In 11 games last year, Eastridge recorded 80 completions out of 131 attempts for 1,220 yards and 11 touchdowns. While Eastridge has great size, speed and field awareness, what makes him so dangerous is his arm strength and accuracy as he can quickly connect with his receivers on deep passes. Eastridge should be an interesting quarterback prospect to keep an eye on during his sophomore season of high school football this year.

O’Hara showcased both his impressive arm strength and his accurate passing game last year, connecting with receivers all over the field. O’Hara was also efficient under pressure, using his speed to outplay defenses all season long. Entering the 2023 campaign, O’Hara should be another interesting quarterback prospect to watch.
