Good throwing motion with fluid movement. Confident as a thrower, willing to throw the ball into tight windows with his solid arm strength. Good accuracy from the pocket on all throws, keeping the ball away from defenders and leading receivers in stride. Very good ability to extend the play and evade the pass rush, using his good athleticism to roll out of the pocket with good accuracy when throwing on the run with the ability to throw the ball off-balanced on his back foot. Very good ball-carrying skills, with very good burst as a runner through the hole, showing very good balance, and good explosiveness and acceleration out of his cuts to make defenders miss. Overall, a good prospect with lots of upside to his game to be developed over the next three seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19190142/Luke-Roberts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Luke5Roberts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Luke5Roberts/status/1803464093246062682","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/Luke5Roberts/status/1803464093246062682 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402281"],"_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-66aec9f4357de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Des is no stranger to us at Prep Redzone, and he has also caught the eye of <a href="https://x.com/mfarrellsports/status/1789692220573946271" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">other recruiting sites</a> as well. The left-handed QB is in for a big season this fall heading into his junior year. He has very good arm strength and will push the ball downfield with good accuracy. He is a very good athlete and showcases his athleticism in his ability to extend the play outside of the pocket with good ability to throw on the run. He possesses breakaway speed if he gets into the open field on a scramble, and he is a threat to take the ball to the house on any play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17014018/Desmond-Jordan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Des1jordan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Des1jordan/status/1801697753128649112","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/Des1jordan/status/1801697753128649112 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853971"],"_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-66aec9f435826"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dual-threat QB with good athletic ability showing very good foot speed, lateral agility, change of direction, and foot quickness. Can play in the pocket with very good pocket mobility to evade the rush and looks to make the pass downfield. Displays good arm strength to throw the deep ball and to fit the ball into tight windows. Good accuracy which puts the receiver in a good position to make the catch, keeping the ball away from defenders. Very good ability to extend the play with his athleticism, and is a major threat as a ball carrier.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18060450/Benjamin-Yeanay-Jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Benjaminyeanay2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Benjaminyeanay2/status/1785467921038561749","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/Benjaminyeanay2/status/1785467921038561749 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["372988"],"_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-66aec9f435869"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The recent Temple commit is one you will want to keep an eye on this fall. He has very good height and frame for a QB. He is an accurate thrower on all levels, with good anticipation, displaying a strong arm to fit the ball in tight windows. Shows good pocket mobility and can extend the play outside the pocket and deliver a good throw downfield. His commitment to Temple is well earned on the field, and he is poised for a big season this fall, and we will see him starting on Saturdays in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17744832/Camren-Boykin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/camrenqb2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/camrenqb2/status/1805262154154516793","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/camrenqb2/status/1805262154154516793 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231457"],"_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-66aec9f4358aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A true pocket passer, Tyler will be leading Patriot's offense once again this fall. He is no stranger to us at Prep Redzone, and was recently featured by our Maryland Scout Todd Haldis from a camp this summer that you can read <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/06/national-preps-maryland-spring-showcase-top-2025-qb-performers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. He has good pocket presence, showing good poise and confidence. He has good processing and anticipation, with very good accuracy. Also has the athleticism to extend plays and run designed QB runs. He has G5 upside, and I expect he will be receiving more offers this fall as more take notice of his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16218161/Tyler-Knutson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/TylerKnutson_8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TylerKnutson_8/status/1805297451361763331","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/TylerKnutson_8/status/1805297451361763331 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1199920"],"_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-66aec9f435943"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jensen is a QB who has been working hard this fall and will be taking the field for the Centurions. He has many desirable traits that you can see in his workouts on his <em>X Account</em>. He has a good frame, a quick release, and has good zip on his throws. He is one to keep an eye on, and I will be providing future updates as film becomes available from his games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/Jensen_strobele" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>X Account</em></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Jensen_strobele/status/1813728809742430522","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/Jensen_strobele/status/1813728809742430522 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Click&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/prospect-index/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;to claim your Prep Redzone Prospect Index profile.<br>Follow me on Twitter&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/GoLions1934" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@GoLions1934</a>&nbsp;for further content |&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneVA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PrepRedzoneVA</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/PrepRedzone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PrepRedzone</a>&nbsp;| Virginia Scout&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/carljfred" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@carljfred</a></em>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<em>View my previous Prep Redzone articles&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/author/cole-laing-author/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
