Top Quarterbacks from the PSR Big Showcase
Although he plays for the Cougars, this Colts Neck signal caller walks around like he slings a colt .45. Beninato was not the biggest quarterback in attendance, but he was one who did a nice job leading is intended target to safe, open spaces with the ball. If the showcase was a game simulation, no receivers were ever in danger of being leveled and were only in prime position for a catch-and-run when Beninato was throwing it their way.
Highlights
In my opinion Grusser is one of the best, underrated quarterbacks in the class of 2024. By way of Wayne, the St. Joseph’s Regional product showed that he can simply make every throw, in any situation, to any part of the field. He delivered the ball with zip and sizzle and looked in sync with receivers he never hooked up before and who were of all varying abilities.
Only a rising junior, Absegami’s Armstrong showed me tremendous moxie as he received snaps and delivered strikes throughout the afternoon. He was not necessarily flashy, but had a little bravado when he was calling the shots. Game-wise, he instinctually moved in the pocket to set up better throwing angles for himself.
Highlights
As a prospect Peck has the size to compete at any level of college football. He also has the competitive nature to succeed at whatever college he ends up at. Peck came across as a bit of a throwback gunslinger who challenged both defensive backs and his intended target alike. He made somewhat daring throws in the vicinities of defensive backs, while also demanding production from his targets. Either way, Peck was in control when he was out there.
A local product, Macaluso showed tremendous upside with many of the things he did on the field. His ball has great zip on it and he can flick the ball effortlessly downfield 40 yards with a mere snap of his wrist; however, he seemed to be generating this power from solely his arm and shoulder. Should Macaluso’s footwork solidify, I would suggest that his receivers use tape to reinforce their fingers.
