[player_tooltip player_id="255944" first="Jermere" last="Jones"] | 6'3, 195 | Chambersburg Area | 2024 Tall, lean frame out of [player_tooltip player_id="255944" first="Jermere" last="Jones"], a sophomore out of Chambersburg area. 13 total touchdowns on the year, 9 through the air, 4 on the ground. 1200+ total yards from scrimmage, can 100% be labeled a Dual-Threat prospect. Adept at keeping eyes downfield and getting big chunks of yardage at a time. Has some beautiful throws on the move downfield. Running ability a huge part of his game, dynamic close to the goal line. Prowess with arm and legs make him a tough player to game plan against. Part of an offense that wants to attack deep and spread a defense out. Project production to be through the roof by his senior season. https://twitter.com/JermereJones/status/1457006437855547392?s=20&t=t5l0m3Z3nciYMx-1jGoFCg [player_tooltip player_id="146779" first="Ian" last="Brandt"] | 6'2, 195 | State College | 2023 Another quarterback with a good frame that can be labeled a Dual-Threat prospect. State College schedules more runs than Chambersburg does for [player_tooltip player_id="255944" first="Jermere" last="Jones"], [player_tooltip player_id="146779" first="Ian" last="Brandt"] makes the most of his opportunities when taking off. He's got some acceleration to his name. Fits this SC system like a glove. He can make reads and deliver accurate balls when working the short to intermediate areas. Can hit out routes, slants, and digs in time and in stride. Has some touch to deliver balls downfield. Impressed with his decisiveness in the red zone. Want to see an uptick in production this Fall. https://twitter.com/IanB2023/status/1520949059669921796?s=20&t=t5l0m3Z3nciYMx-1jGoFCg Max Kulawiak | 6'4, 200 | St. Peter's Prep | 2024 Here's a sophomore out of SPP in NJ that has a limited but intriguing tape. SPP prefers to get the ball out quick, a ton of read-and-throw reps on tape which highlight Kulawiak's ability to make quick decisions. His release is good enough to get the ball out when necessary. Solid overall skillset from a 2024 kid. Has some downfield throws 30+ yards downfield, hope to see this part of his game expand as he continues to develop. Looking forward to seeing what his confidence is like in person. Good height-weight combination as well. [player_tooltip player_id="287247" first="Michael" last="Reed"] | 6'1, 170 | Owen J. Roberts | 2023 103/174, 1000+ yards, 6 TDs, 7 rushing TDs were last years line for the Owen J. Roberts junior quarterback. Might have one of the stronger arms on this list. Don't let the production fool you, this kid is a passer first. Grounded and controlled feet, seasoned deliver, Reed gets some serious torque on the football, he needs it too. This kid has real confidence to throw tight window balls downfield. Avid worker of the safeties, making great use of open windows down the seam. Can deliver some rockets down the middle of the field. Escapability and improvisational skills are all there. Like this kid's game. https://twitter.com/MikeReed2023OJR/status/1457894859164033028?s=20&t=t5l0m3Z3nciYMx-1jGoFCg [player_tooltip player_id="256268" first="Stephen" last="Tryon"] | 6'1, 195 | Conwell-Egan | 2024 First play on film is a 35+ yard toss with pressure. Tryon is tall and thick, this build should only continue to grow, leading me to believe he will be able to handle pressure throughout his career at CEC. Under center a ton, his drop back is stiff but this kid is so raw, the drop back doesn't effect his timing whatsoever. Tryon is going to have a number of weapons at his disposal if he gets the nod for CEC this Fall, his arm talent and willingness to throw the ball downfield should elevate his stock. Raw prospect who has the tools to develop. Rhys Staley | 6'1, 195 | St. James School | 2023 MD quarterback who is willing to test a defense vertically, often giving his target a chance to make a play. Impressive accuracy outside the numbers. Doesn't need a huge hitch or big wind-up to get the ball 40+ yards downfield. Possibly some of the best footwork I have seen out of this group, not expecting that to change at the camp. Tape displays ability to throw with touch on corner and fade routes in the red zone. Seems to always be confident in the pocket, can bounce between reads, can scan both sides of the field, all while keeping his throwing motion consistent. Each rep looks the same, which is a good thing. https://twitter.com/rhysstaley/status/1484765959953039363?s=20&t=t5l0m3Z3nciYMx-1jGoFCg [player_tooltip player_id="305116" first="Aidan" last="Prestigiacomo"] | 6'0, 185 | Central Bucks South | 2024 Not much film can be had on Prestigiacomo. In talks with his quarterback Coach Matt McGovern, Aidan's "mechanics are some of the cleanest" of anybody he works with, which means something considering the talent his trainer is working with. Aidan can "drive the ball on intermediate range throws and has plenty of arm for deep throws." What I loved most from speaking with his QB Coach is everything he said about Aidan in the classroom and off the field. He spoke of his awesome "work ethic and driven approach", as well as his great growth on the field since last year. Sounds like a brilliant kid awaiting his shot to prove himself. He'll have a shot at this camp. https://twitter.com/AidanPresti7/status/1521245937334722560?s=20&t=t5l0m3Z3nciYMx-1jGoFCg Keegan Smetanka | 5'11, 170 | Shaler | 2024 Undersized yet one of the more productive quarterbacks on this list. Excels on the move, Shaler does right by moving this kid's launch point. Lengthy film that is littered with off-platform, awkward angled throws that really gives you a feel of the type of quarterback you're getting. Special accuracy on the go. Sharp in between the hash marks, hitting hitches, curls and slants easily. There is a bit of a wind-up when throwing deep, but plenty of arm talent to do so. Surmounted 1800+ passing yards this past Fall with a 61% completion percentage too boot. Smetanka averaged a touchdown per 100 yards accumulated. Productive prospect.
