For this upcoming season, the talented QB will be heading to Lincoln. Misla will join a loaded QB room at Lincoln.   Size: Standing at 5'10" 165-Pounds, Misla displays a solid frame for a QB. He can look to add more good weight to fill out his frame, and I believe 175-185 is his ideal frame.   Arm Accuracy/Strength: Misla has a strong arm, and can hit all three levels of the field. I like his ability to hit both hashmarks, and fit the ball into tight windows. His accuracy is amazing as he can hit receivers in stride, allowing plays to be extended. Misla can fine tweak both for improvement going forward.   Footwork/Mechanics: His footwork is solid, and he understands a three-step drop, and can efficiency se it throughout the game. He doesn't plant his feet, and stays moving allowing him to get the most out of his throws, but also affect accuracy. He has solid mechanics, and delivers the ball quickly and on the money. He should look to improve his arm angle and add more lift to his throws.   IQ: Misla is a strong QB, who showcases good understandings of defense, and can operate an RPO, Option system well. He moves around the pocket, and feels pressure, avoiding sacks. He can escape with his legs, and while not the fastest, moves well downfield.   Final Word: Misla is an outstanding QB, who showcases an high IQ, and understanding of the game from under center. He has good arm talent and accuracy both of which can be improved, and shows solid footwork and mechanics which also can be improved. Misla is an underrated QB to watch.     Background: The Section Nine Gunslinger hails from Middletown, and is one of the quickest QB's in the state. He has seen his ranking increase, and was one of many impressive QB's at our Winter Showcase.   Size: Standing at 5'10" 170-Pounds, he has a solid frame for a QB. While on the smaller side, he showcases good weight at 170, and should look to reach 175-185-Pounds to help fill out his frame.   Arm Accuracy/Strength: Royal has work in progress accuracy, and sometimes throws behind receivers. His accuracy across the middle is exceptional at the small and medium levels, and he hits his players chest level with a on the money strike. His strength is good as well, and he can toss it deep or short on any play.   Footwork/Mechanics: Royal has solid footwork, and showcases a good drop back. Taking snaps from the shotgun mainly limits the drop on tape. He is a bit antsy and can work on setting his feet and stepping into throws. His mechanics are solid, and can vary on throws. He has a good release, and angle with his throws. This is where he should focus his training.   IQ: Royal showcases a good IQ, and understands the defense. He can carve through formations easily, and trusts his receivers. He moves around the pocket well, and never holds onto the ball too long.   Final Word: Royal is an outstanding young QB, with tons of talent. He should look to improve his footwork and mechanics, and with this and his strong arm and good accuracy, I see an outstanding QB.     Background: Morales started his career for Archbishop Stepinac in the CHSFL, and has since transferred to Somers in Section One. He has played snaps on JV and Freshman for Somers and Stepinac, and showcases some good traits.   Size: Morales has a solid frame standing at 6'0" 175-Pounds. He has good height, and is in the middle of the chart. His weight is on the slim side, and he should look to reach 185-195-Pounds to fill out his frame.   Arm Accuracy/Strength: Morales has a cannon for an arm, and might have the strongest in his class. His deep ball can hit up to 50 yards with ease. His accuracy is good as well, as he can put the ball on the money at all three levels. His placement and leading receivers can be Improved but he is a general with the ball.   Footwork/Mechanics: Morales has solid footwork, and understands a three-step drop. He moves around well, and he keeps feet moving to get ready to move or throw. His mechanics are solid as well, and he can launch the ball, with a solid angle. I like his ability to get the ball out quick while under pressure, but he does tend to float the ball allowing defenders to catch up.   IQ: Morales understands a defense, and can stand tall or move around the pocket. He is not afraid of contact, and can deliver the ball with good accuracy through hits. He is not the fastest runner but protects the ball, and can escape for good gains or be used in design runs.   Final Word: Morales is a QB I need to see at the Varsity level. His blend of arm strength makes him a deadly weapon under center. Moving forward he should look to fine tweak his mechanics and footwork and continue working on accuracy. Morales is a QB who can rise as rankings progress.     Background: Fitzgerald was part of a Section One winning Mamaroneck squad this past season, and is a new QB to the 2028 rankings.

He can hit all three levels, and shows the ability to make plays outside the pocket. His strength is impressive as he can hit all hashmarks with ease.   Footwork/Mechanics: This is where Fitzgerald should focus his training moving forward. He takes a majority of snaps from under center, and constantly moves around the pocket. Stepping into throws, or slowing down his footwork, can lead to more accuracy on throws. His mechanics are decent and while he gets the ball out quick, he should look to change up his angle, and refine his motion on throws to increase accuracy.   IQ: Fitzgerald is a smart QB. He can understand a defense, and is a true general of the offense. His ability to understand and find the open man is impressive. He keeps the pocket clean, and limits mistakes with the ball.   Final Word: Fitzgerald is a solid QB, who showcases an elite IQ, and good football knowledge. He is raw but showcases a good frame, with a strong arm. He should look to improve his mechanics and footwork as he progresses through High School.
