<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rankings have dropped! It's time to start evaluating some of the names that are starting to climb our boards and putting their names on radars.

It's very obvious right away that he can spread the ball all over the field. He has the pocket presence you love to see out of a high school QB, as he can stand in and deliver throws from the pocket, even under pressure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Duke keeps his eyes downfield and is able to manipulate the pocket to give himself some extra time. Playing at a school like Catholic Central, I have no doubt he will continue to get developed into a solid varsity QB with the chance at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1589490"],"_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-67b4a91388cdd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anderson is an early contender for guys who could outplay his ranking before it's all over with. Anderson is a talented QB with good size and the strength to push the ball downfield. I got the chance to see him work in person recently and I was thoroughly impressed by his arm strength and his great platform.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> His highlights also displayed the ability to get out and pick up some first downs when necessary, just enough for defenses to have to be mindful of his legs. Anderson has an incredibly high ceiling and with his work ethic, I expect him to absolutely reach that ceiling. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1317918"],"_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-67b4a91388d27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alex put himself on the map early last season when he went toe to toe with Belleville in week 1 and darn near pulled it off. Since then, Alex has continued to improve and impress. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To start, Alex has the great ability to be decisive and get the ball out quickly. His mechanics help that as well, as he has a very quick trigger. I get the feeling next season that his legs will also be a major factor. His highlights have a few examples of him pulling the ball and getting out in the open field and making guys miss for first downs. I think with some more work on mechanics and arm strength, Alex is going to end up being a solid prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262603"],"_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-67b4a91388d6a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wynn has some great highlights from 2024. I've stated before just how live his arm is and his highlights from this past season confirmed that for me. He has no issue pushing the ball downfield, making quick throws with zip and squeezing the ball in tighter windows. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One thing I hadn't noted on yet but took note of this time was his pocket presence and how in control he seems to be at all times. He stays on platform and doesn't lose his mechanics or rush it at all. I am dying to see Wynn in person and I'm hoping to get that opportunity sooner rather than later! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1157448"],"_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-67b4a91388dad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James put out a really nice 2024 highlight tape. It looks like he is really well rounded and has a ton of intangible traits that put him at a really nice advantage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I really like his ball placement. It seems that he has the understanding and ability to adjust where to put the ball depending on situations. His arm strength is good, and can pair it with really good athleticism to make the defense really guess on how to attack. James has a ton to like already and will undoubtedly continue to build on his pure talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
