PRZ WV Combine Top QB Performers & Best of the Rest

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over 100 prospects competed and battled through tough weather conditions at the PRZ WV Combine on Saturday with many standouts making themselves known. Here are the quarterbacks who stood out and were selected as Top Performers by the college coaches in attendance coaching them up along with the best of the rest who deserved a mention too!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Camp MVP</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1234064"],"_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":"We've known that 2026 Lincoln QB [player_tooltip player_id='1234064' first='AJ' last='Bart'] is a talented quarterback but had yet to see him play or have any film available to evaluate heading into the event which made him an intriguing unknown. He answered our questions quickly at the Combine en route to a QB MVP performance while competing with some talented passers in attendance. Bart earned several accolades last season for the Cougars as a sophomore and was a very productive player during his first season as the varsity starter.rnrnBart not only caught our attention during the event but did so with the college coaches in attendance as well who selected him as our QB MVP. He may have been flying under the radar for some before the camp, but that certainly is the case no more, especially once he posts some season film.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6637d37a3b1f7"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AJBart6/status/1786908482450387122","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/AJBart6/status/1786908482450387122 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Top Performers</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["810380"],"_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":"Two out-of-state quarterbacks made the trip to West Virginia to compete with some of our best and finished the camp with QB Top Performer honors.
