<p>This past weekend, <strong>M2 QB Academy</strong> held their annual Showdown Showcase at Stonehill College in Massachusetts with college coaches in attendance. A showcase that began five years ago by Owner/Trainer Mike McCarthy and his staff. The event's mission purpose is to showcase and provide a stage for New England's top Qb's they train, and those who want to learn more about the qb position training they provide to recruits on a yearly basis. The event continues to grow each year with additional high-profile QB recruits mainly from the New England region. Skilled receiver and defensive back prospects are also invited to perform at the event. A significant amount of college coaches from all levels attend the event.</p>

<p> This year, the 2023 showcase was no disappointment. The event is surely on track to be a annual premier showcase that many New England recruits and national college coaches from all levels will want to attend next year. The showcase allows wide receivers and defensive backs to showcase their athletic abilities in a very controlled and safe environment with plenty of opportunity for reps. The staff recognizes top QB performers and hands out Awards & MVP on the last day. This includes observation of these QB's during both days. The following Qb's were the <strong>Top Performers and MVP</strong> chosen by the Coaching Staff from the <strong>PM session</strong>... </p>

Nick has a smooth and fluid release; and showcased his ability to layer and add a touch to his throws. He values attention to detail, and that has allowed him to improve as a player year after year. On Sunday he showed us that he is able to efficiently work through progressions in a 7v7 setting, taking what the defense gives him without forcing any errant throws. Nick's development is peaking at the right time and his recruiting is starting to pick up steam.rnrnu003cstrongu003eHis MVP performance also came with a Division II St. Anselm's Scholarship offer.u003c/strongu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64877d57470be"} /-->

Chase excelled when the pressure was put on him, converting throws that were a must hit in order to qualify and advance into the Finals on Day 2. I was most impressed with his ability to process during 7v7 and throw guys open with anticipation. Chase picked up his first Division I offer a few weeks ago from Wagner, and continues to work hard weekly to improve his game. He will be one of the top quarterbacks in the state this upcoming fall and has aspirations of leading his team back to Gillette.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6489cc19238cf"} /-->

Drew's ability to layer throws and his accuracy both inside and outside of the pocket were on full display. You could make an argument that he was one of the most consistent throwers all weekend in a stacked group.u003cimg class=u0022alignnone size-medium wp-image-862627u0022 src=u0022https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/Drew-Eason.jpg?w=225u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022225u0022 height=u0022300u0022 /u003eu003c/pu003ernu003cp style=u0022text-align: leftu0022u003eHe scored 3rd overall but wasn't far off from taking home Camp MVP honors himself. On top of this he impressed with his confidence and high energy that lifted the other athletes around him. I have no doubt there is more to come from this performance, and I feel that it won't be too much longer before the field general is offered by a Division I program. I expect to see him continue his reign of dominance of the MIAA yet again this coming year as he has his sights set on leading his Methuen squad to a state championship.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6489cc1923975"} /-->
