Zollers has prototypical quarterback size at 6-foot-4 and 205-pounds. By the time he sees the field at the collegiate level, Zollers will likely be pushing the 230-pound mark. Zollers is having a terrific junior season for Spring-Ford and has picked up offers from Old Dominion and Pittsburgh over the last several months. Other programs including Penn State are watching him closely as well.rnrnWhen turning on the Zollers tape, it's easy to see why he's become a name to know at the FBS level. Not only does he have the prototypical size for a quarterback, but he has the entire skillet. He's a very good athlete and an improviser at that. He's not the type of quarterback who panics when things are going wrong, very intelligent player from before the snap until the play is over.rnrnHas good mechanics and food work, an effortless arm as well who has the capability to throw dimes well down the field of 40-50 yards. Shows superb accuracy at all levels of the field and puts a ton of zip on the ball. It comes out of his hand like a rocket which when combined with his accuracy is a deadly combination. Rarely makes poor decisions which is emphasized by his zero interceptions so far this season. Throws passes with good anticipation and leads his wide receivers without putting them in dangerous situations.rnrnThere's a very good chance he moves up inside our top-30, 25 prospects in the 2025 recruiting cycle.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["222655"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14775118/6510799cd21c49052cc481ffu0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003eu003c/strongu003ernrnu003cstrongu003eSTATS: u003c/strongu003e102-for-132, 1,676 Yards, 28 TD, 0 INTrnrnJohnson is somebody that we talk about a lot but still probably don't give enough. Now with half the season gone, I think its very fair to say that Johnson is in the conversation for being the state's top quarterback in 2023. He's been nothing short of dominant for a Mannheim Township team that looks destined to make a deep run in the state playoff race this fall.  He's on pace to eclipse his career highs in passing yards and has already set a career high in touchdowns with 28.rnrnJohnson shows a lot of what Zollers shows as a quarterback. He not only has a great arm with good accuracy and touch, but he's also a very good scrambler and improviser with the ball in his hands. With the ball in his hands, he's a very dangerous ball carrier with great vision and good athleticism. He's not afraid of contact and is willing to deliver blows to defenders as well. Throws the ball with a good zip but also with anticipation and often leads his wide receivers while showing the ability to throw balls into tight windows routinely. His athleticism is very good as well as he clocked a 4.62 forty-yard dash at a Penn State camp this summer. I believe Johnson is firmly an FCS quarterback with the potential to be a walk-on at least at the FBS level.rnrnHe'll be a top-five quarterback in this 2024 cycle for me during our next update.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["377418"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15430491/6512415ed21c49052cc72350u0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003eu003c/strongu003ernrnu003cstrongu003eSTATS:u003c/strongu003e 112-for-166, 1,646 Yards, 25 TD, 1 INTrnrnThe Manheim Central quarterback was impressive as a junior but has followed up that year with another terrific season so far in 2023, proving that last year was no fluke. Not the biggest quarterback, but by no means small either, checking in at 6-foot-0 and 190-pounds.rnrnA more prototypical pocket passer, Hahn isn't a quarterback who is going to take off often, but he does have the ability to make defenders miss with his legs when he does look to make a play with his legs. Hahn has good mechanics with a quality release time. His passes have a good zip on the ball, and he shows good accuracy on a majority of his passes. Really intriguing senior quarterback who is still looking for a home at the next level. Believe he would be a very good Division II quarterback, but could have the upside of playing at the FCS level.rnrnHahn could move into our top 250 or higher prospects in the next ranking if he continues his strong play.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["147011"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/6853097/64fe56b46e80f80ac47103c4u0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003eu003c/strongu003ernrnu003cstrongu003eSTATS: u003c/strongu003e88-of-128, 1,683 Yards, 23 TD, 2 INTrnrnPlaying on a very talented Pittsburgh Central Catholic, Wehner has been great as a senior for the Vikings. He's going to make sure that he moves up in our next rankings update. He is mostly a pocket passer but has the ability to be a dual-threat quarterback and shows that routinely thanks to running quite a bit of RPOs for PCC. He has good arm strength, shows good accuracy and throws the ball with anticipation and zip at all levels. He's someone who has risen up my personal rankings quite a bit and I'm sure he'll be ranked quite a bit higher in our next update as mentioned above.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["386133"],"_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":"u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13102753/64fcde60d21b4e0300476cc8u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eHUDLu003c/strongu003eu003c/au003ernrnu003cstrongu003eSTATS: u003c/strongu003e131-of-186, 1,813 Yards, 20 TD, 1 INTrnrnNagle has been a quarterback who has really taken a big step forward this fall, especially from an accuracy and decision-making standpoint. After throwing 26 interceptions over his first two seasons as a starting quarterback, the 5-foot-11 signal-caller has dramatically cut down on his turnovers while increasing his completion percentage by 5% as well.rnrnHe may not be the most physically gifted quarterback in the state but has a great competitiveness and u0022moxieu0022 to his game that makes him a great quarterback. That being said, he does have good arm strength and shows a nice touch on his passes, whether it's a short screen pass or a pass 20+ yards down the field. The improvement in his accuracy and decision-making over the last few years has been incredibly impressive, however.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["769138"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/16257034/jase-ferguson/highlightsu0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003eu003c/strongu003ernrnu003cstrongu003eSTATS: u003c/strongu003e79-of-119, 1,533 Yards, 28 TD, 2 INTrnrnThe junior quarterback has a very similar rise this season to Nagle's. Ferguson who threw 28 interceptions in his first two seasons as a starting quarterback is now completing 66% of his passes while having a 14:1 TD-INT ratio. Heading into this season that was our biggest hit on Ferguson but with these stats doesn't appear to be nearly as concerning of an issue anymore. Good athletic quarterback who can make plays happen with both his legs and his arm. Shows quality arm strength, good enough for short and intermediate routes, but will need to get stronger to hit the deep balls at a higher percentage of times. Has some promising traits overall, however and is a quarterback to watch in the 2025 recruiting class. Already has shown good signs in his development, I'm sure he's not done either.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6524604d2b023"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Have information regarding a prospect or team that you believe would be useful for us to know?
