Demonstrates good decision-making ability. Archer anticipates his throws to allow his receivers for potential yards after catch opportunities off their breaks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 Stats: 103/130 (79%), 1,391 yards (10.7 YPA), 19 TDs and 1 INT through 5 games. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Offer List: Arkansas, Arkansas State, Arizona, FAU, Florida State, Hawaii, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico State, Ole Miss, SMU, Tennessee, Texas A&amp;M, Toledo, UCF, UNLV &amp; UL Monroe.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.7 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/KaneArcher9/status/1842701406043824591">https://x.com/KaneArcher9/status/1842701406043824591</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rushing Yards:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1194187"],"_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-6705568533d8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1194187' first='Grady' last='Ohman'] leads the state with 901 rushing yards, with a 100-yard performance in each game and two 200-yard performances.
