Touch on deep ball is excellent. So mechanically sound with everything that he does. Sees the field and has sound mechanics along with footwork. Throws well over the middle and is very accurate with his ball placement.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1335265"],"_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-682620b6afaf4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nawrot lit it up at the JV level last season throwing for 17 touchdowns along with 173 yards per game.  He has prototype size and strength at 6'4" 190 pounds.  Like his pocket presence hanging in to make throws vs pressure.  Does have mobility to extend plays when needed with his legs and can run with power. Really like his deep ball.  Leans back a bit on those throws.  Good when making quick decisions. Can go off the first read to make the correct throw.  Lot of physical upside here!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1570764"],"_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-682620b6afb50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Intrigued with what Ryder brings to the table.  Great size for this New Trier QB at 6'5" 205 pounds.
