He has the potential to be a high-impact quarterback at the next level and<br>has ideal size/growth potential for the position with sneaky athleticism outside the pocket and when buying time. Barker is a true pocket passer with plus movement/running abilities and has a quick and snappy release while putting good spin on the ball and shows he can fit it into tight windows while throwing with good velocity and touch over the top, often throwing his receivers open. He also shows he can throw on schedule balls into tight coverage, scans the field quickly and moves defenders with his eyes before coming back to his primary read. In his Senior season he threw for 2,500 yards and 26 touchdowns, leading his team to a Southern California regional bowl game win and finished the season with a state title appearance and 11-4 overall record. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1215499"],"_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-6764be96e5db0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Powell checks into our watch list rankings in the most recent update, and put together a solid Junior and Senior seasons for Cajon. The dual-threat passer has a live arm downfield, quick release and can spread the ball around while moving quickly through his progressions. Powell is also a very dangerous runner with an elite initial burst, downfield long speed in the clear and shows strong pocket presence when stepping up or rolling out and taking off against pass rushers. The three-star prospect currently holds one offer from Montana and is one of the top available signal callers across Southern California. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1431788"],"_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-6764be96e5f3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/jonah-kroenung/">Kroenung</a> is an elite athlete at the quarterback position and put together a stellar career for Mitty over the past several seasons and was a no brainer to enter into our WL rankings in this post season update. The First-Team all WCAL selection threw for 1,400 yards and 18 touchdowns while tacking on another 400+ yards rushing and 5 touchdowns this Fall. On tape, he shows great pocket mobility while keeping his eyes downfield and has a quick release while able to get the ball out fast under pressure and evade the rush/buy time with his legs. Once he tucks it and runs, he has a good initial burst, shows long speed and can make defenders miss in the hole with cutback abilities in the open field. Due to his frame, size and athleticism he can play multiple positions at the college level and currently holds offers from Puget Sound and Culver-Stockton. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1484713"],"_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-6764be96e5e71"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/austin-abrahams/">Abrahams</a> did a very nice job in his senior season spreading the ball around to various weapons and navigating the pocket and checks into our WL rankings in the most recent update. He has a strong arm and ball placement downfield, shows he can throw on the run and also does a good job at buying time with his legs while keeping his eyes downfield. He threw for 1,700 yards and 16 touchdowns while adding another 375 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns. He has dual-threat capabilities and has good throwing mechanics with plenty of room for growth potential at the next level and is a no brainer next level guy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1547427"],"_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-6764be96e5e29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gomez is another prospect that enters into our WL rankings after having a great senior season for North Monterey County in the CCS. He threw for 1,900 yards and 21 touchdowns, while tacking on another 2 rushing touchdowns. Gomez is a quick processor in the pocket, shows he can deliver on time throws downfield while also able to evade pressure and throw accurately on the run and is seemingly comfortable throwing both out-breaking and in-breaking routes with good spin and ball placement to throw his receivers open. He is a D3 college prospect that can make a impact at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
