I love the way he plays quarterback. His film is excellent as a runner and as a thrower. Then he earned a top 5 performance at the showcase. He showed a consistent ability to throw the ball all day. McKinney is a good quarterback in the WPIAL, and I expect a breakout season from him. He is that talented a player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Full season highlights <br>Class of 2028 Quaterback<br>6'0 190<br>Woodland Hills High School <a href="https://twitter.com/TheWPIALEdition?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TheWPIALEdition</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PA_TodaySports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PA_TodaySports</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZVicCastillo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZVicCastillo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Insider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Insider</a> <a href="https://t.co/LDfLQFgh6p">pic.twitter.com/LDfLQFgh6p</a></p>&mdash; Jaron McKinney Jr (@JaronMcKinneyJr) <a href="https://twitter.com/JaronMcKinneyJr/status/1997456101693177999?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 7, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1557625"],"_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-6a1051158e819"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1557625' first='Ford' last='Schmitt'] was outstanding at the showcase.

His ability to cover running backs was impressive because he has the skills to lock them down in coverage. He also showed a good ability during individual drills. Schmitt was a monster all day at the showcase. He earned a 1st team selection for his performance. I cannot wait to watch him play next season for Mt. Lebanon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Awesome event yesterday <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzonePA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzonePA</a>.

Meier played well the entire showcase, but especially stood out during one-on-one drills. He was able to lock up wide receivers and cover them one-on-one at a high rate.
