With a strong arm and excellent touch, Duckworth delivers accurate passes at all levels of the field- his ability to launch the ball downfield with precision allows him to stretch defenses and create big plays in the passing game. Not only is Duckworth a proficient passer, but he also possesses great athleticism and mobility that allow him to be a threat on the ground, using his speed, agility, and elusiveness to evade defenders and gain yardage. Whether it's executing designed quarterback runs or improvising when the pocket collapses, Duckworth consistently showcases his ability to make plays with his legs. Last fall Duckworth put up some big numbers- recording 1985 passing yards and 20 touchdowns in the air with an additional 355 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns. Teams like Florida, Arkansas, Mississippi State, and more have all sent offers his way!rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["401131"],"_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='401131' first='Noah' last='Schuback'] is a highly skilled pocket passer who possesses excellent poise and accuracy in the pocket and put it on full display for Hoover in limited time last fall. Schuback has great awareness and reads the field to deliver precise passes very well- he routinely shows the ability to thread the needle and fit the ball into tight windows with his exceptional accuracy and ball placement. Schuback's arm talent is evident in his ability to make all the necessary throws on the field. Whether it's a deep ball down the sideline, a quick slant over the middle, or a touch pass to the corner of the end zone, he has the arm strength and touch to put the ball exactly where it needs to be. Last fall Schuback showed this with his 541 yards and 4 touchdowns in just a few games starting- leading him to picking up offers from Virginia Tech, Purdue, and Ole Miss!rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["401079"],"_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='401079' first='Brock' last='Bradley'] is an super talented QB out of Spain Park that is going to be a huge problem for defenses for years to come. Bradley has a strong arm that allows him to zip the ball around the field, delivering accurate strikes to his receivers no matter where they are located. Bradley's ability to make tight throws and fit the ball into small windows showcases his arm strength and precision, and the way he can hit receivers in stride and that are heavily covered is very impressive as well. Bradley also has the agility and quickness to escape pressure and extend plays outside the pocket- his ability to make throws on the run adds another dimension to his game, allowing him to keep plays alive and find open receivers downfield. Bradley had a huge year last fall where he recorded 2107 passing yards and 21 touchdowns on the year. With numbers like that, tons of schools like Texas A@M, Memphis, West Virginia and more have sent offers his way!","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["293796"],"_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='401135' first='Qadir' last='Lyle'] is a talented quarterback with exceptional scrambling ability. Lyle has some impressive elusiveness and agility with the capability to extend plays and make things happen with his legs. Whenever the pocket collapses or passing options are limited, Lyle is great at using his mobility to evade defenders and create opportunities. If its not a passing play, Lyle thrives on QB runs where his speed and quickness let him make big time plays on the ground. When you pair that up with his ability to throw the ball as well, it makes game planning as a defense against him a headache. Lyle is just a dynamic playmaker with a ton of potential- be on the lookout for him this fall- when he sees the field plays are going to be made!","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["595070"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='595070' first='Mason' last='Burkhardt'] is a standout quarterback at Wicksburg that has a strong arm that allows him to make big-time throws downfield. Burkhardt can push the ball deep, he possesses the arm strength to challenge defenses vertically, creating explosive plays in the passing game. Burkhardt's ability to generate velocity and throw with accuracy on longer throws enables him to connect with receivers on deep routes, giving his offense the potential for big gains and game-changing plays. In addition to his arm strength, Burkhardt demonstrates poise and confidence in his decision-making- he understands when to take shots downfield and when to check down to shorter, more efficient options- his ability to read defenses and make the appropriate throws based on coverage helps him maximize the effectiveness of his strong arm. Last fall Burkhardt had a great year- recording 804 passing yards and 9 touchdowns, with 53 rushing yards and one touchdown on the ground as well! Keep an eye on him going forward!","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6495e46943ba4"} /-->
