He's a high-upside athlete that's effective through the air and with his legs. He flashes burst at the second level and natural playmaking ability as a runner. He shows good pocket composure and movement with the accuracy to put the ball in spots at every level of the field. Joseph picked up a late offer from Old Dominion and signed in February.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ODUFootball/status/1620895435929042944?s=20","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/ODUFootball/status/1620895435929042944?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["145236"],"_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"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f5f6e837373"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rasor presents degrees of finesse and polish in his skillset as a passer at the next level. He possesses talent in his arm that can add air or velocity to his passes when attacking the third level. He's technical in his footwork and gets the ball out on time. He shows great feel and toughness in the pocket waiting for plays to develop and sticking in the pocket against heavy pressure. Rasor's an intriguing QB add for UC Davis' 2023 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/UCDfootball/status/1605583521514283010?s=20","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/UCDfootball/status/1605583521514283010?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384805"],"_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"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f5f6e8373cc"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barr produced a massive junior season completing 207/336 passes for over 3,300 and 55 TDs before being injured for parts of his senior season. He's a savvy QB that has proven ability to create plays and distribute the ball with accuracy at the first/second levels. He flashes a quick, side-arm action on his throwing motion and the confidence to squeeze the ball into tight windows against coverage. Barr signed with Cal Poly on ESD. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Ingrid40988953/status/1606084657136574464?s=20","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/Ingrid40988953/status/1606084657136574464?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["25393"],"_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"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f5f6e83741a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jacobs impressed with his physical traits at 6'6”/205 and high level of production as a senior with over 3,000 passing yards and 37 TDs. He's a strong, physical presence in the pocket with plus-side natural arm strength. He's patient and decisive processing his reads and shows good ball placement towards the sidelines. Jacobs picked up his first D-I offer from FCS Western Illinois in December and remains one of the top unsigned QBs in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jack_jacobs7/status/1618053467893035009?s=20","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/jack_jacobs7/status/1618053467893035009?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["145248"],"_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"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f5f6e837466"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mensah's a true dual-threat QB and a natural improviser at the position. He possesses a strong arm that can stretch the defense vertically. He's comfortable throwing from the pocket and can create plays with his athleticism against heavy rush. He's quick and elusive in space as a runner with ability to make defenders miss in the open field. Mensah committed and signed with Tulane in December. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DarianMensah/status/1603529566160568321?s=20","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/DarianMensah/status/1603529566160568321?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
