Bleacher Report

After thorough study using specific scoring criteria, Bleacher Report National Recruiting Analysts Damon Sayles, Sanjay Kirpalani and Tyler Donohue have graded the top 100 players in the 247Sports composite rankings and provided in-depth analysis on each young athlete. Bleacher Report will run a position-by-position breakdown series of the best college football recruits in the 2017 class. Here, we present the Top Quarterbacks.

The quarterback position is a point of emphasis early in every recruiting cycle, as coaching staffs fully understand the importance of stabilizing future plans behind center. High-profile passers can also act as leaders as the cycle progresses, encouraging other prospects to join a class.

While they're only three-quarters of the way through their high school careers, several quarterbacks have emerged as coveted collegiate targets, and some elected to commit more than a year before national signing day. Here's a breakdown of each passer listed among the top 100 overall recruits in 247Sports' 2017 composite rankings, including B/R's assessment based on accuracy, arm strength, pocket presence, mobility, in-game intelligence and overall mechanics.
