Stock Up Showcase 2024: Next Generation of Quarterbacks Part 2

The Quarterbacks really showed out for this Stock Up Showcase. There was a grand total of 12 QBs who attended, and each of them have attributes needed to excel. I already dove into the first half, and in this article I will be diving into the 2nd batch of quarterbacks. Let's dive into the analysis of the prospects!    Andrews is fresh off a big season for Ralston Valley. He stands tall at 6'6 205 pounds. I was very impressed with Andrews' release. He has an elite release, with a snappy flick of the wrist motion. Mixed with his very good throw power, and he's a formidable opponent. Over the course of the drills, his very good footwork helped him succeed. He looked very comfortable and poised during the 1 on 1s. Andrews has very good accuracy at all 3 levels, however his deep accuracy stands out the most to me. He can fit the ball in a tight window, where only his WR can make the catch. Great job from the young QB who I believe will continue to be one of the top signal callers in Colorado.     Lee had a good performance at the Stock Up Showcase. The freshman QB from Arapahoe was slinging it all day. Lee has the prototypical QB body type standing at 6'4 230 pounds. He can take the big hits. Throughout the camp; Lee's leadership skills were on full display. He was in constant communication with his receivers during the 1 on 1 drills. Lee has very good throw power, using his big arm to meet receivers downfield. He has very good accuracy and ball placement skills. On some out routes, he threw it just outside the receiver, so only they could catch it. Impressive performance from the Arapahoe QB.     Walden really caught my eye throughout the day. Measuring in at 6'3 210 pounds, the Pine Creek QB showed off his very good accuracy throughout the event. During the drills, he was slinging it. Normally, a gunslinger throws some interceptions, however Walden was precise and decisive. Good ball placement skills. He'd lead his wide receivers in stride so they didn't lose speed. He'd throw it right above the receiver, giving them an opportunity to go up for the contested catch. Another stellar QB performance from the Pine Creek standout.     Warren showcased his dual threat abilities at the combine. He has good athletic ability due to good speed, acceleration, and change of direction. During the teaching drills, he showed his very good hip fluidity in combination with very good footwork. This translated over to the drills with wide receivers and defensive backs. He stayed poised throughout, and didn't have any back foot throws. He stepped up into his throws, making very accurate passes to his target downfield. He went through his progressions and found the open man. Great job from the young QB.     Craig is a lengthy QB. During the drills, he showed his long strides mixed with good acceleration needed to run out of the pocket under duress. He has good throw power, and making accurate throws during the drills. One thing to note about Craig is he is very coachable. During the teaching moments, he was very attentive and implemented it into his game. He has a good snappy release, launching the ball downfield to his man. He showcased good mental processing by going through his reads and finding the open man. Stellar performance.     He was one of 2 Fort Collins quarterbacks to attend the combine, and he didn't disappoint. The 6'0 155-pound quarterback was slinging it all throughout the drills. He has very good throw power, and can make all the throws needed. He has very good body movement/fluidity. His hips and arms move as one, making seamless throws. Cranford has a very good over the top release. I was impressed with his competitive toughness. If he missed a throw, he came back the next and succeed. He never gave up, and that's a shining attribute to have. Good ball placement skills, throwing it on the money to his receivers. Fort Collins is in good hands for the foreseeable future between Cranford and [player_tooltip player_id='1581244' first='Jace' last='Garcia'] waiting in the wings.     Trotter Jr had a nice camp. The 6'2 190-pound QB out of Windsor was making very accurate passes all throughout camp. His short and medium accuracy really stand out to me. It was automatic for him to make those throws. Very good ball placement skills, throwing it right above his receiver allowing them to make a play on a contested catch. Trotter Jr has good throw power, and was meeting receivers downfield all day long. Good footwork, and kept his eyes downfield to find the open man. I was impressed with how Trotter Jr. composed himself throughout the event and I'm excited to see how he performs next season.
