With Week 5 now in the books, we take a look around the state and highlight the top quarterback performances from this week’s action.   [player_tooltip player_id="27971" first="Donovan" last="Leary"] | Timber Creek Leary, one of the top-rated quarterbacks in the Class of 2022, put on his biggest showing of the season as he completed 27 of 41 passes for 409-yards and five touchdowns. His big day helped Timber Creek to a 41-14 victory over Clearview as he threw touchdown passes of 5, 7, 18, 19 and 48 yards. Analysis: The Illinois commit is a pro-style passer who has a strong arm and a quick release. He has the strength to fit the ball into tight windows and the touch to get the ball over the top of the defense on intermediate routes.   [player_tooltip player_id="211211" first="Alfonso" last="Lombardi"] | Cedar Grove Lombardi completed 67% of his passes this past weekend as he completed 14 of 21 passes for 354 yards and four touchdowns. His dominating performance helped Cedar Grove improve to 5-0 on the season as they defeated North Warren 44-20. He threw touchdown passes of 2, 24, 34 and 92. He also ran one in from 2-yards out in the 3rd quarter. Analysis: The southpaw stands tall in the pocket and gets the ball out of his hand in a hurry. He’s got a strong arm to hit his receivers in stride on intermediate and deep throws. He possesses dual-threat ability to expand the pocket and isn’t afraid to tuck it and run if needed.   [player_tooltip player_id="181956" first="Scott" last="Lynch"] | Audubon Lynch led his team to a big victory this past weekend as they picked up a 41-35 victory over Princeton behind his 333 yards passing. He completed 21 of 29 passes while throwing for four touchdown passes as 15, 19, 23, and 28 yards. Analysis: The 6-foot-3, 205-pound prospect is your stereotypical pocket passer. He stands tall in the pocket, goes through his progressions and delivers the ball in a hurry to his receivers. He’s got a strong arm and does a nice job leading his receivers on intermediate and deep throws.   Austin Frattura | Sparta Frattura had his best game of the season as he completed 20 of 26 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns. He helped lead Sparta to a dominating 36-3 victory over Chatham by throwing for touchdown passes of 8, 36 and 36 yards. Analysis: Frattura does a nice job in the RPO as he makes good reads when reading the ends. He has the ability to move about the pocket and has the arm strength to still get the ball to his receivers even when his feet are not set.   [player_tooltip player_id="207092" first="Aaron" last="Bullock"] | Oakcrest Bullock was nearly perfect this past weekend as he completed 85% of his passes in a tough 21-20 loss to Seneca. He completed 23 of 27 passes for 295 yards and three scores as he threw touchdown passes of 32, 51 and 70 yards. Analysis: Bullock is another dual-threat who has the ability to expand the pocket and the play and also isn’t afraid to tuck it and run. He’s not the most fundamentally sound when it comes to throwing mechanics but he does a good job getting the ball downfield to open receivers.
