A real dual threat kid, Gavin showcases a really impressive skillset. He is really good about tucking and running when things break down, but he also makes good decisions when he drops back to pass. He has a bit of an unorthodox armslot when he releases it, but it doesn’t seem to impact his accuracy or the zip on his throws. He’s got a strong arm and I like that he makes broken plays a net positive. I look forward to seeing him continue to work on his craft, as he has a very good set of tools at the QB position.
I really enjoy watching Ryan throw it. I’ve seen him in some 7V7 action slinging it all over the yard to a plethora of WRs. He has a good base, the ball comes off his hand nicely and he does a great job leading receivers in stride. I look forward to seeing him compete this fall, as I think that offense on his arm will be an entertaining brand of football. Look for him to have a standout year in that pass heavy offense.
Highlights
Keyes is a really underrated prospect. After making the move to Jackson, he has steadily improved in all facets of the game. His pocket awareness is really good, and he can manipulate the defense with his eyes with ease. His accuracy seems to be improving, and from everything I have heard this offseason, he’s been a student of the game trying to improve. I’d love to see Aspen Keyes Aspen Keyes 6’2″ | 190 lbs | QB Grand Ledge | 2025 MI prove the doubters wrong about him after a tough beginning!
Highlights
I have mentioned Jake before, and I will continue to beat this drum until he starts to get the respect he deserves! He’s got a big arm, is a fantastic scrambler, and always keeps his eyes downfield. He really doesn’t lose a lot of power when throwing cross body or off balance when under pressure. It has been difficult for him to develop as a pocket passer as he has been under a lot of pressure in his career, but if he gets a shot at the next level, I think he can make a ton happen in a clean pocket and some college level weapons at his disposal. Coming off a very productive Junior campaign, I hope folks at the next level are taking notes on him this year.
