Prospect high school senior Alex Moeller Alex Moeller 6'0" | 165 lbs | QB Prospect | 2021 IL is one of the state’s elite signal-callers. From a quarterback standpoint, he does a great job squaring his shoulders throwing on the run, can naturally climb the pocket, and has tremendous scrambling ability. As a junior, he threw for 2,341 yards and 27 touchdowns on his way to being named All-Conference and All-Area. Moeller even admitted that he was a little surprised by the amount of success, “It went well. I think I exceeded expectations, including my own.” Last fall, Prospect had a bit of a resurgence, you could say. Head coach Dan DeBouef has rebuilt a once-storied program and led the Knights to an 8-3 finish last fall. Moeller felt like it was a step in the right direction, “We made it to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in almost ten years. It was a big moment for the program.” After an excellent junior campaign, schools have been taking a hard look at the Prospect quarterback. Currently, he’s heard from the likes of Dayton, Harvard, Columbia, Yale, and Southern Illinois. He’s even picked up two offers from Valparaiso & St. Francis. He’s been working hard this off-season at Tom Nelson’s training facility, eagerly awaiting the start of fall camp. Now, he’s ready to get back on the field and show that his hard work has paid off.
Prospect returns quite a bit of talent from their 2019 squad, including RB Luke Zardzin, WR Tyson Splinter, OL Sam Tsagalis & WR Noah Marx. The Knights should be a contender in Class 7A this fall, and Moeller himself has high expectations, “The ultimate goal is a state title, but we take it one game at a time.” If the Knights, are going to make a push for a State Title, a key to that will be Alex Moeller Alex Moeller 6'0" | 165 lbs | QB Prospect | 2021 IL . Moeller is an extremely gifted quarterback prospect who we currently have rated as the seventeenth best QB in all of Illinois. Not too bad for a kid who was an All-Conference cornerback his sophomore season. For now, Moeller is taking his time looking at schools, “I have no set date or time and am in no rush to make a decision. I want to see all my options before making a decision.” Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he’s only visited Southern Illinois, and he wants to take a hard look at other universities once things open back up. One thing worth noting is that Moeller is a very gifted student and was named academic All-State as a junior. I would not be the least bit surprised if a few Ivy League institutions offered the prospect quarterback following another impressive season.
