Vote: Who has been the best freshman quarterback in Georgia so far in 2023?

We’ve plucked out nine freshmen quarterbacks in Georgia that have stood out this season.

We are just past the mid-point part of the high school football season here in the Peach State and there’s no shortage of underclassmen performing at a high level. It’s no surprise that freshmen are showing out in Georgia as that’s been the case in the past many times over. This list of underclassmen features some of the top signal callers we’ve seen or have been on the rise in Georgia. Take a look at our list and vote for who you feel has been the top performing freshman quarterback in Georgia. 

Voting closes on October 31st, 11:59pm 

Lyndon Worthy, Worth County: Worthy is the state’s leading passer among all freshmen as the quarterback has completed 86-of-140 passes for 1,317 yards, 13 touchdowns and just five interceptions. 

Teddy Jarrard, North Cobb Christian: Playing against solid competition week in and week out, Jarrard has been impressive. The signal caller has completed 91-of-148 passes for 1,148 yards and 11 touchdowns.
