PRZ Exposure Camp QB Analysis

Our Prep Redzone Exposure Camp was on Friday, as over 70 athletes from across the state (and a few from out of state) came to compete in front of college coaches. We'll have plenty of coverage from the event this week, and we've already taken a bird's-eye view of the camp. Here, we're getting in the weeds with info on the 14 quarterbacks in attendance.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Breaking Down the PRZ Exposure Camp QBs</h2>   We had quarterbacks from the 2027-2030 classes, many of them preferred invites, and this group was excellent, which is always great. A strong QB group means more catchable passes and more competitive one-on-ones.   We had 14 guys in attendance, and each one showed us something positive.   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top-Ranked 2027s</h3>   Our top-ranked guy in attendance was Middle Creek's [player_tooltip player_id='1328747' first='Lex' last='Sevilla'], and it was a really helpful evaluation for me.   In all honesty, I've seen Sevilla throw better than he did on Friday. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. He runs a timing-based attack with some receivers he's worked with for years at Middle Creek, and there was nothing wrong with his mechanics or footwork on Friday. In fact, it was vastly improved from the last time I saw him. He made some tight-window throws, and most of his misses were more about timing with unfamiliar receivers than accuracy or mechanical issues.   He also tested better than I'd expected, with a 4.84 laser-timed 40, 4.47 shuttle, and 7.14 L-Drill.

Seaforth's [player_tooltip player_id='2134913' first='Duncan' last='Parker'] has an offer from FCS Chicago State, and he has some of the best touch of anybody in attendance. He's not the biggest guy, but he has arm strength to make any throw, and a repeatable motion that allows him to deliver with consistent accuracy. He can layer throws (harder to see in camp) and has a good feel for where his receivers will be. He's slated to be a big riser in our next rankings update.   Northwest Cabarrus' [player_tooltip player_id='1301805' first='Hudson' last='Irwin'] is an old-school pocket passer in a sea of dual-threats. He measured in at 6'4", 200 pounds, and while he won't win many footraces, his arm talent compared to other top guys was eye-opening. For a second time this offseason, Irwin showcased elite arm strength and impressive accuracy, especially down the field.   I still need to see a bit more consistency during the season, but his arm talent is ridiculous.   Cleveland's [player_tooltip player_id='1702810' first='Owen' last='Hulbert'] may have a new head coach, but he's entering his second year in the same system, and he looked really comfortable on Friday. I think that'll be key for him this season. His comfort seemed to fluctuate last year, especially as the Rams often went long stretches masquerading as a power run team. Friday was the most confident I've seen him, and it showed. His compact throwing motion works best when he's able to drop back and decisively pull the trigger. His footwork was excellent, which bodes well for this season.   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Eye-Popping Athletes</h3>   I was intrigued to see how both [player_tooltip player_id='1678610' first='Rashad' last='Lynch'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1678614' first='Noah' last='Furr'] tested, and how they threw after.   Lynch ran a blazing 4.65-second 40, but I was more impressed with how he threw. One of the smallest quarterbacks in attendance, it's certainly possible he has a future position change. That being said, I see why Lincolnton's offense is so dangerous. He made some tough throws, and the ball jumped out of his hand relative to his size. I'm not sure exactly what his college prospects will look like yet, but he's a superb high school quarterback.   Also See: <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/05/prep-redzone-all-camp-team-offense/">All-Camp Offense</a>   Furr wasn't quite as fast, but he's an explosive athlete, with a 9-foot, 6-inch broad jump. He can get up to full speed in a hurry. He didn't run a ton as a junior, but I could see that rushing production tick up as a senior. As a passer, he has a unique, but effective, throwing motion and good arm strength.   Since I pre-scout every sign-up, I rarely go in blind to these showcases, but North Mecklenburg's [player_tooltip player_id='2152133' first='Ashton' last='Jones'] slipped through the cracks. Then he put down a 4.64-second 40, 4.32 shuttle, and 9-foot, 3-inch broad jump in the testing portion. A lefty, Jones has mechanics that are largely repeatable, and it doesn't look like arm strength will be an issue.   I didn't expect to put [player_tooltip player_id='1151256' first='Levi' last='Morales'] in this group, but he was a consistent tester, finishing in the top 10 overall in the L-Drill and broad jump. In drills, he looked more comfortable than I've seen him in the past, and I think we'll see him take a big step forward as a sophomore. I wrote down that he already looks college-ready from a physical standpoint, and he should continue to improve as a decision-maker.   Finally, the only out-of-state passer in attendance, Fort Mill's [player_tooltip player_id='2075873' first='Harper' last='Love'], did some nice things as a passer. He's an experienced JV starter who should compete for the starting varsity job this season. If he does win that job, we think he could challenge defenses with his arm and his legs.   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">What to Make of the 2028 Class</h3>   We had more quarterbacks in both the 2027 and the 2029 classes than in the one between them, but the three rising juniors really impressed.   [player_tooltip player_id='1616112' first='Jonah' last='El-Amin'] started some games as a freshman before transferring and backing up a Division-II signee as a sophomore. Now, he goes through his first offseason as the presumed starter. He's the rare athlete who measured in bigger than what we had listed on Prep Redzone, and he's a promising athlete. As a passer, he was more consistent than I've seen in the past, and the ball comes out with some zip. He's 6'3" with a good arm and some speed, so that should work for college scouts.   Leesville Road's [player_tooltip player_id='2190831' first='Bryce' last='Thomas'] backed up a junior last season, but is the presumed starter after last year's starter transferred out. He was impressive in very limited action, averaging nearly 15 yards per attempt. He's fearless, frequently taking on tougher throws in one-on-ones and flashing some awesome deep balls.

Perhaps the most surprising performance was that of rising sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2123450' first='Ahmad' last='Francis']. It's not that he was an unknown; Francis was one of only a handful of freshman starters across the state, attempting 49 passes for a run-heavy Mount Airy team.   But I was blown away by how mature he looked. While I always check jersey numbers for some of the top players in attendance, I prefer to let my eyes drift to whichever players seem to be performing. I consistently found myself watching the ball jump out of Francis' hand. He delivered with accuracy and precision with surprisingly advanced mechanics. I checked with a couple of the coaches in attendance just to make sure I wasn't seeing something I shouldn't, and they all agreed: Francis was fantastic on Friday.   As he transfers to East Forsyth, Francis is firmly on our radar as a potential high-level college prospect.

His wingspan and hand size suggest he's going to continue to grow, and he had some nice throws in both drills and one-on-ones. I loved his attitude, always willing to be one of the first in line. After most of the players had left, Cattelona was still out there, throwing with some guys and working on the things he'd practiced during camp.   Finally, we have our youngest participant. [player_tooltip player_id='1590808' first='Pierce' last='Giles'] has had an impressive middle school campaign and turned heads in 7-on-7s. Since there's so much projection involved at the middle school level, I usually steer clear of that age group (PRZ North Carolina is actually one of the latest states in the network when it comes to ranking each year's freshman class). That said, I'd heard from enough outside sources that I was intrigued enough to invite Giles to a camp designed for the 2027-2029 classes.   I was curious, and to be honest, I forgot to watch him during athletic testing. Then, when drills started, I kept finding myself watching Giles, much like I did with Francis. The ball leaps out of his hand, and he has excellent accuracy. I saw an underthrown ball or two, usually when throwing to some of the better, faster receivers, given that he doesn't have much experience throwing to that caliber of athlete. But overall, I was highly impressed.   Providence has a solid returning starter, but I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see Giles get some extended run on the varsity team this season.
