Ranked as a QB yet could very well be going to school because of his prowess at the MLB position. Two-way prospect who looks comfortable on both sides of the ball. Bit of a linebacker mentality when tucking and running at QB, he's a big kid, one who would much rather run through you than around you. Love this kid's timing and rhythm when attempting to target underneath 15 yards. Hitches, slants, outs, curls, Sarver anticipates and sees his open man on time and in the way the offense intends. GCC might give him a look at QB, he'll have good LB tape to fall back on if that's not the path they want Sarver to take.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6578b78d53ecd"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MarksmanQB3/status/1725699757090238842","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MarksmanQB3/status/1725699757090238842 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893576"],"_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_0_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6'2, 210u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003ecommitted to play baseball at Lock Haven University.u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernKnow specific D3s that would have loved to bring this young man in, yet he's equally impressive a baseball prospect, if not better. Great for the Jersey Shore kid to have options this late into his HS career. Works out of a spread system, like his feet post-hitch, on his toes and ready to fire, on the cusp of happy feet in the pocket though. Feels pressure in the pocket well. Not an elite athlete but one who excels at making the first leaker miss. Good impromptu skills, several scampers leading to off-platform throws for first downs. Trust him to deliver a catchable ball down the sideline, good depth perception when targeting his man downfield. Asked to sprint-out out of gun often. Would have likely seen D3 love.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6578b78d53f68"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["855056"],"_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_0_evaluation":"The 6A State Champions were ahead in enough games to sit [player_tooltip player_id='164520' first='Samaj' last='Jones'] and let senior [player_tooltip player_id='855056' first='Jack' last='O'Connor'] put some tape on Hudl.

Smooth operator in the pocket who can comprehend all that SJP throws at their man behind center. Accurate and on time, calm while bringing a cerebral approach to the position.

Grove City has offered him a roster spot, likely to receive a few more offers from coaches in need of a QB in the area. Completed 65% of his passes as a senior, scored on 23 different occasions. Baskteball participant with a great GPA, think he could be a fill-in prospect for some D2s potentially. Great scanner of the middle of the field. Hits seams and nines downfield well, most of the beginning of his senior tape shows off his arm talent to hit kids in stride downfield. Deep ball accuracy is a huge plus for a kid barely standing at six feet tall, Smetanka can deliver dots on the run too. Shaler has him moving out of pocket and hitting flood concepts and comeback routes often. 6,000+ passing yards throughout his career.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6578b78d54033"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Keegansmetanka1/status/1719320257175646324","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Keegansmetanka1/status/1719320257175646324 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["558528"],"_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_0_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e5'10, 170u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e3.6 GPAu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernNo tape on Hudl which hurt his rank. Interest from D3s, tape from his junior year, as well as overall team success, finds Cibrone ranked above some great names. Wrestler, former All-Conference QB, I know some D2s that would like to bring him in for a chance away from the QB position. Would serve well at local D3s, at Quarterback that is. Faces an uphill battle in terms of size, yet he hasn't had trouble reeling in opportunities despite what many might see as size deficiency.

Going to be tough for a D2 to take a chance on this kid, at least at QB. Goode moving to DB would likely be a take at the PSAC level, he'd serve as a damn good D3 quarterback out west if anything.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an FCS school PWO this young man, a leader with good grades, a kid who has produced in the Public League, which is tough to do, especially at two different programs. Worked this Lincoln offense to a tee. 2,600+ passing yards, 30+ TDs, 68% completion percentage, call me biased, but this isn't easy to do in the Philly Public League. Smalley had weapons at his disposal, as well as a staff that constructed this offense with the intention of getting their playmakers in the open field. Smalley distributed accordingly, all while flashing promise with his legs as well as his arm to launch balls 40+ yards. Smalley is likely a lock for local D3s, I'm sure D2s will do their due diligence with the senior quarterback.

I've watched Hunsicker work against awesome secondaries, those being 2022s Harrisburg defense, as well as 2023s Cheltenham defense. There's a poise and confidence this young man plays with that negates pressure. Pressure in terms of the moment. He doesn't care who he's up against, doesn't matter that situation. There are intangibles Hunsicker possesses that have me liking him more than the kid's listed above. Unassuming in terms of size, athleticism.

Where he ranks is hardly an issue ath this point in time, all trivial. What's important, a bit surprising too, is that Spang doesn't have a single offer to his name. This is all based on my knowledge, which could be off. Production has always been a plus, his size and grades are a plus. Duality to his game, can run RPOs and read-options matched with [player_tooltip player_id='164518' first='Trey' last='Tremba'] in the backfield. Can stretch the field, can hit hole shots from the pocket (corners/outs). Good tempo in his throws, can layer and loft floaters, can fire off some tight-window throws with some torque too.

Is a lock for D3s in the state in my opinion, has a PSAC ceiling, with many of those PSAC schools gauging whether or not he's a right fit. I would hardly be surprised to see a D2 pull the trigger on Riffle as the weeks progress. Talks about where he plays college ball aside, someone is going to get a steal. Spang and Riffle are kids that I think could turn D3 programs around. Prospects of that level generally move up the ladder in time. We'll see.
