Continue ReadingLast week we presented an offensive positional breakdown of the 2023 class. We will do the same for the 2022 class. We’re putting a spotlight on the top 10 quarterbacks that have made their way onto our rankings with their play on the field or at camps over the past several months.
1. Daniel Ayala Daniel Ayala 6'0" | 190 lbs | QB West Mesa | 2022 State NM , West Mesa: Our top QB in the 2022 class recently traveled to Florida with his 7×7 team out of San Antonio, TX for a prestigious national tournament. Ayala performed well, which should only boost his recruiting stock. He’s already drawing interest from colleges. Nobody personifies the revival of West Mesa football more than Ayala.
2. Dylan Quartieri Dylan Quartieri 6'1" | QB Raton | 2022 State NM , Raton: The top 2022 QB in Class 3A has the tools to excel at the next level, including size (6-2), accuracy and arm strength. He’s taken virtual visits with colleges and has been invited to play in the Hawaii Tiki Bowl in Honolulu. Quartieri and RB Cayden Walton Cayden Walton 5'9" | 180 lbs | RB Raton | 2023 State NM promise to be one of the top offensive backfields in the state this fall.
3. Brandon Furbee Brandon Furbee 6'3" | QB Farmington | 2022 State NM , Farmington: Furbee’s transfer from Grants to Farmington probably a few eyebrows around the state, but from his perspective, it makes perfect sense. Furbee desires to play at the next level and moving up a notch in competition (Class 4A to 5A) should help him. He’s 6-4, 225 pounds with a 3.92 GPA. College coaches are watching. Furbee is already competing on the summer camp and 7×7 circuits.
4. Luc Jaramillo, Santa Fe: Santa Fe only played two games this spring, so we didn’t get a chance to see Jaramillo much considering he suffered an injury in the first game against Rio Rancho. Jaramillo and RB Martell Mora Martell Mora 5'9" | 185 lbs | RB Santa Fe High | 2022 State NM will spearhead the improving Demons offense in the fall.
5. Lucas Coriz Lucas Coriz 6'2" | QB St. Michael's | 2022 State NM , St. Michael’s: If Quartieri is the top QB in Class 3A, Coriz isn’t far behind. Classic dual threat quarterback. The battle between Jaramillo and Coriz this fall will be must-see high school football.
6. Aiden Rosser Aiden Rosser 5'10" | QB Onate | 2022 State NM , Onate (Organ Mountains): The Knights are just 1-13 in the past two seasons, and their record isn’t much better over the past half dozen seasons or so. So, a guy like Rosser isn’t going to get much love. But now that Las Cruces and Centennial are breaking in new QBs for the fall, Rosser jumps to the front of the line.
7. Colton Graham Colton Graham 5'10" | 165 lbs | QB Hobbs | 2022 State NM , Hobbs: Graham enjoyed a solid spring season, especially in the final two games against Artesia and Onate. He threw for 649 yards and 5 touchdowns. Graham and WR Kaden Trevino Kaden Trevino 5'11" | 175 lbs | WR Hobbs | 2023 State NM should be a formidable duo in the fall..
8. Dallas Boyd Dallas Boyd 5'10" | 175 lbs | QB Las Cruces | 2022 State NM , Las Cruces: Boyd inherits the Bulldawgs job from Marcos Lopez Marcos Lopez 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Las Cruces | 2021 State NM , so he has large shoes to fill. But Boyd has been described by hos coach as tough and an athlete who should torment opposing defenses both running and throwing. He’ll benefit from having one of the best offensive lines in the state protecting him.
9. Anthony Mello Anthony Mello 6'1" | 195 lbs | QB Alamogordo | 2022 State NM , Alamogordo: Mello threw for 570 yards and 7 touchdowns in the spring for the Tigers. Now that prolific RB Sean Hays Sean Hays 6'0" | 205 lbs | RB Alamogordo | 2021 State NM has graduated, Alamogordo could lean on Mello and the passing game more in 2021.
10. Daniel Granados Daniel Granados QB Mayfield | 2022 State NM , Mayfield: The Trojans could have one of the most dynamic offenses in Class 5A in the fall, and directing the offense will be Granados, who has an array of weapons at his disposal. He threw for 347 yards and 3 TDs in the spring.
