One of the top young arms in Georgia high school football is leaving the state.

On Wednesday, Ware County (Ga.) passer Chase Cone announced he’ll be transferring to IMG Academy to play for the national powerhouse Ascenders. Cone has already picked up an offer from Memphis after his freshman season for the Gators, and looks to be one of the best quarterback recruits early on in the 2029 cycle.

“After talking and praying about it with my family, I’ve decided I will be transferring to IMG Academy to play QB for the IMG National Team,” he wrote on X Wednesday.

Cone didn’t see any varsity action as a freshman at Ware County, but has been one of the top prospects at his position in a number of offseason camps already. Despite being only 15 years old, he measured at 6’6 and 204 pounds with 4.57 40-yard dash and nearly 10-foot broad jump.

He was also invited to the Rivals Camp Series event in Atlanta, where he was one of nearly 20 prospects to earn an invite to the second-day combine for elite prospects.
