He definitely looks the part when you look at him both physically and with the skills he displays. He a talented athlete who put up impressive numbers showing good speed, strength and power. He has a strong arm, good technique and delivery with a quick release and uses very good technique with his feet and hip movement to be able to make all the throws.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='213079' first='Brennan' last='Czeschin'], St. Dominic 6'2" 187<br>-5.0 forty - 4.6 pro agility - 9' broad jump - 27" vertical jump<br>Brennan is another D1 QB with also hold an offer from Miami University and is getting attention from numerous others. He is also a very skilled quarterback prospect with impressive skills and technique similar to Ottensmeyer. Czeschin has very good vision and sees the field well going threw progressions to find the open receiver. He makes very good throws and placement to give his receivers the best opportunity to catch the ball against defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1130311' first='Sam' last='Deen'], Vianney 6'1" 165<br>- 4.74 forty - 4.37 pro agility - 9'8" broad jump - 32" vertical jump<br>One of the most athletic quarterback prospects in his class in the state of Missouri. Deen had a terrific day of testing showing his speed and explosiveness in the events. He also had an impressive showing in 1v1s with a great understanding of his skill set and ability to put the ball on the money consistently to his receivers. Sam has a quick release and was one of the more technically sound quarterbacks among an impressive group. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1250624' first='Patrick' last='Hutchcraft'], Eureka 6'3" 175<br>-4.72 forty - 4.35 pro agility - 9'4" - 28" vertical jump<br>I have been impressed with the potential that Hutchcraft has shown the past couple of years when I have seen him at camp and when he trains. He has good height, is fast, athletic and plays quick showing a strong arm, good accuracy and good technique. He has waited his turn and should be able to show what he can do as the front runner to start heading into his senior season. He should draw the attention of colleges with a good senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1250601' first='Hudson' last='Cerrano'], Timberland 6'2" 190<br>- 4.66 forty - 4.13 pro agility - 9'4" broad jump - 34" vertical jump<br>One of the most impressive athletes overall at the combine and second most athletic QB behind Marriott was the senior-to-be Ceranno. Hudson has caught my attention playing with Boom football in 7v7 in years past, and should have seen significant action as a junior last season given his talents but it didn't happen after it was thought he was transferring to another school. He'll get his opportunity this year with a new head coach. He has the arm, skills and athleticism to be a difference maker and have a breakout season to garner college attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1250604' first='Ivan' last='Dean'], Holt 6'1" 194<br>- 4.83 forty - 4.1 pro agility - 9' broad jump - 32" vertical jump<br>Dean has really worked hard to improve both his quarterback skills and his athleticism in the off season after having a successful junior year and throwing for over 1,200 yards. The true dual threat showed his speed, quick feet and power in testing, and spun the ball very well in drills and 1v1s hooking up with his receivers with ease putting the ball on the money and showing good velocity and a strong arm in the process. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1647103' first='Zane' last='Thomas']</strong>, Park Hill <br>- 5.11 forty - 4.5 pro agility - 8'6" broad jump - 27" vertical jump<br>This 3,000 yard passer from Kansas City who also threw for 38 touchdowns and completed 67% of his passes as a junior showed up and did not disappoint. It was easy to see how he accomplished such numbers with his talents he showed throwing the ball in 1v1s. Zane has good footwork, technique and gets rid of the ball in a hurry one a rope or with good air and trajectory on it making catchable balls on every throw for his receivers. He is also a solid athlete and showed he is a college prospect schools need to recruit. He will get the job done given the opportunity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Phoenix Isaiah</strong>, Lift For Life 6'0" 180<br>- 4.89 forty - 4.25 pro agility - 9'3" broad jump - 32" vertical jump<br>This athletic dual threat split time with two other quarterbacks last season and still passed for over 900 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has good speed, power, strength and quickness as an athlete and could play multiple positions if not QB on the next level. He had a big day playing with such an impressive group of future college signal-callers and holding his own with them. Look for a big season in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
