It can be overwhelming trying to navigate it, so here are a few student athletes to highlight when you come across them at camps. These kids have the talent that should stand out from the crowd and prove to be next level prospects. Check them out!
First up is the sophomore signal caller out of Mt. Zion. The 6’2″ 195 lbs sophomore has the size of a college QB already. With the size comes arm strength to zip the ball to every target 20 yards downfield. Stocks does a great job with his pocket mobility. He can make DL miss and buy time without having to bail from the pocket. Keller shows consistent accuracy to every level of the field and can hit his targets in stride while on the move. Keller also brings the threat to tuck it and run with effective speed. The underclassman is building on a solid foundation of talent.
Highlights
Matthew has an excellent set of traits for the QB position. He has the prototypical size at 6’4″ 210 lbs to hold up against the wear and tear of the position. He has quick footwork and his whole body snaps through to get behind the ball when he wants to put it on a rope to any level of the field. The ball jumps out of his hand after a quick release. The ball very consistently finds its mark, right in stride of the receiver. Matthew is also a very quick and confident decision maker. Big things are ahead for the quickly developing 2026.
Highlights
Next up we have the 6’2″ 195 lbs 2026 signal caller out of St. Francis. The first major takeaway is the strong arm. The arm that can hit a target 40+ yards downfield on a rope while rolling to his left. The right handed QB can deliver passes to every level of the field while pressured, off balance, or on the run. The sophomore has the mobility to get out of the pocket to avoid pressure and shows poise by keeping his eyes downfield looking to make a play. On top of all the arm strength and mobility and poise is a passer who is accurate. A passer who always gives his guy a chance at the ball without putting the ball at risk.
Highlights
The 6’2″ 190 lbs lefty signal caller put together an impressive season of tape in 2023. The sophomore showed the arm to be able to drive it deep downfield to receivers running full speed and hitting them in stride. Johnny is a poised passer who stands tall in the pocket, but does have the elusiveness in the pocket to be able to buy time. It is impressive watching him go between power and touch at every level of the field and remaining accurate. He can hit a closing window 25 yards downfield and the next play drop it over an LB and in front of a safety at 25 yards. His control over the ball is impressive, especially for his age. Look for a big summer and fall out of Johnny.
