Promising Productive Passers Looking for More in 2025

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school football season is coming soon, and several big-time and productive playmakers in 2024 are looking to make even bigger impacts in 2025. In taking a look at some of last season's stat leaders, we'd like to examine four players who were among the state leaders statistically in 2024, starting with the quarterbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["546688"],"_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-68790e8828294"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stephens is a very good young quarterback. As a rising junior, he has a chance to seriously land on recruiting radars. He throws with excellent accuracy, timing and touch on the deep ball, and is mobile enough to elude rushers and buy time. He has had a strong summer camp showing, too, and I'd expect his college interest to grow. Last year, he backed up a strong freshman season with 2,812 yards passing and 29 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["560094"],"_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-68790e882832d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='560094' first='Devin' last='Craig'] is exceptional at throwing on the move. With his mobility, poise under duress, feel for pressure and arm, he is great at throwing outside the pocket and very mobile to elude rushers and buy time with his feet. He has a quick trigger and keeps his feet in position to throw. In 2024, he compiled 3,231 yards passing - leading all underclassmen - and added 30 passing touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1355538"],"_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-68790e88283ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1355538' first='Cooper' last='Dold'] is one of the more well-rounded quarterbacks on this list.

He has good height at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds.
