BATB Players To Watch: QBs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With Battle At The Beach rapidly approaching (Friday) here are the quarterbacks that will be under the microscope:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='379494' first='Billy' last='Smith'], Cedar Creek 2024</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Billy has looked outstanding during this summer's 7-on-7 camp circuit. Getting better with every camp outing. Of course, with any young quarterback, there will be ups and downs. That is also true for Billy's summer. Billy is a quarterback who is accurate at the intermediate and deep portions of the field but has a bad habit of forcing and not thoroughly reading the field. After Cedar Creek's performance in the Cherokee scrimmage losing 34-7, [player_tooltip player_id='379494' first='Billy' last='Smith'] will be eager to show that he can lead this offense and his team back to the state championship game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/cbaker_nj/status/1560761690957938688","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/cbaker_nj/status/1560761690957938688 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='378676' first='Jacob' last='Zamot'], Millville 2024</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zamot is a quarterback who has garnered much hype and high expectations throughout the summer. Zamot will be taking over a talented state championship contending team who has a new coach. Zamot has looked good in 7-on-7s this summer and he carried that momentum to Millville's first scrimmage. Where they destroyed Middletown HS in Delaware 30-0. Now comes the first real action of the season at Battle At The Beach against Jefferson. Where Zamot will look to show off his beautiful deep ball and lead Millville back to the state championship game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zamot has Power 5 interest from schools such as Rutgers, Syracuse, and Penn State. It is worth monitoring how he starts the season and which one of these schools gives him an actual offer based on his early season performance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JacobZamot/status/1560249915309281285","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JacobZamot/status/1560249915309281285 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='183502' first='Riley' last='Gunnels'], Ocean City 2023</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gunnels is a talented and underrated quarterback without an offer. Grandson of a former NFL quarterback and son of John [player_tooltip player_id='183502' first='Riley' last='Gunnels'] III who lead Ocean City to a state championship in 1984. Gunnels will look to start the season out strong and lead his young team. Gunnels is a quarterback who plays with great poise and can take advantage of every level of the football field with a prototypical quarterback frame standing at 6'4 215. We have no doubts Gunnels will be one of the top quarterback performers of the weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JSZ_Sports/status/1559918869942358018","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JSZ_Sports/status/1559918869942358018 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/rileygunnels/status/1465742406469537795","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/rileygunnels/status/1465742406469537795 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='146477' first='Robert' last='Long'], St. Peter's Prep 2023 </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Champ Long has the ability to make all the throws. He's not only talented but a gifted passer especially down in the deep portions of the football field and on the run. With [player_tooltip player_id='187876' first='Zion' last='Fowler'], the top player in the 2023 class and newly added [player_tooltip player_id='220088' first='Kenyon' last='Massey'] the top wide receiver in the 2024 class. He will have a bevy of top wide receiver options to throw to and he looks to have a strong day and look to shatter last year's touchdown total of 18. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/champlong7/status/1542203084016963585","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/champlong7/status/1542203084016963585 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
