He certainly has the arm strength on intermediate and deep routes, but can develop this offseason with improving the use of his footwork and accelerating his touch throws with his receiving core on short routes out of the backfield. There is some upside we saw with his testing numbers, as he ran a 4.7 pro agility so his growth going into his senior season is certainly there for the taking as Chason also did show from my eyes good balance with his feet.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/ChasonSchu1u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["516806"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":1116555,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Caleb made my first team All-Camp Team for a reason, as his poise and well-versed awareness within the pocket certainly carried over from his 2023 season. From what my eyes saw on Sunday in Jamestown, Caleb showed off excellent balance with his arm strength and accuracy and was a 2025 QB prospect that has a sound knowledge using the proper speed with his arm strength based on the routes he was throwing with his wide receivers. There is certainly a reason why on tape that Caleb flashes with his change of direction in the red zone as he posted a 7.4 in the L-Drill and a 4.6 with his pro agility and that consistent quick change of direction is seen simply on tape. Caleb certainly looks like a next-level prospect in my eyes.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/CJohns_18u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["674677"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":1116564,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Jax was a second-team QB on my All-Camp Team and is one that I have been tracking for over a year now and I have liked the growth of his skillsets he has made. He shows off really smooth awareness within the pocket and despite not being the biggest quarterback out there, he showed off elusive athletic mobility with the reps I watched in Jamestown. This young man also has a fiery quick release and his field vision certainly shows off a QB prospect that has a quickly growing football IQ. He shows off solid touch on his throws and can develop his arm strength swifter this offseason when throwing the run, as Jax will take over as QB1 for powerhouse Fargo Shanley and will be another QB to watch into his junior season for the Deacons.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/JaxMatternu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1113075"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":1116579,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Dylan was a 2024 QB prospect that is still uncommitted looking for a home, and showed off his athleticism in the early drills for his 6'2 170 pound frame at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase as I was impressed with his dexterity. He also showed fluidity when I watched him in testing at the broad jump, as that consistent flexibility I saw was consistent throughout the early part of the session. During Indy drills, Dylan showed off a reactive trigger with his quick release and you could tell is a prospect that lays out on a tape as a two-way prospect that plays with sound instincts and is used to the tougher throws. If you are still a college program looking to fill out your 2024 class and are looking for a prospect with position flexibility, Dylan certainly is one you will want to know.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/dylan_mitzu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1113087"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":1116533,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Xavier was a 2026 QB prospect out of Fargo Davies that certainly in the early drills from evaluating him, passed my eye test at 6'2 205 pounds based on his athletic frame he showed off. He also showed off some intriguing testing numbers in the 40-yard dash. Where Xavier flashed in my eyes was in our Indy drills, as I was impressed with his mobility at his size and his throwing mechanics showed off a QB prospect that has plenty of upside to grow into. He also showed off a quick release and good poise that will continue to develop with two more years of high school football at his disposal. I will be waiting to see more tape out of this young man over the coming months.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/XaviermuseQBu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["825394"],"_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":"Check out our Gamechangers article u003ca href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/2023/12/gamechangers-meet-the-mvps-from-the-prz-dakotas-showcase/u0022u003ehereu003c/au003e for our evaluation on our Prep Redzone Dakotas QB MVP Maple Valley's [player_tooltip player_id='825394' first='Tee' last='Sylling'].","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657bc0608d419"} /-->
