Isabell has a good burst when taking off to run and can get vertical quickly when he finds a running lane.

You can tell he's a good athlete from how he moves in the pocket and effortlessly steps into his throws.

He's a lanky athlete with quality length who will benefit from added size in the future.

He transferred from Princeton back to his home school and should be a future starter for the Mavericks. McCroskey has ATH potential and played other positions for the Tigers this season as well that will give him options in the future positionally.
