Quarterbacks to Watch Out for in Week Two

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gameday is here, and I, for one, couldn't be more excited. Today, we're focusing on the quarterback position heading into week two. These youngsters did some good things in week one, and I believe should be key cogs for their respective teams moving forward. Each prospect listed has a wide array of skills that could bode well at the next level. As of now, one prospect has picked up FBS offers ([player_tooltip player_id='293355' first='Brendan' last='Zurbrugg']), while another has committed to play baseball at the next level ([player_tooltip player_id='198901' first='TJ' last='Takats'], Bowling Green commit). Regardless of whether they have an offer or not right now, these young gunslingers surely can play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='198901' first='TJ' last='Takats'], 6'5" 185, Perrysburg, SR</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>A well-tuned thrower on the run.</li><li>Keeps his eyes downfield, looking for someone to throw to when he's forced outside the pocket.</li><li>Footwork and timing are outstanding.</li><li>Has a quick setup when under duress.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='293355' first='Brendan' last='Zurbrugg'], 6'3" 180, Alliance</em></strong>,<em><strong> JR</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Easily transfers his body weight from his back half to his front half to ensure he gets everything on his throws.</li><li>Has some craftiness as a runner to make something happen when the pocket collapses. </li><li>Squares his shoulders toward his target on sprint outs and boots.</li><li>Shows consistent ball placement as a level three thrower.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='274383' first='Ty' last='Hurst'], 6'2" 175, Tallmadge, SR</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Is a tear dropper right into the bread basket as a vertical thrower.</li><li>Plays with a gunslinger-type mentality.</li><li>Has some serious touch on his vertical throws.</li><li>Comfortable working through a five-man progression.</li><li>Off-platform throws seem to be pretty natural to him.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Kyle Arndt, 6'1" 160, Clyde, SR</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Strong intermediate throwing ability.</li><li>Shows Impressive wiggle against freerushers.</li><li>Puts plenty of air under his deep ball for his target to run underneath it.</li><li>Dual-threat capabilities add another dimension to any offense.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='284633' first='Troy' last='Martin'], 6'2" 200, Reynoldsburg, JR</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Doesn't need a clean pocket to make second and third-level throws.</li><li>Has a sly playing style that is fun to watch on tape.</li><li>Can alter his arm slot to make throws out of awkward angles.</li><li>More than willing to take what the defense gives him.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='152367' first='Tyler' last='Tusai'], 6'4" 210, Padua Franciscan, JR</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Places the football where only his man can go get it.</li><li>Feet are quite calm inside the pocket.</li><li>Has an easy over-the-top motion with a compact spiral to go with it.</li><li>Is quick and decisive off RPOs.</li><li>Turns into a physical runner on the ground when he passes the line of scrimmage. </li></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
