Expert Analysis
Eliot Clough | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the quarterbacks that looks most physically ready for the next level, Tru McBride Tru McBride 6'3" | 210 lbs | QB Fort Dodge | 2027 State IA stands at a tall, athletic and strong 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, allowing him to see over the defense, while also maintaing a solid base that’s tough to bring down on the run or in the pocket. Willing to put his shoulder down and mow over would-be tacklers, the 2027 gunslinger has a little Mark Gronowski to him when he takes off on designed runs.
McBride has a lightning quick release along with an arm that can make a ton of throws — over the middle, down the sideline and about as deep as any other QB can launch it in Iowa. When a play breaks down, he doesn’t immediately look to take off, either. Keeping his eyes down field, his arm strength allows him to find open receivers.
Last season, he completed 94-of-173 passes (54.1%) for 1,247 yards and eight scores last season, along with 53 carries for 177 yards and nine scores. If given the freedom to throw it deep more consistently this season, McBride could have a major breakout senior campaign.
