He demonstrates touch and placement, consistently putting the ball where only his receiver can make a play. Woods is comfortable attacking tight windows and shows confidence operating from the pocket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On the ground, he's equally dangerous. Woods is a true dual-threat quarterback who can make the first defender miss and has the acceleration to turn broken plays into explosive gains. At 6'1", 195 pounds, he already has a college-ready frame with room for continued physical development. His upside was recognized this offseason with an invitation to the Elite 11 regionals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Woods currently holds six Division I offers, including Liberty University, West Virginia University, and University of South Florida. With continued development and exposure, he projects as one of the more intriguing quarterback prospects in the region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/nyedasniper/status/1991204938450387142","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/nyedasniper/status/1991204938450387142 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378200"],"_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-6998d925e20ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='378200' first='Trysten' last='Johnson'] is a quick-release passer who shows accuracy both from the pocket and on the move. He delivers the ball with timing and confidence, allowing receivers to operate in stride. When he escapes the pocket, he becomes a true dual-threat weapon, flashing breakaway speed that can quickly turn into explosive plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson's production backs up the film. This season, he threw for over 2,000 yards and 34 touchdowns while adding more than 1,000 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground. His ability to stress defenses with both his arm and legs makes him one of the more dynamic quarterback prospects in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/trysten20603132/status/1991656847447584944","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/trysten20603132/status/1991656847447584944 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["457951"],"_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-6998d925e2148"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='457951' first='Tristan' last='Sabb'] is no stranger to the bright lights, and he embraced them after transferring to DeMatha Catholic. Sabb stepped in and led the Stags to a WCAC championship, elevating his profile on one of the biggest stages in high school football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A versatile quarterback, Sabb is dangerous in the option game and a legitimate scoring threat with the ball in his hands. He combines that dual-threat ability with strong passing skills, showing the confidence to throw into holes in zone coverage and consistently win on timing routes. His poise, athleticism, and ability to operate within structure while also creating outside of it make him a dynamic presence under center. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TristanSabb/status/1977405625006170494","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/TristanSabb/status/1977405625006170494 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1570610"],"_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-6998d925e21a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1570610' first='Brett' last='Paukstis'] led St. Albans School to an IAC championship after throwing for over 2,000 yards and 29 touchdowns. Paukstis is a playmaker who consistently keeps plays alive, extending downs and creating opportunities when protection breaks down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He excels outside the pocket, using his mobility to create space before delivering accurate throws downfield. Paukstis shows the ability to throw receivers open after scrambling and possesses the arm strength to make difficult throws on the run. His combination of production, creativity, and off-platform ability makes him a quarterback capable of elevating an offense in high-leverage moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BrettyP_123/status/1996380923726889112","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/BrettyP_123/status/1996380923726889112 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["945471"],"_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-6998d925e2205"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='945471' first='Jason' last='Lindsay'] already possesses a college-ready build at 6'1", 205 pounds.
