He has excellent size already at 6'5" and 190 pounds.  Moves well within the pocket and can throw off platform.  Bit of a low and long release but he has time to tighten that up.  Like the footwork and ability to shift his weight on throws.  Throws the ball well to multiple levels with good timing and anticipation. Zip on his passes along with putting the necessary touch on deeper passes.  Evades rushers and can scramble for a first down when needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2130223"],"_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-69e41015840a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'2" 160 pound QB threw for 1,779 passing yards and 32 touchdowns this past season with a 64% completion percentage.&nbsp; You have to like the size at the position as he looks huge out there going against JV competition.&nbsp; Big armed signal caller that lets it rip downfield Can push it vertically down the field.&nbsp; Pretty long release with a whipping motion.&nbsp; The velo is definitely there and he puts touch on the deep ball getting it over the defensive back for his receiver.&nbsp; Creative scrambler that can move out of the pocket to throw. Good athlete especially at his size.&nbsp; Long levered QB will need to clean up some things mechanically, but wow the physical tools definitely jump out here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625164"],"_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-69e41015840e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Connolly has next up at St. Rita as the 6'3" 190 pound quarterback threw for 32 touchdowns this past season.&nbsp; Athletic quarterback that can scramble running when plays break down.&nbsp; Solid arm strength being able to push it down the field.&nbsp; Seems like he almost guides the ball at times and others lets it rip. Love his play action game both under center and out of shot gun as he sells it well.&nbsp; Mobility throwing on the run.&nbsp; Has the physical and athletic tools you look for at a young age.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625123"],"_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-69e410158412a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The LWE 5'10" signal caller combines good athleticism and a strong arm.&nbsp; Zip on his passes intermediate and downfield.&nbsp; Accurate throwing outside the pocket on the move. Solid touch on passes down the field and on intermediate routes. Can make just about all the throws.&nbsp; Lacks ideal size, but the tape is really impressive!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2174869"],"_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-69e410158418b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quarterback with solid size and frame.&nbsp; Clean mechanically throwing the ball downfield on deep and intermediate routes.&nbsp; Like the mobility he brings being able to move chains on designed runs.&nbsp; Gets the ball out of his hands on time and with the proper velo on the ball.&nbsp; Throws well on the move.&nbsp; Sound footwork and fundamentals.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
