2025 Rankings Update: Underclassmen QB Breakdown Pt.2

[player_tooltip player_id="98504" first="Eric" last="Kasperowicz"] | Pine Richland   Love the emphasis on timing and anticipation I see when evaluating Kasperowicz's tape. Many of the route combinations thrown his way require Kasperowicz to make the read, set his feet and fire, often before wideouts have even reached the top of their routes. Anticipates his open man far better than most freshmen I see. Kasperowicz might not wow with his arm or stature, but the cerebral approach to the quarterback position often holds more value than velocity or size. If you can win accuracy and anticipation, you will always have a shot to succeed at the position. The young man is also an above-average athlete who can make something out of nothing if need be.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EricKasperowicz/status/1456055209663291400?s=20u0026t=egA0gcuIiIVZlXQh6Y68tA </div></figure>     <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/06/114-Carson-Weisser-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-359227" width="362" height="271"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id="316621" first="Carson" last="Weisser"] | 6'0, 170 | Manheim Township   [player_tooltip player_id="316621" first="Carson" last="Weisser"], a former Prep Redzone camper, registered 19 touchdowns on just four interceptions while throwing for more than 800 yards through the air. Weisser was cool and calm at our camp, the same can be said when you plug in the tape. Calm and poised in the pocket, smooth delivery to match. Weisser displays good accuracy in the short to intermediate areas of the field, hitting slants and digs in front of his targets to keep them in stride. Great scanner of the field too. He shows the mental processing ability to recognize when his targets will be open before they actually are, making Weisser an ideal quarterback to work a vertical passing game around.         [player_tooltip player_id="386133" first="Carson" last="Nagle"] | 5'11, 190 | Bald Eagle Area   Here's a freshman who put up outstanding numbers his first year in the Bald Eagle Area offense. 1900 yards through the air, 16 total scores, with nine wins under his belt. That is quite the stat line for a young man who is getting his feet wet in the game. The 2nd-Team All-Conference quarterback is hardly mentioned in arguments on who the "best" 2025 quarterback is. Let's take a look at some of the boxes he checks off. Can he scan the field efficiently and make reads on time? Yes. Can he be a threat to attack all levels of the field? Yes. Can he throw with anticipation? Yes. Is he accurate while on the move? Can he escape the pocket with intentions to throw the ball downfield? Is he tough enough to stay in the pocket and deliver balls without pressure affecting accuracy? The answer is yes to all of these questions. His 12-minute tape proves it.   [player_tooltip player_id="386135" first="Aiden" last="Collins"] | 6'2, 185 | Honesdale   Here's a big kid with a big arm. Usually, quarterbacks with this stature prefer to deal damage to a defense from the pocket, yet somewhat surprisingly, Collins has a number of off-script, off-platform throws while on the move. Some of these throws have the kid launching balls 30-40 yards downfield with pressure bearing down on him. It's safe to say that Collins can not only absorb big hits in the pocket, but he also proves he can deliver accurate balls after taking blows as well. There are a ton of areas Collins can improve on, which is exciting because the young man already has a solid foundation to build upon. Could be a future prolific stat guy with an arm like this.   [player_tooltip player_id="267055" first="Kole" last="Olszewski"] | 5'11, 160 | Bishop Canevin   Can't wait to see how Olszewski develops under a state-championship program. Olszewski might have the best feel for the short to intermediate game of any quarterback on this list. I always recommend quarterbacks to show the non-flashy throws on film, they often tell more than 40-yard heaves for touchdowns. Olszewski's feet are married to his eyes, it shows up when he's attacking LB drop zones, hitting slants accurately and on time. Bishop Canevin also runs many hitch sets for outside wideouts, although an easy concept, Olszewski hits these hitches accurately and on time, giving his wideouts a chance to work in space. He also is seen throwing darts from the opposite hash of where his desired route is breaking, displaying he has more than enough zip on the ball. The easy things impress me. Can't wait to see the new and improved version of Olszewski this Fall.   Shawn Lee | Harrisburg   Shawn Lee might be one of my favorite players in all of Pennsylvania and that is regardless of class. A true dual-threat quarterback and please don't get that twisted. This kid has a rocket arm that has plenty of torque to squeeze past the secondary with just a flick of this kid's wrist. "Dual-threat" is often reserved for prospects who are really just athletes at the quarterback position, this notion doesn't hold water for Shawn Lee. All game long, Harrisburg and Lee can beat you with his arm alone. Add in the RPO's with Kyle Wiliams and [player_tooltip player_id="249232" first="Mahkai" last="Hopkins"], defenses won't know who hit them, all three will be scoring the blink of an eye. Expecting ridiculous numbers out of this young man this Fall.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Shawny_Lee8/status/1484185973411958784?s=20u0026t=egA0gcuIiIVZlXQh6Y68tA </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id="386093" first="Matt" last="Zollers"] | 6'3, 195 | Spring-Ford   [player_tooltip player_id="386093" first="Matt" last="Zollers"]' build immediately grabs your attention. 6'3 and just under 200 pounds, Zollers also boasts one of the better pre-throw packages in this class. Absolutely clean feet and drop after the snap. Great eye discipline after receiving snap, great pre-throw arm angles that ensure little to no sway before bringing the ball up to his shoulder. Zollers is a step ahead of the curve mechanically and it shows once the ball is released. Outstanding deep ball accuracy and a ton of velocity without much wasted motion. Zollers' release is efficient, much of his attention to detail pre-throw is why this young man is so successful on the field. I hope D1 programs begin to catch on to how this kid is developing. The tape isn't too lengthy, I'm hoping to see a full Fall season of Spring-Ford's quarterback dominating competition.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MattZollers/status/1460693984511238156?s=20u0026t=egA0gcuIiIVZlXQh6Y68tA </div></figure>
