Here some of the quarterbacks who have signed up for our Prospect Tour camp. Excited to meet and evaluate many of these kids live.
Stephen Tryon Stephen Tryon 6'1" | 195 lbs | QB Conwell-Egan | 2024 State PA | 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.

Aidan 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.

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.
