They also have the intangibles coaches look for in leading their team. Here are a few of the shorter but very talented quarterbacks in the class of 2022.
Braedon Spies Braedon Spies 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB Rocky River High | 2022 OH 6’1” 190 Rocky River
Spies is a true dual threat quarterback in a spread offense that features his talents. He is a very sound quarterback fundamentally and can read coverages better than most quarterbacks. His coaches have designed quarterback runs that allow Spies to keep the defense off guard. Braedon is an elusive enough runner to make defensive backs miss in the openfield.
Coulter Clelland 6’0” 190 Meigs
Clelland is one of the most impressive Division V quarterbacks in the state. He possesses a strong arm and displays both touch and trajectory on intermediate and deep passes. Coulter also can throw the football with velocity on sprint outs and semi-rolls. He can keep plays alive with his feet and runs the draw effectively.
Ethan Fritz Ethan Fritz 6'1" | 200 lbs | QB Brunswick | 2022 OH 6’1” 200 Brunswick
Staying in the pocket and delivering the football in a timely fashion is no problem for Fritz. He can take a hit without flinching and has a quick release of the ball. He also can buy time as he slides in and out of the pocket waiting for his receivers to open. Fritz is especially impressive in the redzone hitting the slants, outs, and fades.
Logan Thor Logan Thor 6'1" | 170 lbs | QB Sylvania Northview | 2022 OH 6’1” 170 Sylvania Northview
This Thor can strike like lightening throwing the deep ball. He doesn’t hesitate going vertical on fades, seam routes, and the post. Thor is extremely accurate when throwing on the run and even back across his body on rollouts. He is not shy stepping up in the pocket when under a heavy rush.
Matt Natale Matt Natale 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Walsh Jesuit | 2022 OH 6’1” 185 Walsh Jesuit
Natale is an exceptional field general by the way he moves his offense down the field with hitting big vertical strikes or controlled underneath and sideline routes. He drops the deep fade or redzone fade in over the top of defensive backs with extreme accuracy. Natale has impressive poise as he rifles the football on target as his receivers are breaking out of their routes.
