Four Tampa Bay Quarterbacks to Watch in 2021

<div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"> With spring practice in the books and the 2021 season quickly approaching, we’re looking at quarterback prospects in the Tampa area. There are some good prospects and several sleeper prospects that should all be getting looks for the next level. Prep Redzone Florida will always promote everybody in hopes of them getting the opportunity of playing college football at the next level.       Luca Stanzani- Clearwater Academy International 6’0 175lbs Stanzani is a pro-style quarterback that is one of the best prospects in the Tampa area. He’s excelled at Clearwater International Academy since his eighth grade season and has passed for over 9000+ yards and 90+ touchdowns in his career. He currently has offers from USF, Southern Miss, and FAU. Strengths: shows A+ footwork, good compact release, and throws an outstanding deep ball with a touch that allows his receivers to run underneath. Plays with a lot of confidence and maturity. Very smart quarterback with a 4.0 GPA. </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"> Film:<a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/8066287/Luca-Stanzani"> https://www.hudl.com/profile/8066287/Luca-Stanzani</a>   [player_tooltip player_id="111420" first="Caleb" last="Pierce"] – Hillsborough High 6’0 185lbs Pierce had a very good season in 2021 passing for 1951 yards and 17 touchdowns and completing over 54% of his passes. He led Hillsborough to an 8-2 record and into the 3rd round of the state playoffs. Pierce is not only a good player, but he also is a very good student with a 4.0 GPA in the classroom. Strengths: he’s got a nice smooth easy throwing motion, does a really good job standing strong in the pocket showing poise and taking hits and delivering the ball, shows ball placement at all three levels of the field. Smart player that knows how to read coverages.

He’s been invited to several QB showcases this off-season. He’s also an outstanding student with a 4.0 GPA. Smith is a name to watch for the next few years, coaches need to jump on him early. Strengths: he already has prototype size. He’s a high IQ player with a lot of ability, has really good arm strength and sees the field well. Advanced mechanics for his age.

Last year he threw for 1579 yards, 13 touchdowns, and completed over 56% of his passes. He has several key receivers returning and I believe Lennard will have one of the best passing offenses in the area. </div> </div> <div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"> Strengths: has nice athleticism ( ran a 4.83 40 at the Elite 11 regionals), shows good arm strength and can throw with plenty of velocity when needed, has the ability to use his legs to get out of trouble, also shows the ability to throw with different arm angles with accuracy. Starting to get plenty of interest this offseason schools. Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11088567/Gavin-Henley">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11088567/Gavin-Henley</a> </div> </div>
