CFI Carolinas MEGA Showcase Top Quarterbacks

The Charlotte Football Insiders (CFI) Carolinas MEGA Showcase brought over 270 athletes from all over the Carolinas and put them in front of over 25 colleges in order to be recruited and possibly offered college scholarships. CFI in the last 5 years has had over 100 players gain offers through exposure from their showcases and events. This analysis will focus on the top quarterbacks selected by the CFI Coaching Staff as Top Performers from the event. For this position, the quarterback coaches selected five upperclassmen and five lowerclassmen as top selections.    Landon really impressed me in a good crop of quarterbacks at this showcase. He has worked a lot on his mechanics, and his delivery is a lot smoother than when I saw him live last season in gameplay. The other area where Landon improved is his anticipation and ball placement. I felt like last season he was waiting for receivers to be open before delivering the football. During 1-on-1s he was able to throw receivers open more consistently.     I think Chance probably had the strongest arm out of this group of quarterbacks that I saw during the showcase. You can see Chance is performing with a lot of confidence; he has done well at previous showcases this offseason as well. I think college coaches are waiting to see some early-season game film on Chance, because the one thing he has to improve on is his decision-making during games. Otherwise, Chance has everything you want in a potential college quarterback. He just has to remain patient and get off to a good start this season, and I think offers will start coming his way.     David is listed as 6'4, but seeing him up close, he looks every bit of at least 6'6. This is an impressive young 2028 prospect physically. David is smooth in his delivery of the football, and I'm excited to see him hopefully get a chance to throw it around some this upcoming season. When you have a young guy like this, you want to get him that exposure and see how he can handle the heat on Friday Nights as a sophomore. His head coach has coached Sam Howell when he was in high school, so I'm sure they have a good plan for him to develop the right way.     Chase was one of the younger quarterbacks highlighted as a top performer selection, and among all of the young quarterbacks, I really liked his fundamentals. Chase took coaching well, and he was consistently accurate on his throws during the 1 on 1 portion of the showcase, where young quarterbacks threw to running backs versus linebackers. There were three quarterbacks highlighted from the Trojans, so Head Coach Eric Morman is obviously doing something very right up in Concord!     As expected, Jamouri came into this showcase exuding confidence, and that reflected in his performance on the field. Jamouri is light years ahead of where I saw him from early in the season last year, and that bodes well for the Lions competing in 8A this upcoming season. Fundamentally, everything is smooth and compact as fast as his delivery goes. Jamouri's footwork was very consistent, and he did well with working with some receivers he hadn't thrown to before on a variety of routes.     Aiden was impressive as a young quarterback, and he has a chance to step into some playing time at Country Day this upcoming season. It was obvious to me that Aiden has been doing some dedicated training, as his fundamentals were ahead of most of the quarterbacks in attendance, and probably the best out of the young quarterbacks overall. For his frame, I also thought Aiden had a stronger arm than I expected, so I am excited to see how he continues to grow as we go through the upcoming season.     High upside, that's the first thing I think about when I see Hudson. Coming into his junior year, it is a big year for him to take a step, and I think he showed some improvement at this showcase from when I saw him live last season. Hudson was more decisive, and his throws/drops were married together much better fundamentally. Hudson showed a big arm on some deep balls, but was able to put some nice touch on the ball to lead receivers to successful catches. I'm hoping Hudson has a big year in the Trojans' offense, which should garner him some recruiting attention.     Brody was one player I didn't have a ton of information on coming from South Carolina, but he has definitely put a lot of work in with offseason 7 on 7's, and for him, I thought he stood out in 1 on 1's more than anywhere else. Some quarterbacks struggled with when to release the ball on specific routes, but Brody's anticipation was impressive for a young player. As Brody grows, he will be able to drive the ball on some of those throws, such as a comeback sideline route, but he has the mental part of the game going in the right direction.     Keenan had a very strong performance, and every time I see him, he does something that just impresses me at a high level. For this showcase, it was obvious he has worked out in the weight room because the ball was coming out much stronger on his throws overall compared to when I saw him live in the preseason last year. Keenan is able to fit the ball on some in-breaking routes now with nice pace and accuracy. I am not sure how the depth chart looks at Porter Ridge for the upcoming season, but I would feel good with this young man leading my team based on what I saw.     Dom was the youngest quarterback selected as a Top Performer as a 2029 prospect, and when you see players this young, you just want to see how well they take to coaching and attempt to execute concepts and fundamentals at a high level. Dom has definitely had some good coaching so far as a player, and he didn't look out of place with prospects older than him by 2-3 years on the field. As he continues to grow, I think Dom has a bright future as a quarterback at the high school level.
