This year he finally takes the reigns of the offense after splitting reps each of the past two seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's brilliant in his decision making and goes through his progressions quickly. Fahey is accurate to all three levels of the field and is a dangerous scrambler who can buy time with his legs. He really impressed me with his accuracy and his leadership at the Battle at the Beach tournament earlier this month. It's easy to see why Ohio State pulled the trigger and offered him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">BREAKING: Four-Star QB [player_tooltip player_id='1000890' first='Luke' last='Fahey'] has Committed to Ohio State, he tells me for <a href="https://twitter.com/Rivals?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@rivals</a><br><br>The 6'1 200 QB from Mission Viejo, CA chose the Buckeyes over Indiana &amp; Stanford<br><br>“All Glory to God Happy birthday momma Go Bucks!!”<a href="https://t.co/AwfFmRRXHb">https://t.co/AwfFmRRXHb</a> <a href="https://t.co/p6hJuWf8lN">pic.twitter.com/p6hJuWf8lN</a></p>&mdash; Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) <a href="https://twitter.com/Hayesfawcett3/status/1940848008696156653?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 3, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1284693"],"_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-6889b6003ffcf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hopkins threw for 1111 yards with 13 touchdowns and ran for eight touchdowns for JSerra last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's the fastest quarterback in the county and ran the best 40 time at the Elite 11 Regional and the Under Armour Next camp with a 4.56. Hopkins has nice touch on the deeper throws and has improved his accuracy quite a bit. We saw a very good quarterback become an elite quarterback after arriving at Mater Dei last season and Hopkins may follow that same recipe this season. He is committed to Wisconsin. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Home!
