In recent years, the Greater Savannah area has become a hotbed of quarterback talent with players such as Benedictine alums Luke Kromenhoek (now at Mississippi State) and Holden Geriner (now at Texas State after playing at Auburn). And the wealth of talent is still evident as the 2025 season is set to begin in August.
We took a look at the best returning quarterbacks to watch in the Greater Savannah area. Here are the top signal callers in the area as the high school football season approaches. Out of the ten quarterbacks recognized, two are Cadets!
Stephen Cannon, Class of 2026, was a standout in his first season starting for the Cadets as he showed off his athleticism with a rifle arm, ability to run and high football IQ. His season was limited to seven games due to an injury that he fought through to return from in the last game of the season. He threw for 1,352 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions and ran for 147 yards and three scores. He has committed to play at Texas Tech.
Omari Burse, Class of 2027, was thrust into the starting role when Cannon was hurt last season and performed well, completing 62% of his passes for 988 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions, with a pair of rushing touchdowns. He helped lead the Cadets to a pair of playoff wins. Burse is also an outstanding baseball player.
