However, lesser known quarterbacks are going unnoticed and unrecognized even though they have plenty of talent. These QB’s can find success at the next level if they have a strong group of offensive weapons. Here are the top underrated QB’s in the 2021 NC class:
Austin Grier Austin Grier 5'11" | 185 lbs | QB Vance | 2021 State NC , QB, 5’11 and 200 lbs, Zebulon B Vance
Grier is an athletic QB that is so good at making defenders miss and using his legs to pick up huge yardage on the ground. He is also an accurate passer that excels at sideline throws and passes over the middle of the field. Austin has the ability to confuse the defense with his eyes and then deliver a pass with perfect ball placement to his WR’s deep. He has excellent footwork when dropping back and possesses elite pocket presence in the backfield. Grier has 3 offers right now that include Dartmouth.
Gavin Kuld Gavin Kuld 6'5" | 220 lbs | QB High Point Christian | 2021 NC , QB, 6’5 and 212 lbs, High Point Christian Academy
Kuld is a big-armed QB that showcases an easy throwing motion and impressive throw power. He is a tough player that can take hits then get right back up and always finishes his runs. Gavin is a patient quarterback that is very good at leading his wide receivers in stride and away from opposing defenders. He constantly finds the open man and can adjust his arm angle to make certain throws. Kuld has 2 offers currently including Lenoir-Rhyne.
Matthew Tuomala Matthew Tuomala 6'2" | 185 lbs | QB Charlotte Christian | 2021 State NC , QB, 6’1 and 190 lbs, Charlotte Christian HS
Tuomala is a scrambling QB that can get around pass rushers and escape from the pocket. He is really accurate with the touch pass and delivers perfect throws while on the run. His best quality has to be his short accuracy, as Matthew consistently places the ball out in front of his WR’s on screen plays. Tuomala knows how to read the defense and find the soft spots in Zone and Man Coverage. Only has 1 offer to this point.
Evan Bernard Evan Bernard 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Cuthbertson | 2021 State NC , QB, 6’1 and 185 lbs, Cuthbertson HS
Bernard is a long-throwing QB that leads his wide receivers perfectly on deep passes because of his elite arm strength. He has the ability to fit throws into tight windows and is constantly moving his feet like Peyton Manning did. Evan is so good at avoiding sacks and uses his quickness to escape from pass rushers. He finds the open man on almost every play and is best at throws across the middle (slants/hitches).
