He is a raw QB with a ton of promise, and took limited reps last year mainly in garbage time.   Size: Standing at 6'2" 185-Pounds, he has a solid but undersized frame for a QB. He is a dual threat style playmaker, who should look to reach the 195-200 pound mark throughout High School.

Both strength and accuracy can continue to improve.   Footwork: His footwork is excellent, and I like his ability to use his legs to escape the pocket.

Arm strength is also a strong suit, as while there are not many deep throws, he is capable of hitting all hashmarks off the field whether inside or outside the pocket.
