<p class="text-gray-700">Wyler had a breakout sophomore season throwing for over 2,200 yards and 28 touchdowns leading Ben Franklin to an 11-2 record. At 5'9” 160 lbs. he's highly technical with his footwork and throwing mechanics in the pocket. He shows good body control, rhythm, and ball placement throughout his drop back and as he works through his progression. Knows how to maneuver around the pocket to manipulate pressure creating throwing lanes as he extends the play. Flashes a good ability to improvise and create plays when protection breaks down. Led all 2027 QB's in passing during the 2024 season. Debuts in the rankings at #45 overall and the eighth ranked QB in the 2027 class.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A lot to like about the dual-threat skillset for the QB out of Sunnyslope. He shows a lot of natural ability at the position both as a passer and ball carrier. Flashes excellent arm talent to make all the throws necessary to all three depths and the boundary. Shows he can mix up velocities to put touch on the ball, be accurate from different arm angles, and make accurate throws from various off-balance platforms. Plus accuracy and ball placement skills putting it in a position where only his receiver can make a play and then run after the catch. Like his ability to move the chains as a ball carrier both on designed runs and on broken plays using his quick cuts and speed to make defenders miss. Ranked as the #9 QB in the 2027 class and #47 overall but expect upward movement as he develops and progresses.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">During his sophomore year, Crawford ranked third in receiving yards in the 2027 class and was honorable mention in the All-Arizona team. He had 33 receptions for 829 yards with eight touchdowns highlighted by a week three performance going for 12 catches for 273 yards and three touchdowns. Possesses a long 6'1” 165 lb. frame with room to add weight without sacrificing his downfield speed. Excels as a deep threat that can track and adjust to ball flight. He's strong at the catch point attacking the ball in the air with his hands at the high point. Large catch radius using good extension to play the ball outside his framework. Good upside and foundational skillset to build on.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">LaDuke flashed his dynamic playmaking ability throughout his sophomore season on his way to being named the 4A East Sky Offensive Player of the Year and leading Snowflake to a 12-1 record. At 6'0” 185 lbs. the game and position come naturally for him. He's a plus athlete with above average quickness and a natural sense of timing in his movement and as a passer. Good ability to navigate the pocket, extend the play, and evade rushers and uses his mobility as an asset to avoid pressure and create plays on the fly. Plays hard and tough showing he can stand in the pocket and deliver with defenders closing in and absorb contact to avoid sacks and break tackles when carrying the ball. Checks in as the tenth ranked QB in the 2027 class and #52 overall.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hawkins dominated the 8 man level flashing his versatility and explosive playmaking ability while being named the CAA D2 Player of the Year. Outstanding athleticism and fluidity in his movement. He's quick twitch with plus short area burst allowing him to shake defenders and work to space. Instinctive with the ball in his hands he's able to create running lanes with quick lateral cuts and has the top end speed to breakaway once in space. Can attack a defense lined up in the backfield or in the slot with natural catching ability at all three depths. Was near the top of rushing, receiving, and scoring amongst the 2027 class totaling 1,145 yards on the ground, 710 yards receiving, and 33 touchdowns.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Cooper was a 1,000 yard rusher as a sophomore using a combination of strength and speed. At 5'10” 205 lbs. he's a tough tackle with a well-built frame and natural power in both his upper body and lower half. Great contact balance to drive through and break tacklers at the first level and then uses a series of well-timed stiff arms to force secondary defenders off his body. Applies early pressure to the defense by pressing the LOS quickly and has the vision to find and cut to space. Flashes a good understanding of how to direct and use his blocks to his advantage to create a running lane. Comes in as the fifth ranked RB in the 2027 class and #64 overall.</p>
