Friday Film Review: 2027 Quarterbacks

Welcome to this week's Film Room Review, where we take a deeper look at some standout players from across Oklahoma. This session is all about going beyond the surface—diving into the details you only catch when you really study the film. We're talking about technique, fundamentals, decision-making, and how players respond in key moments.   As coaches, this is where you separate flash from substance. Anyone can make a highlight play, but what shows up consistently snap after snap is what really matters. Footwork, leverage, ball skills, eye discipline, effort—those are the traits we're focusing on in this breakdown.   The players featured this week put together strong performances and showed qualities that translate. Whether it's consistency, toughness, or the ability to execute under pressure, each of these athletes gave us something worth studying and evaluating moving forward.   [player_tooltip player_id='1836302' first='Jordan' last='Deroin'] - Booker T. Washington   One word that best describes [player_tooltip player_id='1836302' first='Jordan' last='Deroin'],2027 quarterback now at Booker T. Washington, is athletic. He is a playmaker at quarterback who moves exceptionally well within the pocket and remains composed under pressure. He throws an accurate ball while on the move and has the athleticism to extend plays when protection breaks down. Once he escapes the pocket, Jordan keeps defenses guessing—he has the speed to pick up yards with his legs, but he also does an excellent job keeping his eyes downfield and delivering accurate throws to his receivers. What stands out most is his comfort operating outside of structure. He doesn't panic when a play breaks down, instead using his mobility to create opportunities for the offense. Jordan's ability to throw on the run, paired with his athleticism and decision-making, makes him a dangerous dual-threat quarterback. I really like his poise in the pocket and the way he uses his movement to create explosive plays while keeping the offense on schedule.   [player_tooltip player_id='1035272' first='Braddox' last='Broughton'] - Sapulpa   I was able to coach [player_tooltip player_id='1035272' first='Braddox' last='Broughton'] back in JHigh at Edison Prep and knew one day he was going to be a baller at quarterback. Despite appearing in only eight of his team's eleven games due to injury, Braddox still put together an impressive season, throwing for nearly 1,900 yards and 25 touchdowns. His production speaks to both his talent and efficiency as a passer. Braddox has a quick, effortless release with a smooth flick of the wrist that allows him to deliver an accurate football. He consistently places the ball where only his receivers can make a play, showing touch and timing at every level of the field. One of his biggest strengths is his ability to throw the deep ball, stretching defenses vertically and creating explosive plays. He also moves well within the pocket, keeping his eyes downfield while maneuvering around pressure to extend plays. Braddox is an aggressive quarterback who is always looking to attack downfield, and with his arm talent, any snap has the potential to turn into a game-changing play.   [player_tooltip player_id='1735181' first='Chauncey' last='Cravens'] - Edmond North   Edmond North's [player_tooltip player_id='1735181' first='Chauncey' last='Cravens'] is a true dual-threat quarterback who consistently puts pressure on defenses with both his arm and his legs. He finished the season with more than 1,900 passing yards and 12 touchdowns while adding 682 rushing yards and six scores on the ground, proving he can impact the game in multiple ways. As a passer, Chauncey displays good ball placement and does an excellent job delivering catchable throws to his receivers. He moves comfortably within the pocket, keeping his eyes downfield while navigating pressure. When the pocket breaks down, he has the athleticism and confidence to escape and extend plays with his legs. Whether it's on designed quarterback runs or improvised scrambles, he is a dangerous runner who can turn a broken play into a big gain. What stands out most about Chauncey is his playmaking ability. He is an exciting athlete with the football in his hands and has a knack for creating explosive plays when his team needs them most.   [player_tooltip player_id='1832582' first='Noah' last='Torrez'] - Ryan   One of the most dynamic quarterbacks I watched this week was Ryan's [player_tooltip player_id='1832582' first='Noah' last='Torrez']. A dual-threat playmaker, Torrez has put together an outstanding season, throwing for nearly 1,200 yards and 22 touchdowns while rushing for more than 2,000 yards and 42 touchdowns. Noah is an explosive athlete who can change the game on any snap. He stands tall in the pocket, remains composed under pressure, and throws an accurate deep ball that forces defenses to respect every inch of the field. When the play breaks down, his athleticism takes over. He has the speed, vision, and instincts to escape the pocket and turn a routine play into a highlight-reel touchdown. What makes Torrez so dangerous is his ability to beat defenses in multiple ways. Whether he's delivering a strike downfield or taking off on a designed quarterback run or scramble, he has a knack for creating explosive plays. Defenses must account for him on every snap because, with the ball in his hands, he's capable of scoring from anywhere on the field.   [player_tooltip player_id='1260997' first='Dylan' last='Taylor'] - Union   Union's signal caller [player_tooltip player_id='1260997' first='Dylan' last='Taylor'] is a poised quarterback who demonstrates confidence and composure in the pocket for the RedHawks. Even when pressured, he remains calm and doesn't allow defenders to speed up his process. He keeps his eyes downfield, works through his progressions, and finds the open receiver. One thing that I like about Dylan is his ability to make accurate passes off his back foot when necessary. He places the football where only his receiver has a chance to make the catch, giving his playmakers the opportunity to finish the play. He also throws well on the move, maintaining accuracy outside the pocket while continuing to scan the field rather than locking onto a single target. Dylan's pocket presence, field vision, and ability to stay composed under pressure make him a quarterback capable of creating plays both inside and outside the structure of the offense. We look for Dylan to have a great senior season with the RedHawks at the quarterback position.
