His stats from last season won't blow anyone away with his 1,655 yards and 13 touchdowns, but that could chance as a senior in 2022. He has plenty of size at 6-foot-4 195-pounds with lots of raw arm talent. He throws with a lot of zip and knows how to push the ball down the field. Kidd can elude defenders and make plays with his feet while still learning and developing as a quarterback. As he progresses, he could see some D! interest possibly coming his way. He's full of potential, but has to put it all together in 20222. &nbsp; <strong><a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/local/player/stats.aspx?athleteid=6e0b6b8d-0ac2-42ea-9db5-c959e001f917&amp;ssid=97e3f828-856d-419e-b94f-7f41319fe3d3"><span class="first-name">Ethan</span> Washington - North Gwinnett</a></strong> One of the better dual-threat QBs in Gwinnett County, and arguably the best overall athlete on the team, Washington is a dynamic QB who is still developing as a passer. He has a big arm and his overall arm strength is easy to see, but he has to be more consistent and accurate as a senior this fall. He moves really well and can make plays with his feet, and he has decent size at 6-foot-3 190-pounds. He has the potential to have a big senior season after a junior season where he threw for 1,620 yards and 12 touchdowns. There is still some growing to do, but he’ll be one of the more experienced QBs across 7A in the county for the 2022 season.
