Under pressure, he shows advanced pocket awareness, slipping free with quick bursts of speed before resetting his feet and keeping his eyes downfield. On the perimeter, Spencer is a true dual-threat, capable of gashing defenses with his legs or delivering accurate strikes on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">From the pocket, he flashes a quick, compact release, getting the ball out before the rush can collapse around him. That combination of mobility, decision-making, and arm talent has already earned Spencer his first Division I offer from home-state Morgan State University, setting the stage for a recruiting rise in the years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/qb1los/status/1918627931263238285","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/qb1los/status/1918627931263238285 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644160"],"_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-689bb0668d9ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1644160' first='Malcom' last='Smith']: Dynamic Two-Way Playmaker with Elite Arm Talent</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1644160' first='Malcom' last='Smith'] was a stat-sheet sensation in 2024, accounting for 24 touchdowns at quarterback while snaring 10 interceptions on defense. Under center, possesses a live arm capable of dropping deep throws perfectly into his receivers' stride, consistently showcasing touch and precision on vertical routes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On film, Smith's poise stands out, rather than immediately tucking the ball to run, he steps up in the pocket, scanning the field and delivering strikes despite having breakaway speed in his back pocket. That ability to blend patience, arm talent, and athleticism makes him one of the more intriguing dual-threat prospects in his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/bamn_m1","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/bamn_m1 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1239127"],"_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-689bb0668da36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1239127' first='Jameson' last='Bryant']: Young Gun with Big-Play Vision</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1239127' first='Jameson' last='Bryant'] wasted no time making his presence felt as a freshman, throwing for an impressive 1,435 yards in his debut season. With a natural knack for finding his receivers downfield, Bryant makes 30-yard completions look routine, showcasing both touch and confidence on deep throws.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing with a solid frame and playing with the poise of a veteran, Bryant exudes confidence in the pocket, delivering strikes under pressure and keeping defenses honest. With two more full years to develop, the young signal-caller is poised to become a fixture on recruiting boards, and his trajectory suggests his name will be one to watch in the coming seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jamesonb2028/status/1771002935842865338","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jamesonb2028/status/1771002935842865338 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644784"],"_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-689bb0668daaf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Samuel Makins: Long-Frame Passer with Vertical Precision</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6'3" and 185 pounds, Samuel Makins already possesses the long, athletic frame coveted by college programs. On film, he makes attacking vertical routes look effortless, consistently delivering strikes up the hashes and dropping deep balls into windows.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Makins also shows a natural ability to extend plays, keeping his eyes downfield while evading pressure and making pinpoint throws on the move. His blend of size, arm talent, and poise outside the pocket gives him the tools to be a dangerous dual-threat passer in the passing game, and with continued development, his stock could rise quickly among recruiters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/heyyy_15k/status/1912947393235976596","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/heyyy_15k/status/1912947393235976596 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["991657"],"_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-689bb0668db1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='991657' first='Carter' last='Dailey']: Precision Passer with Big-Game Arm Talent</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='991657' first='Carter' last='Dailey'] boasts a rifle for an arm, pairing a lightning-quick release with pinpoint precision at every level of the field. Whether attacking tight windows on intermediate routes or dropping deep balls in stride, Dailey maintains impressive accuracy—even under heavy pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I had the opportunity to evaluate Dailey firsthand at the Prep Redzone 7-on-7 tournament in the DMV, where he drew the attention of scouts with his elite arm talent and command of the offense. Now set to lead St. Francis on a national stage, the rising quarterback will have the chance to showcase his skills against some of the toughest competition in the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CarterDailey10/status/1850701706646130907","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CarterDailey10/status/1850701706646130907 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
