PRZ CA Showcase Top Performers: Quarterbacks

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was the fourth Prep Redzone Showcase in Southern California since the site's inception and this may have been the deepest crop of quarterbacks we have had.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was extremely difficult picking out a top five to highlight, since 10 players performed well enough to deserve accolades.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a breakdown of the top quarterbacks from the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401257"],"_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":"O'Neal had a scheduling conflict but still took the time to make it for the second half of the showcase which was much appreciated.rnrnHe stood out immediately among the other quarterbacks during the individual drills and one-on-ones. His arm strength is top notch and he throws beautiful deep balls with ease.rnrnO'Neal's release is smooth and he was hitting receivers in stride that he had just met. I wish we could have seen how he tested in the speed drills, but he was the clear MVP regardless.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a8bf99e299f"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Jadenoneal_26/status/1746698711160492214?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/Jadenoneal_26/status/1746698711160492214?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["406732"],"_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":"Villalbazo was great in the agility drills and has a lot of arm strength, particularly on the intermediate throws.rnrnHis accuracy was plus on the short and intermediate throws and he always made the right reads.rnrnHe's a big guy and a natural leader who puts his whole body into his throws.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a8bf99e2a05"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Frankie16082287/status/1743406842255212963?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/Frankie16082287/status/1743406842255212963?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1149022"],"_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":"Zale impressed me with the variety of arm angles he was making good throws with on Sunday.rnrnThe ball jumps out of his hands and he had one of the tightest spirals of the day.
