Top 10 Illinois QBs for 2024 high school football season
6. Marcus Thaxton, Sr., Morgan Park
Morgan Park will return several starters from a team that went 10-2 and reached the Class 5A state quarterfinals last year, and one of the most important players among that group is Thaxton. The 6-foot, 175-pound senior is a mobile quarterback who can beat defenders with his legs, but he also showcased a strong ability to throw deep last season and was a very accurate passer with a 67% completion rate. Overall, Thaxton threw for 2,391 yards and 31 touchdowns with a 128.4 passer rating in 2023. With a 20-4 record over the past couple of seasons, Thaxton is a senior leader capable of taking the Mustangs on a run this fall before likely playing Division I college football as the three-star recruit holds offers from Kent State, New Mexico State and Western Illinois.
