Breakout Sophomore Quarterbacks From the 2022 Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The off-season is in full swing, and off-season training is already underway for some programs across the state. Teams are looking toward the 2023 season and what is to come. Today, however, I wanted to take a look back at the 2022 season, in particular which 2025 quarterbacks had breakout seasons. These guys were key cogs for their respective programs at the varsity level and made their presence felt. Virginia's 2025 class as a whole has some really talented quarterback prospects in the pipeline and I think after the 2022 season these young men should be thrown into that group as well. Keep an eye on these young men this off-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you have any prospects you'd like for me to watch, please @ them to me on Twitter at @hsfbscout!</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='193649' first='Austin' last='Mawyer'], 6'1" 180, Liberty</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Shows balanced footwork regardless of what's going on around him.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Has the arm and touch to challenge deep half-safeties.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Houdini like when the pocket collapses and he's forced to improvise.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Displayed a quick set-up when under duress.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Extremely accurate on throws of twenty yards plus.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='372988' first='Camren' last='Boykin'], 6'2" 180, The Potomac School</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Has a twitchy upper half for tight window throws that need extra mustard.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Can throw receivers open with his arm talent.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Consistent accuracy on all three levels, completing 69% of his passes.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Willing to sit in the pocket and work a progression, shows no signs of happy feet.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Squares his shoulders to his target when forced to make throws outside the pocket.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Tae Thompson, 6'1" 165, William Campbell</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Exceptional ball placement on vertical throws.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>A highly skilled runner with terrific short-area quickness.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Willing to check the ball down if nothing is open downfield.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>With rushers bearing down, Thompson climbs the pocket with his eyes scanning coverage.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Identifies man coverage pre-snap and will take a shot downfield.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Jason Williams, 6'3" 175, Salem</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Easily transitions his lower half to get the most on long downfield throws. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Drives the football on field-side intermediate throws.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Deep vertical throws are placed right on the money in stride.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>A catch-one-two-thrower on quick game concepts.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Is a well-oiled anticipatory thrower.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='185396' first='Taegan' last='Logan'], 6' 200, Trinity Episcopal</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Stands tall in the pocket with free rushers coming inbound.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Shows impressive touch and ball placement throwing on the move.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Places redzone corner routes right in front of the back pylon. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>A teardrop thrower who can place the football between two defenders.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Has a quick release with no wasted motion. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
