Early Season Stock Risers: San Diego QBs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Taking a look at some of the early passing leaders and stock-risers in San Diego through weeks 0-3. San Marcos freshman Kreet Makihele leads all passers in yards and TDs and has looked extremely impressive early in his career. Reggie Johnson had a standout performance in the SoCal Honor Bowl against a strong Desert Vista team (AZ), locking up San Diego's only win in last weekend's series. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_631880fe43cd7","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kreet Makihele","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"San Marcos","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The freshman QB has been an early breakout player in San Diego with over 1,000 yards and 12 TDs. He's been productive and efficient with a completion percentage over 70% and 2 INTs, both against Mira Mesa. He shows natural arm talent with ability to throw from the pocket or on the run. He can push the ball towards the sideline with accuracy and velocity. Makihele will have more opportunities to put his name on the radar with big games in October against Carlsbad and Mission Hills.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/kreet_makihele/status/1566226588751908865?s=20u0026t=La_Pu582Gfbm0dygiTVylw","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/kreet_makihele/status/1566226588751908865?s=20&amp;t=La_Pu582Gfbm0dygiTVylw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6318813543cd8","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Reggie Johnson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Madison","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson guided Madison's offense going 25/32 for 364 yards and 4 TDs in their 35-0 SoCal Honor Bowl win over Desert Vista (AZ). The returning starter has shown continued growth as a passer and looks comfortable distributing from the pocket. He's made impressive connections on deep passes putting air under the ball and showing good ball placement. Johnson and Madison's defense have put up three dominant performances to start the season and will look to keep it going into their early October matchup with Cathedral Catholic.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SanSpotlight/status/1561134506282602497?s=20u0026t=La_Pu582Gfbm0dygiTVylw","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/SanSpotlight/status/1561134506282602497?s=20&amp;t=La_Pu582Gfbm0dygiTVylw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_631881b243cda","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["406678"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stump's been an early stock-riser posting 930 passing yards and 11 TDs through three games.

He's a smaller QB at 5'9” with a live, accurate arm. He has a smooth, effortless release and can layer the ball into tight spots. He shows speed and elusiveness making plays with his legs and ability to make guys miss in space.

He looks bigger and stronger than he did as the starter last season and should continue to develop his 6'2”-6'3” frame. He has a strong arm that can push the ball downfield and stands tall in the pocket stepping into his throws. He's accurate over the middle of the field and can get the ball out on quick-hitters. Line has underrated upside that should generate recruiting activity with a productive junior season.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/line_tyson/status/1564359366853087232?s=20u0026t=La_Pu582Gfbm0dygiTVylw","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/line_tyson/status/1564359366853087232?s=20&amp;t=La_Pu582Gfbm0dygiTVylw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>More Risers:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Joshua Bell- Mt.
