What impresses me about DeLacey is his ability to maneuver the pocket as well as his arm strength. I also like DeLacey's passing ability, proving he can connect with his receivers from along the edge. DeLacey also showcases his ability to quickly scan the backfield and get the ball out before the defense can make contact.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MeSvAu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6644e29650198"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1154017"],"_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":"I am additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='1154017' first='Steven' last='Smith'], a quarterback at Louisville Central High School. Smith stands out due to his quick release, pin-point accurate passing game and his ability to pick up yards on the ground. I also like how Smith can connect with his receivers quickly off the snap, showing off his ability to withstand the blitz and get the offense in prime scoring position.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2Lf1rHu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6644e2965022a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["873761"],"_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":"Claiming the number three spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='873761' first='Tyson' last='Sammons'], a quarterback at Greenup County High School. Sammons makes a considerable difference under center due to his durability in the pocket, strong footwork and the ability to run the ball himself. I also like how Sammons can quickly turn the corner and juke out the defense from along the edge.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2LiN5eu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6644e2965028c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735545"],"_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":"Another skilled prospect to watch for is [player_tooltip player_id='735545' first='Andrew' last='Hickey'], a quarterback at Scott County High School.

In addition to excellent versatility, Pelfrey impresses me with his ability to complete the short pass and quickly release the ball under pressure. Pelfrey also showcased his ability to complete the deep pass, hitting his receivers in stride deep in enemy territory.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16204389/63cc8c579a9b2d04b89e2898u0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6644e2965034f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["373073"],"_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":"Also worth mentioning is [player_tooltip player_id='373073' first='Jeremiah' last='Townes'], a quarterback at Louisville Seneca High School.
