Will Mencl

The emergence of Will Mencl (No. 4) has added clarity to the top of a 2027 quarterback group that lacked clear top prospects at the position in the early stages of the cycle, adding a fifth star and making a huge move inside the top five of the Rivals300. Mencl touts a well-rounded skill set and appears to be the surest bet of the quarterback group, based on our exposure to this point. He had a breakout junior season at Chandler (Ariz.) High, completing 70.3 percent of his passes, while accounting for 4,556 total yards and 50 touchdowns against five interceptions. At 6-foot-3, 200 pounds with a hand size over 10 inches and good athleticism, Mencl pairs physical talent with a quick processor and high-end accuracy. He showed the ability to make tough small-window throws in meaningful playoff games as a junior and adds value as a run threat. Mencl backed up the strong junior season with a great showing at the Navy All-American Bowl, where he showed no issues adjusting to the high level of competition and looked like the best quarterback prospect we saw at any of the national all-star games.
