Vote: Who is the top West Virginia AAA QB of 2024?
The quality of quarterback play in West Virginia was on full display in the 2023 season in every classification. That’s because the state is filled with signal callers who can change games with either their arms, legs or both.
There’s no shortage of talented quarterbacks in West Virginia, which makes it hard to pick just one as the best in the area.
So here at SBLive Sports West Virginia, we’re asking you, the fans, to decide.
Vote now on who is the top AAA quarterback in West Virginia for 2024. Voting closes March 21, 2024.
Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other players who may not be mentioned in our poll.
Here are the nominations:
Brody Whitehair, Fairmont: The 6-foot-1, 190-pound junior signal caller led the Polar Bears to a lot of wins and points in 2023. Whitehair, who also plays safety on defense, led Fairmont to an 11-2 record and 534 points offensively last fall.
Dane Hatfield, Herbert Hoover: One thing college coaches would love about Hatfield right off the bat is his height at the position. Hatfield stands 6-foot-4 and leads a potent Huskies’ offense under center.
Josh Moody, Nitro: One of the top players of the entire state was the signal caller, Moody had numbers that could rival anyone. The junior threw for 3,711 yards and 49 touchdowns.
Chance Barker, Princeton: The Tigers signal caller completed 183-of-264 passes for 3,552 yards, 49 touchdowns and just a mere four interceptions this past season. Incredible sophomore numbers.
Coleton Hellems, Nicholas County: Hellems led a Grizzlies’ offense that averaged 31.2 points per game in 2023. The sophomore quarterback completed 89-of-140 passes for 1,220 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Brody Hamric, Greenbrier East: Though the Spartans went 2-8 last season, Hamric was a bright spot for the offense in 2023. The 6-foot-2, 165-pound signal caller will be a quarterback to watch heading into 2024.
Tyson Pritt, Ripley: Another team that was on tough times last season was the Vikings, but Pritt brings hope for the club heading into 2024. Pritt in 2023 threw for 693 yards and three touchdowns.
Cam Foley, Grafton: Foley put up some impressive numbers for Grafton in 2023. The junior passer completed 122-of-239 passes for 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns.
