<p>We always have a ton of excellent QBs at our camps, and last weekend's camp was no exception. This time around, we had 21 awesome QBs and some notable standouts. So, let's take a look at all of the testing numbers, then I'll quickly speak about seven standouts. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1225836' first='Cooper' last='Derkach'] | Northville</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In terms of QB testing numbers, Cooper is #1. A QB-best 4.56 40, and another QB-best 116in broad jump. Great athletic performance, and Cooper is obviously very well-repped in these drills. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cooper was also a top-three QB when it came to throwing. It all starts with mechanics, and Cooper's mechanics are smooth as butter, allowing him to get maximum power plus more consistent accuracy. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I'm still unsure how colleges will view Cooper. I just hope colleges look past the measurables and look at the full picture. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1583378' first='Amir' last='Forris'] | Detroit MLK</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A GREAT day of testing for Amir. Keep in mind that this is a class of 2029 prospect (current 8th-grader)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>40, shuttle, and broad all hover around average, but most of the numbers included in the average are incoming Juniors and Seniors. Though a camp-best 3-cone? That is phenomenal.<br>Skill-wise, Amir is still a bit raw, and I don't expect him to start on Varsity until 2026 at the very least. Just needs to grow a bit more. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1225800' first='Nikkos' last='Davis'] | Dakota</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I was really looking forward to evaluating Nikkos, and he did not disappoint. He was an all-star in drill work, showcasing quick feet and great throw power. In the routes on air and 1v1 portion, Nikkos had a handful of awesome throws. He flashed an ability to place the ball with pinpoint accuracy while absolutely ripping the ball. He was a tad less consistent than our Top 3 QBs.<br>Lastly, Nikkos tested quite well. He was just 1 inch shy of tying three others for best broad jump, had the 3rd best 40, and a great 4.47 shuttle. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='870323' first='Ben' last='Farkas'] | St. Clair</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ben tested quite well and had the largest hand size of any QB at 10.0 inches. <br>In terms of testing, Ben tied a QB-high broad jump at 116 inches, had a great 4.47 shuttle, an above-average 4.84 40, and an average 3-cone. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In terms of passing, Ben did solid. He throws a nice deep ball, but has some mechanical issues that hold him back a little. Ben is one of those guys who is constantly at camps working his tail off- definitely deserves a chance at the next level. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scotty Szalkowski | Dearborn</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A great shuttle and broad jump tell me one thing: this guy is explosive. I honestly was not able to watch Scotty too much, but I wanted to give him a quick shoutout simply because of his testing times. Great dual-threat upside. </p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1291356' first='Charlie' last='King'] | GR Christian</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Charlie did an excellent job and barely missed our top 3 at the end. Charlie is consistent as they come, and I'm pleasantly surprised by his testing numbers. Will be a college prospect next offseason. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marquell Evans | River Rouge </h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I was not able to get notes on Marquell, but I am impressed by his testing numbers. Far above-average 40, shuttle, and broad jump going into your sophomore year is extremely impressive. Keep improving throwing mechanics and maybe grow a few inches and we have an amazing future prospect. </p>
