Shows clean and controlled footwork in the pocket and the ability to mix up arm angles to throw with touch or velocity. Quick processing ability showing he can work through a progression and hit his second or third reads. Throws on time with good anticipation and accuracy to all areas of the field. Good pocket movement and awareness of the rush, shows he can step up, slide laterally, and escape to open up throwing lanes. Flashes good field vision and understanding of coverages/route concepts to manipulate defenders with his eyes. Played his freshman season at Arizona College Prep before transferring to Williams Field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/QBCrewzer7/status/1990636124503761052","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/QBCrewzer7/status/1990636124503761052 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2073837"],"_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-69f3a2aa9bd9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arleth is a multi-dimensional threat with his ability to be productive through the air and with his legs. He's a plus athlete and play creator that can improvise when protection breaks down to keep the offense moving. Smooth footwork and mechanics, he's never in a rush and has repeatable technique/fundamentals under pressure. Throws from a three quarters release point that gets good extension for added velocity. Demonstrates he can throw on the run to either direction off different platforms without sacrificing accuracy. Versatile skillset and good positional flexibility to play multiple spots depending on need.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/josharleth1/status/1984290648212779121","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/josharleth1/status/1984290648212779121 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2067440"],"_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-69f3a2aa9be8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Strong dual-threat skillset and natural instincts for the position. Demonstrates great feel and awareness for the situation to be in command of the offense and create plays. Like his ability to adjust on the fly and take what the defense gives him with quick decision making. Possesses a live arm with the strength to throw downfield with touch, across the middle with velocity, or to the perimeter with precision. Great ability to manipulate pressure and maneuver the pocket to escape the rush and create second chance throwing windows. Good athleticism, speed, and elusiveness as a ball carrier on broken plays and designed runs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MTBQB/status/1987585359346360652","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/MTBQB/status/1987585359346360652 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140471"],"_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-69f3a2aa9bf7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Giglio is a well-rounded athlete to be effective through the air and with his legs. He's a confident passer with good ball placement skills to all levels of the field, puts it in good position for his receiver to play the ball and run after the catch. Quick/compact release with the ability to get the ball out under pressure, shows he can quickly reset and line up his hips/shoulders to deliver. Runs hard and tough as a ball carrier, he's got good vision to locate open lanes and flashes the burst to outrun angles. High level competitor that is one to watch as he develops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GiglioMarcello/status/2020024983540625848","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/GiglioMarcello/status/2020024983540625848 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1340803"],"_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-69f3a2aa9c06a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scott is a high level passer with an easy over the top delivery. His pocket mechanics and footwork are smooth and consistent showing good rhythm and balance from the drop back to release point. Flashes good touch and trajectory, can throw with velocity when necessary but excels layer the ball over defenders that is easily catchable. Decisive with his decision making, his reads are quick and shows he can anticipate throws to hit his target out of the break or drive the ball into an open window. Functional athlete, that can keep the offense on schedule by making plays with his legs. Intriguing early prospect with a lot to like about his overall skillset and upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Ryk_QB1/status/1988667227760148548","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/Ryk_QB1/status/1988667227760148548 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
