On Your Heels; Top Guns Go For Top Spot On Week #6 QB Club Rankings

Northeast Fl- Theres been alot of movement on the Top 10 list this week. Whether it’s injuries or return from injuries, or poor play, the week 6 list look totally different than the week 5 list. As the Top Guns sling the football around mid-season, check out who made the quarterback club this week.

* -Denotes player’s first time on the list this year

#1. 2024 QB DJ Moore Jr- Bolles, 6’0, 155lbs (3-Star QB)<—- Click to see player profile

Week 5 at Oakleaf- Moore makes a huge leap over several quarterbacks this week, as he continues to be on fire. Last week he did it with his legs against Trinity, and this week he did it with his arm against Oakleaf. DJ passed for 266yds, 3 TDs, and 0 Ints versus a previously undefeated Oakleaf team.

Week 4 Home versus Trinity- DJ Moore returns to the club after the loss to Brunswick in emphatic fashion. Moore led his team to an upset victory over Trinity Christian. Bolles was winless and down in the fourth quarter when Moore took matters into his own hands and ran it in for the eventual game winning touchdown. He finished with 126 passing yards, and 37 rushing yards with 2 TDs on the ground.

Week 2 Away vs Mandarin- Passed for 182 yds, 4 TDs, 1 Int also rushed for 50yds. Moore makes his first appearance in the QB Club. Even with 2 losses, he’s played very well in both tough contests. (Last Week Unranked)

Week 1 Home vs St. Augustine- Passing 123yds, 2 TDs, 1 Int; loss


#2. QB 2025 Cibastian Broughton-Fleming Island, 6’0, 170lbs, (3-Star QB)

Cibastian Broughton

Week 5 Away vs Titusville- Cibastian once again looked like a Madden created player on film, passing for over 200 yards and running for over 125 yards versus a tough Titusville . (206yds passing 1 TD, 126yds rushing 1 TD). He keeps closing in on the top spot with ever performance, nd is right on their heels. The only thing stopping him, is getting the Wins for his team.

Week 4 Away vs Oakleaf- Broughton brought with him spectacular plays courtesy of his arm and especially his legs. He passed for 180 yds 1 TD and rushed for 92 yards in the loss. A Duval Sports coorespondent at the game is quoted in saying, “Broughton reminds me of Jordan Travis”. High praise for the junior, who deserved to move higher on the list this week.

Week 3 BYE– Broughton moves up in the rankings although he did not have a game last week. He’s been consistent against inconsistent teams. A true test lies this week against rival Oakleaf.

Week 2 Away vs NFEI- “Worm” as they affectionately call Ciabstian Broughton, accounted for 161 total yards and 3 total TDs versus overmatched NFEI. Enough to keep him in the club, but not enough to move up. (Last Week Rank #6)

Week 1 Home vs Clay– Broughton brought the touchdown arm into week 1 versus Clay tossing 5 touchdowns. He finished the the game with 183yds connecting with 4 different receivers.


#3. QB 2026 Edward Jordan- Beachside, 5’11, 180lbs

Week 5 Home vs Ridgeview- Congratulations are in order for Beachside quarterback Edward Jones who picked up a Houston offer this week. The prolific pocket passer picked apart Ridgeview, passing for 271 yards and 5 TDs! He falls this week, but not of his own doing. In order to move up, we have to see him against better defenses.

Week 4 Home vs Sebastian River- It’s time for everyone to recognize what Edward Jordan of Beachside is doing. Against Sebastian River last week, Jordan passed for 342 yards, 3 TDs, 1 Int. It is his second time passing for over 300 yards this season, and he’s eclipsed at least 200 yards passing in every game. A trusted source who attended one of his games told me “Mannnn!!! He’s Top 5 in the area easily!!!”.

Week 3 – We welcome a newcomer to the Quarteback club and he’s earned the right to be here. He is currently the #17 ranked passer in the state with 776 yards. He is tied for tops in Northeast Florida for TD passes (9) to only 3 interceptions. Against Menendez, Edward Jordan passed for 3 touchdowns, his third consecutive game with the hat trick (including 3 TDS vs Tocoi week 1).


#4.  QB 2024 Rodney Tisdale Jr– First Coast, 6’2.5, 173lbs Western Kentucky Commit<– Click to view player profile

Week #5 Away vs Westside- We told you Tisdale would tear it up and he did to the tune of 267yds passing, 4 TDs, with 80 rushing yds and a 1 TD. He moves into the Top 5 with another 5 TD performance, albeit against Westside.

Week 4 Home versus Riverside- Quite possibly the best performance stat wise in week 4 came from Rodney Tisdale Jr. The senior passed for 277 yards 3 TDs and 0 Ints versus Riverside. Yet, the Generals picked up the win and the Bucs fell to 0-3. Look for Tisdale to tear it up next week against a winless Westside and put up some big quarterback numbers.

Week 3 Bye– Although he was on a bye, Tisdale still ranks 29th in the state in passing yards (706yds) with 6 TDs and 4 Ints.

Week 2 Home vs Williston- Passing: 321yds, 3 TDs, 2 Ints, Big passing yards and multiple TDs again for Tisdale. But another loss for the team as a whole. Tisdale will have to show that his passing yards aren’t just from playing from behind in games. (Last Week Rank #4)

Week 1 Away vs Bishop Kenny- Tisdale scored all 3 touchdowns for First Coast and all 3 were touchdown passes. A screen pass of 40yds, a corner fade on the run for 20yds, and a 80yd pass on the run while evading pressure. Very Impressive!


* #5. 2024 Dylan Cook, St. Augustine, 5’9, 165lbs <——- Click to view his player profile

Week 5 Home vs Bartram Trail- Dylan Cook, in  just his second start ever, passed for 3 touchdowns to three different receivers, 0 interceptions, and led St. Augustine to their first win over Bartram Trail in five years. Cook serves as the backup quarterback for St. Augustine, but the way he’s played as a starter has proven that he could start for every other team in Northeast, Florida. In two games, Cook has passed for 7 touchdowns to just 1 interception, all while galvanizing his team to wins. 


#6. QB 2024 Riley Trujillo 6’3, 215lbs- Bartram Trail, UCF Commit

Week 5 Away vs St. Augustine- We welcome back Riley Trujillo to the Top 10 after a 300-yard 2 TD perfromance against rival St. Augustine. He couldn’t bring home a win for his team, but he showed that he’s ready to tear it up in the second half of his senior season.

Week 1 Away vs Ponte Vedra- This wasn’t the start statistically that Riley Trujillo wanted to his senior season, but he led his team to a win. Ponte Vedra is a good team this year, so passing for 104yds, 1 TD, will increase as the year goes on. He still had 76yds rushing and a TD.


#7. QB 2025 Tramell Jones Jr, Mandarin 6’1, 185lbs, Florida State Commit <– Click to view player profile

Week #5 Away vs Creekside- It was a rough night for our former #1 QB in the club Tramell Jones. Jones passed for 186 yards and 2 TDs. But he also tossed an interception in the game, and Mandarin lost their first game of the season. He’ll bounce back up the list in no time.

Week 4 Home vs Atlantic Coast- 168 yards passing, and 2 passing TDs in short work against the Stingrays. Jones wasn’t asked to do much, and still tossed a touchdown in the firs tquarter and one in the fourth to cap the game. He remains atop the list as his team is undefeated.

Week 3 Away vs Riverside – We have a new number one quarterback atop the club. Tramell Jones Jr passed for 307 yards, 4 TDs, 1 Int on the road. Found his top receiver Jaime Ffrench Jr for 3 TDs. Jones is now tied for the most touchdown passes by a Northeast Florida Quarterback (9).

Week 2 Home vs Bolles- Passed for 183 yards, 3 TDS, 0 INTs, leading his team from 21-points behind for the win. Showed lot’s of poise and comeback ability in the game. This team is so confident, and that’s thanks to who is under center. (Last Week Rank #5)

Week # 1 Home vs Fletcher– Mandarin came out in a run-heavy offense with Jones on the bench. Even with his arm not initially being part of the game plan, Jones still passed for 257 yards and a TD.


#8. 2024 QB Brandon Wallace Jr, Oakleaf 6’0, 185lbs

Week 5 Home Versus Bolles- Wallace falls slightly this week after losing to Bolles at home. It’s a team game of course, but Wallace tossed 2 interceptions in the game. He still finished with 295-yards passing and 2 TDs.

Week 4 Home versus Fleming Island- Wallace is making a big jump this week, and it’s truly deserved. He led Oakleaf over Fleming Island, scoring a touchdown on the ground and another through the air. He combined for 149 total yards of offense in a game that saw the Knights pound the rock with running backs.

Week 3 Bye– Two weeks off can either make for good rest or good rust. We’ll see with his showdown against Clay county rival Fleming Island tonight.

Week 2– Rescheduled

Week 1 Home vs Orange Park- Wallace had an incredible first week against Orange Park accounting for 5 total TDs. He passed for 162yds, with 3 passing TDs. He also had 2 rushing TDs. The QB field was crowded last week, however Wallace’s performance was to good to keep out of the club in week 2. Watch out as the senior makes plays out in Oakleaf. (Last Week Unranked)


#9. QB 2024 Jaylen Pettway- Ed White, 6’3, 220lbs

Week #5 Away vs Riverside- 29th in the state in passing, the number don’t lie Jaylen Pettway is one of the top passers in Florida. Ed White hasn’t had this in a very long time at the QB position. He passed for 377yds, 2 TDS, and 1 Int in a loss to rival Riverside.

Week 3 Away vs Englewood- Another new comer finally makes the list after near misses the past few weeks. Jaylen Pettway knocked some worthy candidates off the list with his Week 3 performance against Englewood. The senior passed for 227 yards, 4 TDs and 1 Int. He found three different receivers defeating previously undefeated Englewood. By the numbers, Pettway is one of the top 50 passers in the state.


#10. 2024 QB Ty’ren Randolph- Raines 6’0, 163lbs

Week #5 Home vs Trinity Catholic- We welcome back Ty’ren Randolph to the QB club after an awesome showing against the Celtics. He accumulated 269-yards and 3 TDs passing, while also having 1 TD rushing with 59-yards on the ground. What a night for him.

Week 1 Away vs University Christian- Ty’ren Randolph entered the chat as the top QB in the area conversation. After his 2 touchdown performance against University Christian, (178yds, 1 TD passing, 36 Rush yds 1 TD) Randolph showed he is truly a dual threat and trusts his weapons on offense.
