<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">With around 22 quarterbacks in attendance, it was a huge quarterback group. That being said it wasn't just big in quantity, we had a ton of talent show up and show out. Even the younger players were slinging it all over the field. It was fun to see all the players out there competing and putting in the work. So let's take a look at the group of players who were chosen by the coaches as the top performers of the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611241"],"_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-695a87b45247f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size">Hartings was not on my radar before this showcase. He definitely is now. He's got the prototypical size you want to see for a QB at the next level. He generates a lot of velocity on his throws. The ball explodes out of his hand. He also shows the ability to throw from different arm angles. In 1v1's he showed good accuracy and touch. I think he could storm onto the recruiting radar this camp season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1185155"],"_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-695a87b452545"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size">McLaughlin had a strong day. He has the perfect frame to continue to grow and fill out. Hunter has a lot of whip in his arm and generates great velocity. I love how the ball comes off his hand. He generates great spin. His ball placement on the day was strong. He's as hard of working and competitive kid as you're going to find. He'll have a big opportunity to make a big impression on D1 coaches this summer and I think he will.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1594132"],"_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-695ab1da72387"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size">Heckman is one of the top Quarterbacks in the 2027 class. Measuring 6'1 220 he possesses a frame that's ready to handle the rigors of playing quarterback at the college level. I wouldn't necessarily call him a dual threat, but he's a guy who can hurt defenses with his feet or his arm. Justin has a compact throwing motion and is able to get the ball out quickly. The physical traits are there. I'm excited to see what this summer and senior season have to bring for Heckman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1986812"],"_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-695abec979370"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Severns is a talented 2029 from River Valley high school. He has good size for a freshman. I really like his compact throwing motion. He has nice velocity and puts good spin on the ball. I thought he operated with a ton of confidence and as a top performer clearly had a great day. Being a freshman, he has a lot of time to continue to develop physically and hone his craft. I'm really excited to see what the future holds for Owen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1423763"],"_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-695abec979416"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size">Watching Tsudis throw I saw a young quarterback with really clean mechanics. He has a short and compact throwing motion that gets the ball out in a hurry. In 1v1's I thought he did a good job with his throwing accuracy and putting the ball in spots where his receivers could make plays. I'm looking forward to see what the future holds for Thomas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
