He contains all the desirables of a next level QB, including size, athleticism, and arm strength. Bravieri stands at 6'3, weighs 190 lbs, and runs a 4.6 40 yard dash. Once you turn on the tape, it's easy to see his playmaking ability. Bravieri can throw the ball accurately when both dropping back and on the run. He throws with touch and velocity, often fitting the ball over second level defenders in the seam. And when running the ball, Bravieri can open it up and show off his elite speed. As this rising star heads towards his senior year, keep an eye on Bravieri next fall.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["131488"],"_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":"The Mount Carmel signal caller has won 2 state championships in a row. As he works towards his senior year, Elliott is ready for the three-peat. Elliott totaled over 4,000 all-purpose yards and 41 touchdowns last season under center, tallying 3,148 yard and 34 TD's through the air. Elliott is a dynamic passer who can make any throw on the field, whether it's vertical, over the middle of the field, or down the sidelines. He is equally dynamic in the quarterback run game, as Elliott possesses a rare combination of speed and elusiveness that makes him difficult to tackle 1-on-1. This do-it-all quarterback is beginning to see his recruitment heat up, and rightfully so, as Elliott may finish next season as the top quarterback in the Land of Lincoln.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["118787"],"_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":"Malachuk is a two-time state champ who is hungry for one more next season. The Nazareth Academy prospect led the Roadrunners on an incredible playoff run last season, using both his arm and his legs to give opposing defenses' nightmares. Malachuk is one of the more accurate passers in the Class of 2025, as he throws with a quick release and great anticipation. He is incredibly agile in the pocket, as Malachuk can extend plays in the face of pressure while keeping his eyes down the field for explosive passes. In the quarterback run game, Malachuk is shifty in short space and can outrun defenders to the edge. He displays the arm strength, accuracy, and elusiveness that makes him a true dual-threat quarterback. As he prepares for his senior campaign, Malachuk's stock is soaring.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["252528"],"_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":"Parades is a dynamic dual-threat quarterback from Plainfield East. The 6'1, 170 lbs prospect got it done both in the air and on the ground last fall. In the quarterback run game, Parades shows extremely comfortability with the ball in his hands. He is a shifty and physical runner, unafraid to take it between the tackles or on the outside. In the pass game, Parades legs allow him to extend plays and maneuver the pocket to buy extra throwing time. From there, his impressive arm strength takes over, as Parades can push the ball vertically and accurately hit shorter throws anywhere on the field. A rising star in the Illinois Class of 2025 quarterback class, keep an eye on Parades throughout next fall.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["830856"],"_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":"Ritter is an intriguing quarterback prospect in the Class of 2025, as the former Lincoln-Way East quarterback and current Marist Academy signal caller is excited to show off his skills in the fall. Ritter has a dynamic arm and is an impressive runner. He can make most throws on the field, including accuracy on deep balls and velocity on mid-level throws. No matter how tight the window, Ritter has the poise and arm strength to fit it in. On the ground, Ritter is both elusive and quick, meaning he can juke multiple defenders and accelerates in a hurry to out-run defenders. As one of the more underrated Class of 2025 quarterbacks, look for Ritter to light it up next fall.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d5305190d2f"} /-->

The Class of 2025 in the Land of Lincoln is loaded with talent at every position. Below are some Class of 2025 signal callers who burst onto the scene last season. As they prepare for their senior seasons, keep an eye on these dual-threat quarterbacks who are rising up recruiting boards.
