Very good player who has produced on the varsity level from an early age. Coaches have nothing but good things to say about him as a player, leader and worker. True dual-threat who can hurt opponents with his arms, legs, and combination of the two. As a quarterback, his best fits would be at a place that values being able to move the quarterback and use him as a runner. Arm strength is not currently at a high-major level but his playmaking, touch, and ability to distribute the ball are all excellent. Has done off-season quarterback training, so senior film…

Film Review Notes
Dual-threat quarterback who can make defenses pay with his feet and also escape the rush and make plays when the first read is taken away. Throws with good touch, giving receivers a chance to go make plays on the ball. Good sense of leading his receivers away from coverage. Everything is smooth and catchable. Shows ability to throw timing routes on slants and outs. Mechanics can be tightened. Release point sometimes strays low. Don't always see elite velocity on his passes. Elusive runner but also gets physical as a runner.
