Escapes from pressure easily and can be a chain-mover with his legs.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eSuper easy, fluid passer. Very quick throwing motion and generates plenty of velocity on the ball with just the flick of his wrist. Elastic arm capable of mixing up throwing angles.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eCalm in the pocket. Does a good job of quickly getting his feet under him before he throws. His feet, hips, eyes, and arm all appear to operate in good timing and sequence with one another.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eArm strength is absolutely there. Can rip the ball across his body on the move and quickly fire it to the far side of the field. He knows how to mix up velocities to fit certain throws too.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eBall distributor with experience making throws to all levels of the field. Throws with good timing in the short, quick-read game, but he can place the ball over the safeties too.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003ePower Statement:u003c/strongu003e [player_tooltip player_id='426879' first='Rodge' last='Waldrop'] has an argument to be considered the best overlooked 2024 in Georgia.

As a runner, he can move the chains and is not afraid to take on contact.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eEasy thrower, the ball pops off his hand. Puts drive on the throws that need drive and touch on the ones that need touch.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eThreatens the deep-third. High release point puts plenty of trajectory on the ball and allows his receiver to go up and make a play.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eHigh release point also allows him to layer his throws very well, dropping the ball right over defenders and under safeties, making some of the u0022tweeneru0022 throws.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eHas a back-pedal drop, does a good job of hitching at the back of his drop and working his momentum through the pocket. Escapes by stepping up and out instead of bailing.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eGood technique when throwing on the move, gets his shoulders squared to the receiver and rotates to put extra juice on the ball.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003ePower Statement:u003c/strongu003e Christopher Garrett is a record-breaking QB who has improved each year at the helm. He is a good athlete with plus arm talent, but his ability to place the football in hard to reach places with his touch and protect his WRs takes his game to another level.u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Ben Klassen","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Providence Christian ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6'1 195, well filled out at this stage of development.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eDecent athlete, should be considered a pocket passer but looks natural on the run and can redirect plays when protection breaks down.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eVery smooth operator in the pocket. Stands tall and surveys field, sets and aligns feet to target before he throws. Looks off safeties to open up middle of field.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eSchemed on roll-out concepts to move pocket. squares shoulders and works upfield when he throws on run, locates receivers streaking across field. When he can, he resets his feet to deliver a more accurate ball.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eCatcher style delivery and throwing motion, coiling the ball around his ear. Makes for a quicker release, especially when no velocity is sacrificed.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eGood arm-strength, but should be praised more for his touch and timing as a passer.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eDoes an excellent job of hitting his landmarks, throws his WRs open and keeps the ball secure from defenders.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003ePower Statement:u003c/strongu003e Ben Klassen is a decent athlete with projectable measurables and arm strength. However, his ability to deceive the defense with his eyes and hit his receivers in stride off different platforms is the basis of his intrigue. Klassen would be another steal for a small school.u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Sam Nazarian ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Mount Vernon","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003eOn the shorter side at 5'10 175, but has an athletic frame and compensates for height in other ways.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eVery crafty athlete. Will flash when given space to run, slippery and creates whiff tackling attempts. When out on the move, he occupies space with his eyes and forces the defense to remain disciplined at all three levels.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eLooks natural in the pocket. Plays poised, possesses a slight hop and some ball-patting while surveying field. Shows that he has a natural grasp for the position and plays with gamesmanship.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eLong, gunslinger style release. Rips ball across body.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eMixes up release point to make several different throws. Can fit the ball around numerous different coverages and has the arm strength to unlock the entire field.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eCan play with his arm and upper body detached from his lower body, makes for some magical off-platform and off-balanced throws.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003ePower Statement:u003c/strongu003e Sam Nazarian is a great athlete with the ability to hit throws all over the field and make plays with his feet. Still, he appears under controlled and has the look of a prospect that has mastered the QB spot at this stage of his growth.u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Ethan Evangelista","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Harlem","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6'2 170 lanky frame.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eImpressive athlete with run production. He is sudden and twitchy, dodging pressure in the pocket and quickly redirecting plays when the scramble drill ensues.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eNavigates pocket well. Plays with firm base, but knows when to create once the pressure breaks down. Steps up to evade and will then spill.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e3/4ths, sometimes sidearm style release. Maintains that release when throwing the deep ball, and doesn't appear to have problems layering it over defenders.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eNot a quick motion as he sets up to throw, but rips the ball in his throwing motion, which compensates.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eSuper tough player. Will embrace contact when out on the move and can hang back an extra second in the pocket to take hits as he fires.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eCrafty when on the move and can make off-platform throws.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003ePower Statement:u003c/strongu003e Ethan Evangelista is a long, lanky, and raw QB prospect. However, he has the arm strength to rip the ball across the field and is a good enough runner to open up the rest of the game. Not to mention, he is tough and willing to lay his body on the line for any extra yards.u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6568102048f86"} /-->

The transfer portal is dominating the headlines. However, there are still several class of 2024 prospects that can fill out rosters at the next level. Here are a few uncommitted QBs to keep track of. The high school ranks in Georgia are not completely tapped just yet, which should make these guys and several others to be mentioned later hot commodities over the next several weeks, across all collegiate levels.
