There are 20 quarterbacks in the top 200 and 44 quarterbacks overall for the Class of 2023 in Missouri in the Prep Redzone database. Today we are taking a closer look at the top five quarterbacks. (Click on the player names to check out their prospect pages on PRZ, including links to their HUDL highlights.)
1. Sam Van Dyne Sam Van Dyne 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Liberty North | 2023 State MO , Liberty North
The only Class of 2023 quarterback in Missouri currently with a Division I offer (from the Missouri Tigers), Van Dyne is a tall and talented left-hander who led his team to the Missouri Class 6 championship game this fall.
Van Dyne is the No. 18 overall prospect in Missouri in the Class of 2023.
A 6-foot-3, 200-pounder, Van Dyne completed 65 percent of his passes for 2,141 yards, with 21 touchdowns against eight interceptions, and was named his conference’s offensive player of the year. He will be a player to watch during the camp circuit this offseason and then in the fall as he tries to lead his talented team back to the state championship game.
2. Gerard Grewe Gerard Grewe 6'3" | 210 lbs | QB Priory | 2023 State MO , Priory
A newcomer to the Class of 2023 rankings, Grewe enters the rankings at No. 38 overall and as the second-best quarterback prospect in his class. We know this choice could be surprising to some, considering Grewe isn’t a well-known name, but he has a unique combination of size, skill set and throwing ability that separates him from most of his peers.
A 6-3, 200-pound dual-threat quarterback who was a first-year starter this fall, Grewe completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,339 yards, with 29 touchdowns against seven interceptions, and also rushed for 1,339 yards and 18 scores. He averaged 7.2 yards per carry while running an offense that called for many quarterback runs to utilize Grewe’s size, strength and running ability.
3. Cole Feuerbacher, Glendale
A 6-2, 185-pounder, Feuerbacher put up big-time numbers this fall in Glendale’s pass-happy offense and figures to do it again next season as a senior even though he loses a few good receivers to graduation.
Feuerbacher completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,088 yards, with 35 touchdowns against five interceptions, and also rushed for a team-high 484 and three touchdowns.
4. Chris Cotton Chris Cotton 5'11" | 190 lbs | QB De Smet | 2023 State MO , De Smet
Cotton, a dual-threat 5-11, 190-pounder, made a name for himself as a quarterback at Trinity Catholic in St. Louis before transferring to De Smet after Trinity closed at the end of his sophomore year.
In his first year with the Spartans he proved he could be an impact player in one of the toughest conferences in the state. He completed 57 percent of his passes for 1,360 yards, with 17 touchdowns against six interceptions, rushed for 858 yards and five scores. Cotton averaged 11.8 yards per carry.
5. Andrew Hedgecorth Andrew Hedgecorth 5'10" | 170 lbs | QB Smithville | 2023 State MO , Smithville
Hedgecorth, a 5-10, 165-pounder, has been one of the top quarterbacks in the state for two seasons already and capped off his junior campaign by leading Smithville to 13-0 record and a state championship.
He threw for 2,309 yards and 25 touchdowns as a sophomore and then completed 69.6 percent of his passes for 2,327 yards and 28 touchdowns against three interceptions this fall as a junior. He also ran for 305 yards and eight touchdowns.
