<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a big year for a handful of Chicagoland signal callers that have an opportunity for breakout seasons this Fall. These particular prospects are showing well early this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992492"],"_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-699624111dc08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Promising sophomore quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='992492' first='Dominic' last='Vita'] is now at 191, standing at 6020. Vita has one of the stronger arms observed early on this combine season. His defining characteristic is his ability to rip the ball all over the field with impressive velocity, standing tall in the pocket and delivering the football. At his age, the combination of developing size, athleticism and arm strength makes him one to pay attention to as he heads into his junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["971614"],"_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-699624111dcb5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The tallest and longest quarterback seen on the hoof so far is [player_tooltip player_id='971614' first='Malik' last='Carter'] at what looks like a fairly accurate 6060 190. Carter's defining arm traits are his raw strength pushing the ball up the field and his ability to execute the deep throw. He is capable of launching a beautiful ball and dropping it straight in the bucket. He showed the ability to put in on a line and into competitive windows. His frame is quite lean and capable of adding plenty of size. Carter has excellent developmental upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1570764"],"_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-699624111dd44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1570764' first='Jackie' last='Ryder'] on the hoof has noticeably good size at 6044 214 with a strong and broad frame. Ryder has an absolute rocket launcher attached to his right shoulder. His overall mechanics are loose, his rotation is short, his release is quick and he delivers the ball with violence. Ryder has plenty of natural arm talent as he's able to throw receivers open, deliver off balance, improvise with arm angles, and mix velocity with touch over various levels and layers. Ryder can create big plays and is a fun watch in the combine setting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["205850"],"_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-699624111ddc4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='205850' first='Iggy' last='Amorrortu'] was seen on the hoof at 6005 212. The sophomore threw a consistently good football throughout the entirety of the event, delivering on the line, with touch, placing the ball well and hitting some tight windows. His deep ball flew with proper velocity and hit several targets. He can work off platform and execute well on the run and off balance. Ammorrortu has an opportunity to break out this year with his performances in the camp and combine setting before locking in at QB1 this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2131381"],"_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-699624111de43"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2131381' first='Brady' last='Cloherty'] comes in at 6016 and around 185. He is a natural thrower of the football. His throwing motion is easy and fluid. The release is quick. Over the course of observation, Cloherty executed a variety of throws delivering with touch and velocity. The deep ball travels well and he flashed the ability to complete the difficult pass. Cloherty was an all conference player and offensive MVP in 2025 for Plainfield East. He will suit up this fall for Mount Carmel.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
