<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this edition, we cover five quarterbacks who are flying under the radar and primed to have a great final season under those Friday night light's. Who are they? Let's find out!<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1149962"],"_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-6833da689d25f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelling should get to 200 lbs and continue to fill out his frame. He is a quick processor in the pocket and does well at showing good command in the pocket. Kelling has good arm talent; he throws a good deep ball with a lively arm, the ball jumps out of his hand, and he easily makes off-platform throws. He has good accuracy and ball placement and will get to his second read. The gunslinger isn't afraid to take a hit and will bide additional time for his receiver. Kelling does a good job throwing with anticipation and is a signal caller who moves well in the pocket. He makes next-level throws and is an intriguing prospect for the 2026 class that should get some looks in recruiting regionally, as he has the requisite arm talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1562431"],"_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-6833da689d2cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Virostko, will continue to grow into his frame and should get to 180 lbs with relative ease. He is a signal caller who has quick processing skills and showcases a strong arm. Virostko throws a nice deep ball, and shows it off while on the run, and doesn't need to set his feet. He has a good ball placement and will stress a defense as he'll throw it all over the field. Virostko has good mobility and is a good runner who will move the chains and pick up chunk yards. That mobility comes into play when he rolls out and the linebackers have to respect his legs and have to make a decision to either come up and play the run, and he'll throw it over them, or if the backer drops back, he will move the chains. Virostko is set up for a great final season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1562653"],"_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-6833da689d321"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Larsen is a signal caller who is best as a tempo thrower, where he can take his 3-5 step drops and get the ball out on time. He will climb the pocket and will bide additional time and showcasing good mobility within the pocket. As a thrower, he has good ball placement and has a nice touch on his deep passes, and gets good air under the ball so his receiver can run under it. Larsen does throw with anticipation and will throw his receiver open. He isn't categorized as a dual-threat quarterback, but he can move the chains with his legs. </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='1681087' first='Ryder' last='Hales']","_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":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"160","_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":"Salem Hills","_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-6833da689d3e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hales is a quarterback who moves well in the pocket and finds ways to get an open field of view where he can show his arm talent. He throws a good deep ball and has a quick delivery. Hales throws his receivers open and has good ball placement. He throws the ball well while on the run and does a good job of moving the chains and playing well under chaos. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1081278"],"_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-6833da689d440"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wolfinger has great size and overall frame, and he should continue to fill out and get to 200 lbs. He moves well in the pocket and has good footwork. Wolfinger throws a nice deep ball and has good ball placement. He has a quick delivery and the willingness to throw it deep, and is not afraid to stress the defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were five signal callers to know this offseason, they'll be in their final year and look to put up great numbers and help their respective teams to a playoff push. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
