He should only get stronger in his frame. Filitaula has good arm talent, makes off-platform throws with ease, and does a good job throwing on the run and not needing to set his feet to deliver a deep ball. He shows good accuracy, the ability to lead his receivers open, and the ability to layer throws with ease. Filitaula gets to his second reads and will look off his primary target to manipulate the deep safety. He has good pocket mobility, navigates within the pocket well and never looks panicked. Filitaula will climb the pocket and is a gritty player who finds ways to make plays. He shows good mobility and a good runner who will move the chains and can pick up chunk yards if the defense doesn't account for him as a potential runner. Filitaula is best as a tempo and rhythmic passer, he comes in from Seattle and will be attending Lehi for his final season. He's a player that should get regionally recruited with the upside of Power-Four looks.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["872769"],"_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-67ff084f00fc5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ferran will grow into his frame and should only become a more well-rounded player once he does. He has good throwing mechanics and is rhythmic and smooth. Ferran throws a good deep ball and will lead his receivers open. He has good accuracy and throws with a nice touch. Ferran is best when he can drop back, pat the ball, and get it out on time. He gets to his second read and is a decisive pocket passer. Ferran is an exciting quarterback for the 2027 class and has a good upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1128696"],"_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-67ff084f0100c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hawkins is an exceptional athlete and a talented playmaker. He has exceptional speed with a reported 4.5 in the 40 and has been utilized as an RPO signal caller. Hawkins is a deadly runner with good vision and elusiveness. He shows good lateral quickness and makes defenders miss in the open field. As a passer, he has good throwing mechanics and processes quickly and gets the ball out quickly to his top read and throws accurately and throws with good ball placement. Hawkins is a two way player and does play deep safety and his speed is further evident as he covers a lot of ground in minimal strides. As part of the 2028 class, his ceiling is tremendous and an exceptional athlete in the state and those raw traits makes him an exciting prospect for potential recruiting circuits. <br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1681359' first='Bosten' last='Fountaine']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"185","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Skyridge","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ff084f010c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fountaine is a good athlete and when on the field has shown good mechanics and processing skills. Good arm and throws a nice deep ball, he also showcases good accuracy. He is part of the 2026 class and has another quarterback in front of him at Skyridge. The skill set and traits are there and he likely becomes a candidate at the JUCO route where he can get snaps and gain additional experience and then transfer up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1596878"],"_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-67ff084f01113"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dahl is a quick processor who showcases a quick delivery and willing to stare down a barrel and wait for his receiver to get open. He is willing to take hits for the betterment of his receiver and is a tough signal caller. Dahl throws well on the run and puts good air on a deep ball. It's likely Dahl will have to wait another year </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
