Dionte Fliss Dionte Fliss 6'1" | 195 lbs | QB Prairie | 2022 IA Prairie QB Class of 2022 Hudl
Dionte Fliss Dionte Fliss 6'1" | 195 lbs | QB Prairie | 2022 IA had a great junior season at QB for Prairie putting up 7 Touchdowns, 908 Passing Yards, and a NFL QBR of 95.13. Dionte has a phenomenal arm and throws his receivers open countless times. One of the biggest parts of his game that I love is his decision making. He threw only one interception during his 2020 season and it was his first year starting at QB. He will have great weapons returning and I wouldn’t be surprised if he blows up as a prospect during his senior season.
Mason Morrow W.D.M Valley QB Class of 2022 Hudl
Mason Morrow didn’t have a normal season. He hadn’t started for Valley until Week 4 against Ankeny. In just five games he cemented himself as the starting QB at Valley and led them to the substate final, which was sadly cancelled due to COVID-19. Mason has great pocket awareness and is very hard to tackle inside the pocket. Watching his Hudl, he makes some amazing plays where he escapes multiple tacklers and gets out of a potential negative yardage play. Mason finished with 3 Touchdowns, 551 Passing Yards, 2 Rushing Touchdowns, and a NFL QBR of 70.68. I would not be shocked if his stock rises during his senior campaign.
JJ Kohl JJ Kohl 6'6" | 225 lbs | QB Ankeny | 2023 State IA Ankeny QB Class of 2023 Hudl
JJ Kohl JJ Kohl 6'6" | 225 lbs | QB Ankeny | 2023 State IA has had a amazing spring so far. He won Positional MVP at Under Armor Ohio and generated interest from schools like Iowa, Iowa State, Penn State, and Illinois. He has a great arm with above average accuracy and is a sneaky quick athlete who can shock people with his mobility at times. JJ also has a massive frame, standing at 6’6 and weighing 210 pounds according to his Hudl profile. I’m really excited to see how JJ performs at Ankeny this season.
Jamison Patton Jamison Patton 6'2" | 190 lbs | DB Des Moines Roosevelt | 2023 State IA Des Moines Roosevelt QB/ATH Class of 2023 Hudl
Jamison Patton Jamison Patton 6'2" | 190 lbs | DB Des Moines Roosevelt | 2023 State IA is starting to receive a lot of hype – and it’s with good reason. Sadly, Jamison only got to play two games his sophomore season, but in those two games he played great. Jamison has amazing playmaking ability and can escape a sack and turn it into a 10 yard gain before you know it. Jamison has a quality arm and can make contested throws at an above average level. In two games he put up 2 Touchdowns, 367 Passing Yards, 3 Rushing Touchdowns, and a NFL QBR of 68.96. I believe that Jamison is about to have a breakout junior season and get college notice.
Jaxon Smolik Jaxon Smolik 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Dowling Catholic | 2023 State IA Dowling QB Class of 2023 Hudl
Jaxon Smolik Jaxon Smolik 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Dowling Catholic | 2023 State IA is going to generate a lot of eyes this upcoming year. Jaxon helped Dowling reach the semi finals and stepped up when starting QB Jake Steingreaber got COVID-19 and had to sit out. He performed well versus a juggernaut Ankeny team and put up the most points against them of any team they faced the entire season. Jaxon is great at anticipating coverages and finding who is going to be open before the play starts. He has great ball placement and knows his mismatches on the field. Jaxon finished with 6 Touchdowns, 794 Passing Yards, and a NFL QBR of 89.5. I believe Jaxon Smolik Jaxon Smolik 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Dowling Catholic | 2023 State IA is going to breakout his junior season and believe he’s going to gain collegiate notice pretty soon.
