Coaches’ Favorites
This next batch of gunslingers left an impression at this event. Great players in their own right, they were identified as strong performers by the coaching staff working the camp. With nearly 300 prospects, I cannot catch everyone’s rep!

Scout’s Notes: Standout Quarterbacks
McCarthy has a plus arm. Not only was he able to sling bullets on short-to-intermediate route patterns, he was also able to air it out on posts, flags, and fades with the best of his contemporaries. Deep passes were on an absolute rope and some passes were even too hot to handle for some of the lesser receivers he took spins with.
Paired with teammate Joseph Irvine Joseph Irvine 6’4″ | 230 lbs | TE Kingsway | 2026 NJ at Kingsway is the fellow rising sophomore David Oravetz David Oravetz 6’0″ | 185 lbs | QB Kinsgway | 2026 NJ . I was impressed with Oravetz’s sound fundamentals in person; however, I was blown away at how advanced his mechanics were considering he was only a freshman. Oravetz has a smooth throwing motion, transfers his weight properly, and sets his base before throwing.
Highlights
Chandler is also a quarterback who possesses good mechanics. He transfers his weight to get the most on his throws, has a quick and compact throwing motion to avoid defenses reacting in time to jump the route and make a play on the ball, while also opening up his hips to get maximum torque on each pass.
