Eason held scholarship offers from Northern Arizona, Ball State, and Portland State before choosing the Aggies and taking his talents to Davis. He is a big framed quarterback at 6'4" and will only continue to add mass to his frame as he progresses through his senior year and in college. He excels at throwing downfield and has a quick release, but also flashes some under-rated escapability/pocket mobility and an open field burst while doing a nice job at baiting defenders to close in before throwing it over the top.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/axel_eason/status/1805838503735169071","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/axel_eason/status/1805838503735169071 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1338416"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a2adb25ab00"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Niumata is another big time thrower that has a very strong arm, and elite size for the position at 215+ and over 6'4" heading into his Senior season. He checks in just inside the top 40 at his position, and is ranked as a 3-star prospect per 247-Sports. Niumata can throw accurately with good zip and ball placement where his guys can catch it away from defenders at all three levels, and shows pocket mobility as well and can shake off smaller tacklers as well. Very deserving to enter into our rankings, he should be closing in on his first offer sooner rather than later. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Save_Niumata/status/1724624931206631610","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/Save_Niumata/status/1724624931206631610 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1338422"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a2adb25ab52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Butler is one of the top passers in this 2025 class across California, and checks into our rankings in the most recent update. Although not currently holding any offers yet, he is a no brainer next level player and one of the more dynamic athletes across the region heading into this season. He has a big downfield arm and a snappy quick release and can push the ball vertically while putting good air under it and throws a tight spiral. He is a very accurate passer that can fit the ball into tight windows while also showing he is explosive in the run game with a good initial burst and open field speed as well to pull away from defensive backs in the clear. He has been severely under-recruited so far and is one of the biggest sleepers at the QB position across the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/NFLJay15/status/1731257947769221248","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/NFLJay15/status/1731257947769221248 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
