Here we are with his first mention on the site as a Freshman at St. Joseph's Prep. The young man has a long road ahead of him, through many different angles that statement holds true. With [player_tooltip player_id='164520' first='Samaj' last='Jones'] working to lead the Hawks to another State Championship Title, with [player_tooltip player_id='141986' first='Tre' last='Henning'] working his behind off through the system, with other QBs developing next to Foulke, nothing coming ahead is going to be given. That being said, Foulke leads the class in terms of recruiting attention. Uncommitable offers from Georgia, Maryland, Pitt, to name a few, Foulke is a well-known name that has climbed the ranks as a seventh, eighth, now ninth grader. If Foulke's tape wasn't promising, we wouldn't place him at the top of this list. This is a preliminary list that could get flipped upside down in a matter of months. For now, Foulke leads the pack thanks to production, work ethic, solid size, and recruiting attention.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64dfaf636afbb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402197"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"One spot behind Foulke is Roman Catholic's [player_tooltip player_id='402197' first='Bryce' last='Carter']. Someone is feeding this young man the right things. 6'3, 215 as an incoming freshman, plenty of reps under his belt. The young man already boasts what many college coaches would deem a college-ready build. Let's not get it twisted, this kid still has to grow into his body, mature, and hit the weight room, but we can't ignore just how far ahead he is in what is one of the more crucial make-or-break traits when recruiting a high school passer. Carter's got the look, 4.0 GPA too. 10u0022 hands to boot. I'm not as informed as to what his 8th-grade tape conveys, I can go off Twitter clips and what I've seen in camps to know this is one QB coaches will have their eye on. He'll presumably be behind one of the best quarterback prospects the state has to offer in [player_tooltip player_id='386284' first='Semaj' last='Beals'].","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64dfaf636b01e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["419266"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Probably the u0022surestu0022 bet among this group. The most technically proficient and seasoned passer on this list in terms of quarterback etiquette. Footwork is further along, efficient release, one that still needs work of course. Like where he keeps the ball when working a drop back, like how he keeps his upper body and head tight. Bishop McDevitt's [player_tooltip player_id='419266' first='Sebastian' last='Williams'] is looking like the QB on this list with the highest floor. Williams will leao throw with tempo, with leveling, with depth perception as he grows into the position. The young passer is poised in both demeanor and throughout camp settings. The top-ranked passer in Pennsylvania currently has the reigns at Bishop McDevitt, with [player_tooltip player_id='154352' first='Stone' last='Saunders'] eyeing consecutive State Titles.

Former West Philly Panther now turned Imhotep Panther, McLeish has all the tools, talent, and confidence to be the best quarterback in his class. Attempting to break down his 13U WPP Season highlights is tough than I thought it would be, not to any fault of McLeish's. Might possess the flashiest game on this list, despite his quiet and poised demeanor. Hardly quiet on the field, [player_tooltip player_id='569820' first='Joe' last='McLeish'] can provide a blend of arm talent and flare in the form of decision-making and confidence. McLeish can also tuck the ball and make things happen with his legs, tough kid too with good size for his age. Not shy to drop the shoulder, not shy to try to slip past kids either. Imhotep is all too familiar with quarterbacks who can provide duality.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64dfaf636b0bf"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["697893"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='697893' first='Jake' last='Wilson'] received serious consideration for the top spot on this list. I still believe five is way too low looking back, even though there are studs littered above and below Wilson on this list. Everything will play itself out in time. 6'3, 200-pound quarterback with sharp mechanics pre and post-throw. Stands tall in the pocket, much of his weight sitting on the ball of his back foot. Helmet doesn't drop or pivot too much, love the slight knee bend he works with in the pocket too. The front shoulder is consistently pointing to his target, follow-through is efficient too. Targets well downfield, 8th-grade tape shows Wilson leading his weapon consistently. I would love to get a feel for his arm strength in person. Could take leaps forward correcting footwork. Isn't a statue back there, he can take off if a defense falls asleep. Likely to get to the 6'5 range. LL program had him rolling out at times, he should be comfortable throwing on the run. So many pluses on tape. Kid should be higher on our ranks.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64dfaf636b103"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Jakewils10/status/1603535740192919557?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Jakewils10/status/1603535740192919557?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["953527"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='953527' first='Kenjai' last='Gatling'] places inside the top 30 on this prestigious list. Again, the smoothness and natural flick rivals [player_tooltip player_id='419266' first='Sebastian' last='Williams'] and [player_tooltip player_id='697893' first='Jake' last='Wilson']. The calmest quarterback in the pocket. Works in a shotgun set, receives the snap, gives a clean dropback, makes the correct read as quickly as possible, delivers an accurate ball. This all might seem rudimentary, yet remember we are talking about a kid who hasn't played HS ball yet. Obviously, things won't come this easy, especially working in the PCL. Yet Gatling's promising 8th-grade tape has us thinking he might be further along than some upperclassmen. Gatling didn't always work in shotgun sets last season either, you can see him in I's working a real drop back. It's no wonder as to why his footwork is a bit ahead of the rest of the pack. The kid works the pocket so well, he can feel pressure and step slightly into the pocket when necessary. Gatling can hitch and release if someone is bearing down on him. He can score from 550+ yards out with his legs and feet at the MS level. Excited to see this kid in person.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64dfaf636b146"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JaiGat23/status/1645985828294868994?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaiGat23/status/1645985828294868994?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["706163"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A ton of buzz surrounding Aaron Strader's name all off-season. I got to see a glimpse of what he's capable of at a two-day 7v7, an event that hardly saw a Strader error. What's nice is, Strader is one of the few on this list to post some scrummage footage to look at, so I can get a visual on what to expect for the future at Pine-Richland. Seen working in shotgun sets, ace-formations. Seen working zone-reads with his back in the backfield. I like that the coaches want to take advantage of his athleticism a bit. His third rep shows some poise, no panicking, no eye-darting. Looking through possible QB options on Hudl at PR, I'd imagine he's had some kind of stretch working with the ones. PR is loaded with potential weapons, whoever is behind center Week 0 will have some seasoned vets ready to calm the young mind. 5'10 as an eighth grader, so long as we can get that to 5'11-6'0, the kid should be good to go to maintain life at the position.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64dfaf636b184"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KingOobi/status/1693107638546923828?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KingOobi/status/1693107638546923828?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["914946"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Not at Central Dauphin like the ranking card suggests. At Trinity CH. [player_tooltip player_id='257219' first='Caleb' last='Wray'] has the reigns for what should be a fun season for the Shamrocks. If we look a bit further down the depth chart, we can see a 6'1, 160-pound prospect waiting for his time behind center. 8th-grade highlights show good anticipation for the MS level, duality in his game too, can make throws on the run as well as tuck and run to gain first downs. Works the underneath game, slant, and crossers. Often we see young quarterbacks struggle with the easy things, hitting timing routes that are 8 yards or shorter. This should come to Shank a bit quicker than most.
