No position has more to evaluate than quarterback, and there might not be a bigger leap from high school to college than at this position. While the game in the trenches and the physical skills needed are a huge leap, the mental gap between high school and college quarterback play is a chasm. Beyond that, modern QBs need to be athletic and throw under all different circumstances. Beyond that, there's the technical throwing aspect, where more and more players come to college with coaches and trainers who have molded them into technically excellent prospects. So, with all of that in mind, let's check out Pennsylvania prospect Matt Zollers.  After his junior season, the four-star Spring-Ford passer has rocketed up the recruiting rankings, landing at 164 in the On3 rankings, sitting just outside the top ten at 14th. Is he the next great prospect to blow up before his senior season? Let's put on the film and find out.
