that hasn’t received as much praise as he should for his play is Gay. The quarterback has completed 34-of-63 passes for 633 yards and eight touchdowns to zero picks. 

Wells Bettenhausen, Walton: Bettenhausen transferred to Walton from South Walton and it’s worked out nicely. The signal caller has completed 47-of-72 passes for 789 yards and seven touchdowns to just one interception. 

Nick Simmons, Pace: There might not be a quarterback as versatile at the position than Simmons. Simmons has thrown for 258 yards, four touchdowns and also rushed for 396 and two scores. 

Jesse Winslette, Choctawhatchee: The Indians’ senior signal caller has played strong for the team under center, throwing for 416 yards and three touchdowns. 

Taite Davis, Tate: Got to like how Tate has played this season behind the play of Davis, who has completed 28-of-39 passes for 509 yards and six touchdowns to just one interception. 

John Nicholas, West Florida: One of the most efficient signal callers in the Panhandle has been Nicholas, who has thrown for 562 yards and seven touchdowns to just one interception.

Battle Alberson, Gulf Breeze: Alberson has been the focal point of the Dolphins’ offense as the quarterback has thrown for 522 yards and four touchdowns. 

Hunter Pfiester, Navarre: The Raiders quarterback has been doing it with his arm and legs, throwing for 288 yards, four touchdowns and 107 on the ground.
