Scouting Report: “Fahey is one of the most talented quarterbacks out West. He’s surgical from the pocket and can pick a defense apart with his accuracy and timing. Shows off a quick release, throws one of the tighter balls in the region and processes the game extremely quickly. In terms of his ability to get through his progressions and reads, he’s one of the more advanced signal callers in the country. An extremely smart player with a high football IQ, knows where to go with the ball, doesn’t turn it over and will still take his shots down the field. Is accurate to all three levels of the field, changes speeds well and knows when to take a little off and when to add some heat when the windows are tight. A tough kid with a lacrosse background and isn’t afraid to take a shot in the pocket or run though a defender to pick up a few extra yards. At 6-0, he’s not a big quarterback but has a solid frame, a strong lower body and should have no problems holding up against the hits he’ll have to take in college.” – Rivals West Coast Analyst Greg Biggins.
