With the 2020 season starting, In this series I’m going to spotlight Quarterback prospects from every classification in Florida. A lot of times these kids get overlooked because they do not play at big schools; they deserve the opportunity to be seen by college coaches as well. It is important that we highlight as many prospects as possible. At Prep Redzone Florida, we are different than most sites where we want to emphasize guys that are not being heavily recruited and try to promote them, so they get an opportunity get the exposure they deserve!     Nate Mikell- Wildwood 6’3 170lbs 1362 pass yds 16td 8in 298 rush yds 5td Mikell is a dual-threat quarterback that has a lot of speed (4.52), he does a really good job placing the ball away from the defender, I believe Mikell’s biggest asset is throwing on the run, he uses his athleticism to extend plays while keeping his eyes downfield. He reads coverages well and shows good timing, accuracy, and zip on short and intermediate passes. He currently holds offers from Monmouth College and Albright College.

Perry’s biggest asset is his ability to scramble and extend plays, he is a very quick and elusive cutback runner that has home run hitting ability and speed. He ran for 1969 yards and 18 touchdowns does a quarterback! Trenton likes to use him as a runner with a lot of called direct run plays for him. He does have ability as a quarterback to make throws, he shows good accuracy and ball placement on deep throws and is good throwing on the run using his athleticism and speed to get out of the pocket.

Johnson is a dual-threat quarterback that is good at running the zone-read offense, as a runner he has burst and shows ability to make defenders miss, he has natural instincts running with the ball. As a passer Newberry will roll him out to use his athleticism to give him open windows to see down the field, he does show the ability to stand in the pocket and deliver strikes for intermediate and short passes. Johnson might be a candidate to move to another position in college, potentially wide receiver or running back.

He is a dual-threat quarterback who has already started on the right foot with his new team, throwing for three touchdowns in his first game. Mackey flashes nice accuracy and touch on deep balls. He’s an effective passer on the move and does a good job carrying out his fakes, he also has the ability to run for big yards possessing speed and vision. Mackey is new to the area, but I believe he’ll be one of the best dual-threat prospects this season.

When Johnson throws the ball he shows decent footwork and a nice compact delivery. Has pretty good accuracy and touch. Has nice ability to read defenses and takes what the defense gives him. Seems to always find the open man. He is a good small school prospect as a quarterback.
