As a freshman, Braylen threw for about 2100 yards with 24 touchdowns. On the ground, he rushed for 753 yards while accounting for 12 touchdowns to put his total at 36 on the year. This 2026 prospect has loads of potential and natural talent. Braylen has superior arm strength for his age, as well as awareness and playmaking capability. I was most impressed with Williams's arm talent. He displayed next level accuracy on his deep balls and also a nice touch when need be. Braylen has a calm presence within the pocket that allows him to accurately assess what he sees on the field. There were also completions that he was able to seamlessly fit into tight windows, displaying his precision. His arm talent is almost, if not more, impressive as his ability as a runner.  This kid is a problem when he uses his legs. He has skilled position abilities with the ball in his hand that make it impossible for defenders to get a consistent read on how to tackle him.. With that being said, I would compare [player_tooltip player_id='691276' first='Braylen' last='Williams'] to Anthony Richardson, former Florida Gator. A slightly smaller version. Mainly due to his unique skill-set, his calmness on the field, and overall natural ability as a passer and rusher.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["691280"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='691280' first='Keonnis' last='Davis'] is a prospect out of Tylertown that I can really see putting out a break out type of season this coming fall. Davis is a 2026 Quarterback with great decision making skill and sneaky athleticism. Keonnis takes what the defense gives him and often makes the right plays for his offense. He has poise at this age that is rare to see at his position. This kid has the ability to deliver passes under duress with accuracy. He has great feet, and his unconventional throwing motion allows him to complete passes using a variation of arm angles. That can be a blessing and a curse for a young Quarterback, but it often works in Keonnis's favor. As a freshman last year, this kid amassed nearly 2500 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and completed 64% of his passes. He was also able to rush for 2 touchdowns and over 400 yards. This early success is due to Davis's prowess as a passer of the football. I was most impressed with his touch on short and intermediate throws. Keonnis consistently places the ball in a favorable position for his wide-outs in order for them to make plays. He reminds me of Florida State Quarterback Jordan Travis. They both have unconventional styles that work for them and also count as a run threat offensively.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["654997"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='654997' first='Coby' last='King'] is a prospect out of the 2025 class that was a joy to watch and do a comparison on. He is a Quarterback out of Greene County that has shown great qualities and abilities as a QB1. Coby has decent mechanics in the pocket, but his throwing motion is different, yet, ambiguously accurate in terms of productivity. At times, King appears to be pushing the ball when he throws it. However, that's not how the ball comes out in terms of its placement, the trajectory of the ball, and how far it travels. Coby is adept at leading his receivers with the football and throwing guys open. He is a competitively smart player that gives his guys opportunities to make plays with the decisions he makes. Coby was able to put up nearly 2500 passing yards in his sophomore campaign while completing 67 percent of his passes. That will to win coupled with his deceptive speed and sneaky athleticism allowed him to rush for 7 touchdowns and 300 yards on the ground as well. King's unselfish temperament, poise, and style of quarterbacking compel me to compare him to Devin Leary, former NC State and now Kentucky Quarterback. Take a look at both of these guys' highlights and you'll see the similarities.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["306335"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='306335' first='Emile' last='Picarella'] is a 2025 Quarterback prospect out of Madison St. Joseph that has star written all over him. Emile posses great mechanics, good feet, and a smooth throwing motion that is as polished as anybody's in the state. This kid has amazing arm talent that allow him to make almost any throw on the field. He often gets through his reads in a hurry to make anticipatory throws to different targets. Emile has good placement on his passes and can drop intermediate to deep balls in a bucket. He also has the ability to make throws on or off platform without setting his feet. Picarella's arm talent is complimented well by his knack for extending plays. He's not a monumental threat as a runner, but he has the athleticism and capabilities that allow a quarterback to make plays out of extenuating circumstances. In his sophomore season, [player_tooltip player_id='306335' first='Emile' last='Picarella'] was able to put up respectable numbers. He put up over 2100 yards passing, while completing passes at a 65% rate and accounting for over 20 touchdowns.  Emile's quick processor, arm talent, and overall approach to the position leads me to compare him to Seth Henigan out of Memphis. If you are not familiar with either of these guy, check out both of their tapes. You'll see why I compared them.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643dc19896434"} /-->
