Virginia high school football is set to start on the weekend of Aug. 21-23 and the Old Dominion State has produced some of the top talent coming out of the Mid-Atlantic United States.

A position that the state has started to produce talent at regularly is at quarterback, with many top end signal callers now heading to the collegiate level from Virginia. With the passing game becoming a focal point of many high school offenses around the country, it's no different when it comes to the Old Dominion State.

The following is a list of top returning Virginia quarterbacks heading into the 2024 season.
