Today, we're taking a look at some of the 18U QBs who had themselves a good weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2170869"],"_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-69dd277d4ee69"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson made the trip down from Canada and turned in one of the top quarterback performances of the weekend. He was in complete control, consistently delivering the football with timing and anticipation while working through his progressions. The ball came out quickly, and his accuracy stood out at all levels of the field. He operated with confidence and efficiency throughout. I really hope he gets a chance to play ball at the next level because the traits and ability he showed aren't as common as people believe. He was one of my favorite watches of the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["447762"],"_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-69dd277d4eefc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prather's talent translates clearly in person, and once he finds a rhythm he becomes difficult to contain. He shows consistent touch on downfield throws, layering the ball with accuracy and giving receivers opportunities to make plays without breaking stride. There's a natural feel and confidence in his game when he gets comfortable, allowing him to string together completions and control tempo. The arm talent, combined with his ability to settle in and elevate his play, makes it easy to see why his recruitment continues to gain traction and why he's a quarterback worth tracking closely moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1328848"],"_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-69dd277d4ef7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ratliff showed a clean release with good velocity, consistently driving the football with confidence. He made sound decisions throughout the weekend and demonstrated the ability to make the full range of throws. He stayed composed in all situations, operating with a steady presence and clear command of the offense. There's an evident passion in the way he plays, and he left a strong impression as a potential find for the right program looking for a reliable, competitive quarterback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1674091"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69dd277d4f011"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nowling plays well beyond his years, showing advanced timing and accuracy for a young quarterback. He consistently gave his receivers opportunities, placing the ball in spots where only his guys could make a play. His understanding of pace and touch stood out throughout the weekend, and he operated with confidence in every setting. Still early in his development, but the talent is clear, and he's a quarterback to keep a close eye on as he continues to grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1615742"],"_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-69dd277d4f0a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Berry has a long, well-built frame with solid thickness and room to continue developing physically. His footwork is controlled and efficient, allowing him to stay balanced through his delivery. He shows the ability to vary arm angles and still generate clean throws, fitting the ball into tight windows when needed. The combination of size, mechanics, and creativity as a passer gives him intriguing upside moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
