August Recap: Quarterbacks

Let's take a look at some of the signal callers who were impactful for the month of August.    Helaman had a good month of games and has showcased his full skill set over the month. He added good size in the offseason, and he's using his legs more, which is making defenses, especially backers have to decide if they stay in coverage or come up to get him, and Helaman can pick apart defenses because of that. He throws with good precision and has immense arm talent. He keeps the ball out of danger, and he gets to his second and third reads. He's an elite prospect, and with region play coming up, we'll see why he's our number one rated prospect for the 2026 class.     Kaneal has been on a tear this season, and the offseason has proven beneficial. He's seeing and processing better than he ever has, and he is a decisive passer. He will lead his receivers open, layer his throws, and has good velocity on his throws. He fits the ball into tight windows, and he is an excellent runner and will cause chaos on defenses. If they play a soft zone, he'll pick apart a defense with his legs; if they bring a heavy box and have a spy, he'll throw it over them. He's made tremendous strides and will be a Power-Four commit.     Tradon has elite size and frame. He processes quickly and has a quick delivery. He dots the field all over and throws a good deep ball. He will lead a receiver open and can fit the ball into tight windows. He's having an exceptional season, and the game has really slowed down for him. Would not be surprised if he gets late Power-Four offers, even though he is already committed to Boise St. Elite signal caller.     Bosten transferring in and becoming what Westlake has needed for the past couple of years will be one of the most beneficial transfers in recent times. He's waited for his turn and is now showcasing his talents that will result in getting multiple late offers. He has a good processing rate, will manipulate safeties, and has good arm talent. He'll dot the ball all over the field and does a good job of leading his receivers open and keeping the ball out of danger. He'll find his way onto a program and play on Saturdays.     Jack was set up to take over and be an inpactful starter, and he's lived up to the billing. He is a tempo and precision passer who will stress a defense by dotting the ball all over the field. He has a good deep ball, and is a signal caller that showcases good pocket navigation. He's been ultra-efficient this season and done a good job of minimizing mistakes. Now that region play nears, he'll look to lead Viewmont to winning the region and making a deep postseason run.     Reutzel has tremendous arm talent and the ball jumps out of his hand. He throws with good precision and does well with deep passes. He processes quickly and has a compact delivery; he's a true dual threat and is a player who keeps the ball out of danger. His ball placement has been good, and he is best when he can mix in some runs and keep defenses on their heels. He is a good runner and is a threat to gain bunches on the ground. He hasn't been asked to do so, but that doesn't mean he isn't able to. Regional play will be beneficial to him as he'll be in closer games and can utilize his full skill set.     Dahle has done a good job of keeping the offense in rhythm and staying ahead of the chains. He knows when to stress a defense and when to operate within the structure of the offense. He has a good delivery, and he knows where to go with the ball and stays away from questionable throws. He's done a terrific job of using his legs more this year and being a viable runner; he's always had good pocket navigation, but now he's using that and will take off and run for chunk yards. The offense is high-powered, and that is due to Nate having full understanding of not only the system, but the personnel.     Hales has done a great job of elevating his team and the offense as a whole. He processes at a good rate, will get to his second read and does well at placing the ball to only where his receiver can come down with it. Keeping the ball out of danger and keeping the offense ahead of the chains has been his best traits as the leader of the offense. He doesn't lock in to just one receiver and will find the open target and deliver it. He does a good job of stressing the defense by taking deep shots, and with the secondary on their heels, he can then take shorter throws and allow his receivers to create after the catch. He's done a fantastic job this season and operating within structure.     Kelling has done a fantastic job this year. He first caught our eye this offseason during the 7's events, where he was precise with his ball placement and had a calming influence on the offense. He was decisive in his processing and throws with good velocity and will pick apart a defense. That offseason evaluation has carried over to the regular season. He's a talented signal caller and someone who will play at the next level and start on Saturdays. He has everything you want to see from a mental standpoint, he has a great feel and understanding of the game.     Messer won a prolonged camp battle and he's making the most out of his final year. He does a good job of getting the ball out and leading his receiver. His ball placement has been good, and he has done a good job of keeping the ball away from the defenders. He bides additional time in the pocket and will take off and run. His ability as a risher has created more passing lanes, as backers will creep up to prevent him from taking off and he will throw it over them. He showcases good elusivness as a runner, and he's added a dimension that's been lacking in the Herriman offense for the past couple of years.     Kepa made his seasonal debut against Timpview, and he came out on fire, accounting for four total touchdowns. He's made great strides this offseason and is a complete passer. His processing rate has quickened, and he does a good job of delivering the ball on time and allowing his receivers to create after the catch. He has good velocity on the ball and as region play kicks off shortly, it'll be fun to see what he does the rest of the season.    Those were some Quarterbacks that caught the eye for the month.
