He’s been invited to the Under Armour All-American camp and currently holds an offer from Jacksonville Athletic Academy, he was also getting some interest from East Carolina earlier in the year, he’s definitely a prospect to keep an eye on this season.</span></p> </div> </div> <div id="pageBorders" class="style-scope qowt-page" contenteditable="false"></div> <div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <p id="E29" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><span id="E30" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Film: </span><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10000940/Blake-Beard"><span id="E31" class="qowt-font1-Arial">https://www.hudl.com/profile/10000940/Blake-Beard</span></a></p> &nbsp; <p id="E34" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><strong><em><span id="E35" class="qowt-font1-Arial">[player_tooltip player_id="128344" first="[player_tooltip player_id="126602" first="[player_tooltip player_id="126602" first="Luke" last=""]" last=""]" last="Rucker"]- Seminole High c/o 23</span></em></strong></p> <p id="E36" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><strong><em><span id="E37" class="qowt-font1-Arial">6’3 190lbs</span></em></strong></p> <p id="E40" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><span id="E41" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Rucker is one of the best class of 23 quarterback prospects in the state, he will lead Seminole High this season after transferring from Oveido where he passed for 2392 yards, 22 touchdowns and completed over 57% of his passes. Rucker has above-average mechanics, and has a very good arm showing the ability to throw with touch and zip at all three levels, he also shows the ability to maneuver in the pocket and throw strikes down field, his deep ball accuracy is impressive, he’s a very good prospect that was invited to the Elite 11 regionals camp and currently holds an offer from Florida Atlantic University.</span></p> <p id="E44" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><span id="E45" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Film: </span><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11472224/[player_tooltip player_id="><span id="E46" class="qowt-font1-Arial">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11472224/[player_tooltip player_id="126602" first="[player_tooltip player_id="126602" first="Luke" last=""]" last=""]-Rucker</span></a></p> &nbsp; <p id="E51" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><em><strong><span id="E52" class="qowt-font1-Arial">[player_tooltip player_id="50174" first="Gunnar" last="Smith"]- Lake Mary</span></strong></em></p> </div> </div> <div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <p id="E55" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><em><strong><span id="E56" class="qowt-font1-Arial">6’4 190lbs</span></strong></em></p> <p id="E59" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><span id="E60" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Smith is another talented quarterback prospect for the Central Florida area, he is a 3-star prospect that had a terrific season last year throwing for 1742 yards and 19 touchdowns in completing over 58% of his passes, he also rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns on the ground showing his athleticism (4.7 40) and the ability to keep plays alive. Smith is a really good all-around prospect that reads coverages well, and gets the ball out of his hand quickly, he throws with nice touch and anticipation and does a good job getting out of the pocket buying time while keeping his eyes downfield, his offseason work is also impressive getting ranked at the Elite 11 camp as one of the best quarterbacks in the throwing and athleticism drills. He currently has an offer from Kentucky and is getting a lot of attention from Ivy League schools, he’ll be one of the best quarterbacks in the state this year.</span></p> <p id="E63" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><span id="E64" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Film: </span><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/4027781/Gunnar-Smith"><span id="E65" class="qowt-font1-Arial">https://www.hudl.com/profile/4027781/Gunnar-Smith</span></a></p> </div> </div> <div id="pageBorders" class="style-scope qowt-page" contenteditable="false"></div> <div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"></div> </div> <div id="pageBorders" class="style-scope qowt-page" contenteditable="false"></div> <div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"></div> </div> <div id="pageBorders" class="style-scope qowt-page" contenteditable="false"></div> <div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"><em><strong>You Can Contact Shannon Jordan with a prospect or team information on Twitter @in_huddle or shannon.jordan.ib@gmail.com.
