Florida’s heralded 2026 high school quarterback class is quickly becoming the committed 2026 quarterback class.
In the past three weeks, four of state’s top juniors have announced their college decisions and at least one more is expected to reveal his decision as soon as next month.
“The big thing was just the fit,” said Cocoa quarterback Brady Hart, who committed to Michigan on Tuesday. “I feel I fit perfect in that program, that system, that culture, that Michigan team.
“It’s important to me personally (to commit early). The quarterback has to be the leader on and off the field, and I think it sets a great example for the other kids in the 2026 class.”

Hart is the latest of the group to make his announcement. Plantation-American Heritage five-star recruit Dia Bell committed to Texas on Monday, while Lake Mary four-star quarterback Noah Grubbs (Notre Dame) and Jesuit four-star prospect Will Griffin (Florida) both announced on June 1.
The next domino to fall likely will be Jones four-star Dereon Coleman, whose offers include Miami, Oklahoma, UCF and others.
“I think it’s awesome,” Hart said. “Florida’s not usually a quarterback state, and you have a bunch of good quarterbacks in Florida. The competition, the high level of play, I think its great.”
