SAN ANTONIO – Two days of action at the All-American Bowl has provided us with the opportunity to see take in four practices – three within each team and a joint session on Wednesday afternoon. The quarterbacks on hand for this event are better as a group than what we’ve seen in an all-star event the past few cycles. Each has had his fair share of strong moments, making it a difficult task to order the group.

With that said, here’s how we’d order the quarterbacks based on their performance through the first two days with the caveat that it could and likely will change as the week progresses.

1. Bryce Young

High School: Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei

College: Alabama

247Sports Composite: 6

Young has been nearly flawless through two days of practice. He was the top quarterback on the West on Tuesday and was locked in during the Wednesday joint practice. We didn’t see Young have an errant throw during the session. Most, if not all, of his incompletions were on target and the result of strong coverage. Young dropped the ball in a shoebox on multiple occasions. His ball placement to all levels of the field is the best in this cycle and it showed during the joint practice. At one point, Young made several consecutive incredible throws. He also showed off his quick processor in flying through progressions in 7-on-7 in the afternoon. The game moves in slow motion for the Alabama signee.

2. CJ Stroud

High School: Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.)

College: Ohio State

247Sports Composite: 83

Stroud heated up in a big way during the afternoon, delivering some of the best passes of the week. The Ohio State signee is a pure passer with outstanding touch and feel for throwing the deep ball. Stroud’s timing with his West teammates caught our eye. During the morning, he impressed us with the ability to hang in the pocket and buy time in the midst of pressure during 11-on-11. Stroud has gotten better as the week has progressed, peaking during the joint practice on Wednesday.

3. DJ Uiagalelei

High School: Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco

College: Clemson

247Sports Composite: 13

A case could be made for Uiagalelei to be second. The margins on this group are razor thin. The Clemson signee looks the part of a five-star passer and made a bunch of “wow” throws during the morning and afternoon. He has the strongest arm on hand (and likely the entire 2020 class) and is at his best when he can let it rip downfield. While he wasn’t quite as consistent as Young on a throw to throw basis, Uiagalelei delivered some special moments on Wednesday.

4. Evan Prater

High School: Cincinnati (Ohio) Wyoming

College: Cincinnati

247Sports Composite: 225

Prater was a bit more consistent than Uiagalelei during the morning sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday and was on the money during the joint practice. The Cincinnati pledge has shown he belongs here with the nation’s best and would stack up with any of the quarterbacks we’ve seen on this all-star circuit. Prater hasn’t thrown the ball on the high school level nearly as much as Young, Stroud and Uiagalelei, but has shown a plus arm and consistent delivery this week. Prater brings a lot to the table in the quarterback run game, rushing for 49 scores in his last two years of high school football.

5. Malik Hornsby

High School: Missouri City (Texas) Fort Bend Marshall

College: Uncommitted

247Sports Composite: 221

If you told me Hornsby should be higher on this list, I wouldn’t argue. That’s how good the quarterbacks have been this week. Hornsby has had a very strong first two days as a passer. He’s assertive and has thrown a clean ball with zip. It’s worth noting that this setting has yet to feature Hornsby’s running ability, which could be the best of any quarterback in this cycle. This has been a definitive “stock up” two days for the uncommitted passer from the Houston area. Any program still looking to sign a quarterback in the 2020 cycle should be targeting Hornsby with vigor. The passing ability he’s shown this week paired with his well-established mobility points to a high ceiling at the college level.

6. Tate Rodemaker

High School: Valdosta (Ga.)

College: Florida State

247Sports Composite: 718

A late addition to the game, Rodemaker is a bit behind the other five quarterbacks but doesn’t look out of place here. He’s still adjusting to this level of speed, but had his share of nice throws on the day. The ball comes of Rodemaker’s hand cleanly and he’s shown good arm strength downfield.
