Reaching a NFL QBR passer rating of 158.3 is the ultimate bar for any quarterback when it comes to an individual achievement. It’s essentially perfection when playing behind center for any signal caller and IMG Academy 2028 four-star quarterback Jayden Wade pulled it off on Friday night.

In leading the Ascenders to a 49-14 rout of Phenix City Central on the road, Wade completed all 11 of his pass attempts for 350 yards and four touchdown passes, adding another score on the ground to achieve a perfect passer QBR of 158.3. Per the collegiate QBR passer rating formula, Wade had one of 487.2.

Wade is the No. 1 prospect in the Rivals Industry Ranking and has been proving so much more so as of late with his play through the passing game.

“One of the most physically gifted quarterbacks in the 2028 cycle,” said Rivals Scouting Director Charles Power. “Checks in at 6-foot-3.5, 183 pounds, and registers as an elite athlete with impressive speed times in the combine setting. Has a tight, quick throwing motion with a live downfield arm. Has the speed to take it to the house from anywhere on the field. Limited in terms of valuable game reps, working as a backup at national powerhouse IMG as a freshman. Will benefit greatly from gleaning experience on Friday nights. Older for the cycle, as he will turn 19 in the fall of his senior season.”

Wade and the Ascenders improved to 5-0 on the season as they finally return into their home region for the rest of 2025 as they play its final road game against Venice (2-2) this upcoming Friday.
