Through three games this season, he has thrown for over 600 yards and eight touchdowns, along with three rushing touchdowns. Gilcreast can attack the full field with solid arm strength. He has poise in the pocket, keeping his vision downfield under pressure. He can work through both strong-side and weak-side targets while utilizing his good pocket mobility to evade that pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/QB1Kj3/status/2101845508914385004?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/QB1Kj3/status/2101845508914385004?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1662683"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab2b67e44f32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1662683' first='Jacob' last='Smith'] has been strong despite starting the season 0-3.

He can effectively layer the ball over second-level coverage against zone defenses. Keep an eye on him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JacobQB8/status/2099233943245434903?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JacobQB8/status/2099233943245434903?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1593674"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab2b67e44f55"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1593674' first='Easton' last='Jutze'] has kicked off his junior season hot, leading his team to a 2-1 start in his first season as the starter.

Jutze is a smart prospect who is showing rare signs of pre-snap communication and commanding the line of scrimmage in today's game. He can attack the full field with good arm strength and solid decision-making. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/EastonJutze/status/2102111664573227325?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EastonJutze/status/2102111664573227325?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2247729"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab2b67e44f76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2247729' first='Michael' last='Nolewajka'] earns his first-ever ranking and is another quarterback prospect making his first start this fall. The young quarterback is still learning and developing after a 0-3 start. He's gone 54-83 (65%), 617 yards, five touchdowns, and seven interceptions against a rival and two strong outside of the state teams. Nolewajke is willing to attack the field vertically, displaying a quick release and good velocity to hit tight windows near the boundary.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MichaelN2028","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MichaelN2028 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2337875"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab2b67e44f95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2337875' first='Kyle' last='Farquharson'] has taken over as the starting quarterback, currently leading his team to a 3-1 start. They don't throw the ball much (36 attempts in four games) because he's a dual-threat in a run-first offense. He's gone 16-36 (44%), 236 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions. That said, his running ability and experience as a running back stand out. On the ground, he's carried the football 63 times for 318 yards and five touchdowns. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Kyl3Farquharson","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Kyl3Farquharson </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">20 QB PROSPECTS TO WATCH:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.
