A smooth athlete with good footwork and natural arm talent. Keeps active feet in the pocket while scanning the field maintaining a strong throwing platform. Good ability to throw on the run to either direction, shows he can get his hips around and square up his shoulders to make a strong and accurate throw.

Danny Sirmon Danny Sirmon 6'1" | 200 lbs | QB Bothell | 2024 WA , QB, Bothell, 6’1” 200 lbs. The next in line of the Sirmon brothers at Bothell. He has great size and frame to build on at 6’1” 200 lbs. Most noticeable about Danny is his arm strength and ability to be on target from anywhere on the field. He continuously shows he is capable of making deep throws to the outside on a line or stretch the field vertically with touch. High football IQ, he is able to manipulate coverage with his eyes and go through his progression making smart decisions with the football. He’ll be one of the top QB recruits in the state when all is said and done. Blake Springer Blake Springer 6'2" | 210 lbs | QB Monroe | 2024 State WA , QB, Monroe, 6’1” 180 lbs. Good arm talent with a strong/powerful frame that contributes to his natural arm strength at a young age. Ball comes out quick and in a hurry with high velocity, especially on the short and intermediate routes. On vertical routes, he throws a tight ball with great trajectory and touch. Developing footwork and mechanics in the pocket but does a good job maintaining a tall and well balanced throwing platform with a quick and compact release.

He shows great maturity, poise, and confidence in his game with a very high football IQ for his age. Flashes good footwork and mobility in the pocket, he’s very controlled and patient with his movement never appearing rushed or panicked. Love his compact and over the top release that allows him to get the ball out quickly and accurately with a flick of the wrist. He will be exciting to watch over the next several years.
