Size: Standing at 6'3" 180-Pounds, Carney showcases an elite frame for a QB. His weight is on the slimmer side, and he should look to reach the 200-Pound mark to help fill out his frame.   Arm Accuracy/Strength: Carney has an extensive arm, and showcases an elite level of strength with his throws. He can hit targets with accuracy 45+ yards down field. He leads his targets with accuracy, and can find them open in space for big gains.   Footwork/Mechanics: He takes snaps from the shotgun, and showcases an understanding of letting plays develop. He can move around the pocket well, and showcases good footwork on his throws. His mechanics are solid, and while he can fine tweak things like his motion and arm angle, he displays an outstanding ball, paired with a quick release and good placement   IQ: Carney has a high IQ, and feels the pocket well. He can keep the backfield clean. He showcases the ability to escape the pocket and create gains with his legs.   Final Word: Carney is an elite level 8-Man football IQ, who showcases the ability to use legs and arms to carve through defenses across the field. He should work on fine tweaking all his traits as he moves through high school.     Background: Heading to the Catholic League, Jiminez is a prospect who has flown under the radar throughout his High School Career. He is a player who can play multiple positions.   Size: Jiminez displays an undersized frame for a QB, standing at 5'8" 150-Pounds. He is undersized in both charts, and should look to reach his ideal frame of 5'10" 175-185-Pounds before the end of High School.   Arm Accuracy/Strength: Jiminez showcases a strong arm, with the ability to reach targets at all three levels. I like his ability to place the ball on 50/50 contested throws. His accuracy can vary on throws, and he should work on leading receivers, and getting the ball out in front of his receivers.   Footwork/Mechanics: He showcases a good drop back, and taking most his snaps from shotgun he showcases a good three step-drop back. He keeps his feet moving allowing him to hit throws downfield. His mechanics are strong, and he showcases a good release, with speed that allows the ball to get out fast, and fit into tight windows.   IQ: He showcases a good IQ, with the ability to move around the pocket and feel pressure. I like his ability to fit the ball into tight windows and move downfield with each play behind the LOS.   Final Word: Jiminez is a raw underrated QB, who needs to reach his ideal frame as he progresses through high school. I like his IQ, and his ability to fit the ball through tight windows. He should fine tweak his mechanics, and work on his accuracy and strength moving forward.     Background: The South Park Buffalo QB, has flown under the radar so far through his High School Career, but that ends today. He is a versatile QB, who is a true dual threat.   Size: Standing at 6'4" 190-Pounds, Brown showcases an impressive frame for a QB. His height is elite, but his weight is on the slimmer side, and he should look to bulk up to 200-210-Pounds to fill out his frame.   Arm Accuracy/Strength: A strong arm is on display with Brown, and he shows the ability to hit all hashmarks, and levels with ease. The mid and short range throws are the best. His accuracy is pinpoint, and I like his ability to hit receivers on the money with his ball placement. Arm Accuracy and Strength, is easily one of his best traits.   Footwork/Mechanics: He has good footwork, and showcases his drop on each clip of film. He takes a small step back on each throw, and could look to use a three-step on his snaps. I like his mechanics, and he showcases a good release which could be sped up. His arm angle, along with his power, as the ball can float on occasion.   IQ: Brown showcases a good IQ, and displays an elite understanding of an offense. I like his placement on 50/50 balls. While he's not a runner, he can use his legs to move around the pocket and create plays for his team.   Final Word: Brown is an underrated QB, who can easily shoot up rankings as he progresses through High School. I like his ability to put the ball in good placement, and create plays downfield. He should fine tweak his accuracy, mechanics and footwork, to continue improving through High School.
