Bradin Dupper
Bradin Dupper
- Powerful Rusher
- Elite Arm Strength

- True Playmaker
-A key selling point for Dupper is his explosive athleticism. He is a pure athlete. A dual-threat quarterback who has all the tools. This is what gives Bradin Dupper such a high ceiling and why college teams will be giving him much consideration.
- Athleticism
- Decision Making
- Accuracy
- Arm Strength
-Musch ability all starts with his athleticism. His athletic ability gives him the base to be an outstanding creator both inside and outside of the pocket. He has the anticipation to slide up into the pocket when pressure arrives. But, when the play breaks down he does have the awareness and skill to escape the pocket effectively. He is able to run outside of the hashes, picking up extra yards with his feet if needed, but, he can also buy his receivers time by using his instincts to create off-script.

He can alternate his gears rapidly and has the stop/start ability which gives him his great change of direction.

-William Mitchell is a special player whose natural instincts can make the difficult appear easy. He has the arm strength and accuracy to deliver from the pocket but doesn’t sacrifice velocity or placement when throwing off-platform or changing arm angles. Mitchell is also tough as nails and play strength make him a dangerous dual threat.
Jackson Poldiak
Jackson Poldiak
- Decision Making
- Mentality
- Accuracy
- Touch
-It’s hard not to talk about Jackson Poldiak’s arm talent. To start with, Poldiak’s arm strength is more than good enough. He is able to hit all areas of the field with multiple different techniques. Poldiak has exceptional velocity and power when needed, but he also has the ability to change up his throwing speed depending on what area of the field he is targeting. He can power the ball outside the numbers with impeccable ball placement while also having lovely touch on downfield throws.
Easton Smith
Easton Smith

- Awareness
-What really separates Easton Smith and that is his unwavering creativity. Smith has naturally instinctive field vision. His awareness and anticipation skills are magnificent. His ability to show patience and to be able to react decisively and instantly is impressive. But he also has the traits and skills to take what he sees and immediately act upon them.
Tyren Washington
Tyren Washington
Tyren Washington combines speed and strength which makes him deadly with the ball in hand. He is a space finder and the separation he can create and find himself in is otherworldly. Washington has a natural knack for knowing where the space is and hitting it. He is twitchy and elusive to slice through gaps cleanly and smoothly and has the contact balance to bounce off tacklers. His change of direction is as sharp as a knife. His footwork is always active, meaning he can plan his foot and have a sudden transition in a split second. He then has a great burst of speed to create separation at any level of the field. He has both the acceleration in short areas and the staying pace downfield.
- Fundamentals
- Size
- Physicality & toughness
- Blazing Speed
-The two words that I thought about after watching Marc Woods Marc Woods 6’4″ | 190 lbs | DB James Clemens | 2024 State AL film were physical and athletic. Those two words will be repeated a lot when talking about Woods. A twitchy and explosive athlete, he has more than enough athleticism to play corner at the next level. Not only he’s physical and athletic but he’s quick and fluid. He has the flexibility to flip his hips which leads him to have the body control to stick with the speediest of receivers and track the ball brilliantly.
