Wiry quarterback prospect with a quick release, dangerous improvisational ability, and an intriguing ceiling. Listed at 6-foot-4, 185 pounds with plenty of room to keep filling out, and he will need to add mass to hold up in the pocket at the college level. Completed 182 of 282 passes (64.5 percent) for 2,653 yards with 29 touchdowns against 11 interceptions as a junior, adding 390 yards and eight scores on 89 carries while helping his team to a 10-3 record. Also a very good high school baseball player, hitting .378 over his career. Shows good arm strength both on Friday…

Film Review Notes
Wiry passer whose game is built on a quick trigger and the knack for creating outside of structure. Shows the arm to attack all three levels, snapping the ball to the sideline and stretching defenses vertically with enough juice to challenge tight windows between the numbers. Delivers from a tall, over-the-shoulder slot and can take something off when a throw calls for air and touch. Comfortable resetting his platform to throw accurately while moving, including cross-body attempts to the far hash. Has plus mobility for the position, timed near 4.6, and covers ground in a hurry with springy feet and a stride that eats grass in the open field. Slides and climbs away from pressure, though he occasionally abandons a clean pocket sooner than he needs to. Dangerous on second-reaction plays, keeping his eyes downfield before he takes off. Can clean up his lower body mechanics. Tightening that up could help firm up both his consistency as a passer.
