In Middle TN?

I’ll say Josh Garza from Sycamore High was the most enjoyable QB I have had the pleasure of watching.  The 2003 1st Round Playoff game against Jackson South Side will never die.  Sycamore trailed 34-10 with 7 minutes and change remaining in the game. Garza led his team on 4 consecutive TD drives in what was one of the best offensive performances I can recall.  Sycamore won the game 37-34.  

Keenan Reynolds from Goodpasture and Malcolm Perry from Kenwood both went on to have very strong careers at the next level playing QB at Navy.  

Bo Wallace from Giles County 

Xavier Sheppard, Jimmy Ferrell, Deaunte Mason from Pearl-Cohn

Princeton Harlan from Mount Pleasant 

Hunter Poteete from DeKalb County 

Mitchell Potts and Landon Barnes from Cheatham County were the best 2 option QBs I’ve seen in that time.  When those guys pulled the football running the option it was sure to be an exciting play.  

I have been fortunate enough to see so many great QBs play over the last 20 years.  There are so many others who are escaping me right now.

Brent Stockstill (Siegel)- Toughest QB I've ever seen. If he was healthy, Siegel might have won state that year

Great list, and Tucker gets my vote from it. Admittedly, I didn't see all of them but Tucker was an awesome QB...nothing he didn't do well. Rice (the eldest) was right there with him, and probably was a better runner but didn't see the field as well.
