Elite Middle School Combine: Top 2029 QBs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1674661' first='Braden' last='Biermann'], Parkway West</strong> - 5'9" 145</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>The top young quarterback at the combine both athletically in the testing and with his throws in drills and one on ones on the day. Braden is an advanced thrower for his age as being advanced technique wise and with his overall skill set. He has good footwork and hip motion on his throws, and great velocity and a quick release. The ball jumps off his had and he really spins it well both on his deep throws getting air and with his ball placement. He shows he to make all the throws already and adjusts his passes accordingly for each situation. He has good speed and power already in his testing running a 4.98 laser forty time, had and 8'8" broad jump, 25" vertical jump and 4.65 pro agility. All top scores among quarterbacks.<br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1743336' first='Jessy' last='Schilly'], Ste. Genevieve</strong> - 5'10" 142</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Another very skilled young quarterback for his age. Schilly has good form and technique along with a quick release and has good placement on his throws. He displayed a strong arm with good accuracy on his deep passes, and nice touch on his short and intermediate tosses leading his receiver and making it easier for them to make the grab. Jessy is also a good athlete who tested in the top range of all quarterbacks at the combine with personal bests in the broad jump with a 7'11" in that event and a 24" vertical jump. He already has good height and looks like he will have a nice high school career with a chance to play sooner rather than later. <br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1741258' first='Thomas' last='Brown'], Ft. Zumwalt West</strong> - 6'2" 175</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Great size and strength with this 8th grade signal-caller. Brown looked like a high school player when he came on the field at six-foot-two already with solid physical development and a good frame. He looked to have the strongest arm at this stage among the 2028 quarterbacks getting big distance and nice air and arc on his throws along with great velocity. A few of his passes were hard to handle for some of the receivers and you could really hear the ball pop. Thomas also looked good with his footwork and movement. He works quickly and gets rid of the ball fast. Also a good athlete showing good power with a 7'10" broad jump and had a solid forty time for his age group. Definitely a player to watch for in the next couple of years.<br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Andrew Tate, Lutheran North</strong> - 6'0" 164</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>The class of 2029 is deep and talented at the quarterback position in the state of Missouri. I was impressed with the number of young players who look like they will develop into prospects in high school. Tate was another at the combine who worked out at QB and looked the part, although he also has the ability to play WR or switch to another positon. He has a strong arm and good delivery being able to put the ball on the money even if it isn't perfect technically. Andrew tested well with best of 7'10" in the broad jump and 24" in the vertical jump.<br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Caleb Deschamp, Marquette </strong>- 5'8" 132</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Deschamp was caught my attention with his atheltic ability and how he did during testing with his forty, vertical jump (25") and broad jump (7'11") and continued to hold it in drills and one on ones as with how he threw the ball. While he isn't as big as a few of the other quarterbacks mentioned, he looks to have good growth potential and the arm strength was there on his throws. He had good accuracy and looked good with his mechanics during the event. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
