Looks like Riley has made his QB choice for the next recruiting cycle.
Maybe the trend will finally break. He hasn’t closed on any of his three previous choices. Langway (Gaytor), Lewis ( Buff’s), Lyons (Celibates or Soaking U).
Commitment from Peyton Houston is not expected to happen soon.
Rumor has it he may commit sooner than later and as I posted before his best friend is Boobie.....
The 5-foot-10, 202-pound dual-threat quarterback stuffed the stat sheet night in and night out during his sophomore campaign in 2024.
Houston completed 310/443 passes (70%) for 4,480 yards with 38 touchdowns with only six interceptions while rushing 105 times for 690 yards and seven touchdowns in 2024.
It was monster game after monster game where he had seven games of 300+ passing yards, including a whopping 817 yards on 53/65 passing for eight touchdowns and zero interceptions in a 77-76 loss to Captain Shreve High School on October 10.
Houston set the Evangel Christian Academy single-season record with 5,170 yards of total offense during the 2024 season.
The impactful season has caused a meteoric rise for Houston where he has already reeled in 25+ offers including LSU, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Texas A&M prior to his junior campaign.
With he and Boobie being close, that is a huge plus.
Good point Bruddah, regarding C. LR plan A QB target misses. But, he was successful with his plan B, landing A+ replacements in Longstreet for Lewis and Williams for Lyons. In the nations HS's there are so many hidden, under the radar QB's (Josh Allen, Carson Wentz, Aaron Rogers, Cameron Ward, Marcus Mariota, Mike Pennix, Colt Brennan, Stetson Bennett, Steve Sarkissian, Kedon Slovis). Heck, coaches and recruiting staff must dig & find them.
If C. LR lose Houston, I'm sure he has a very good plan B QB's. I'm confident GM Bowden and his staff will find them. That's what I like about this 2026 class, there are many under the radar 3* players. Good job by USC finding them... Cheers
Given Riley's success with QBs, what has changed? Is it NIL?
