Background: The PSAL 3A QB is one of the top in the league. He is a true dual threat playmaker that finally breaks through to the rankings in this update.

Size: Valerio has an undersized frame for the QB position. Standing at 5’9″ 160-Pounds, he is below both the weight and height chart for a QB. His ideal frame would be 5’10” 175-Pounds, which is what he should look to reach as he progresses through High School.

Arm Accuracy/Strength: Valerio showcases a strong arm, and launching the ball downfield, is a trait he does well. He has good placement on balls beyond the 20 yard mark, and allows his players to make plays on the ball.

Footwork: Valerio works best out of the pocket, where we see his footwork evident on his film. He moves well outside of the pocket, and his footwork leads him into accurate throws.

Mechanics: His mechanics are solid, and he showcases a solid release with good touch on his balls. He could look to refine his mechanics and get the ball out quicker.

IQ: he showcases a good IQ, and makes the correct read on his throws. He is a smart playmaker who excels in the RPO/Option game. He feeds his playmakers the ball, and looks for positive gains no matter how he gets them.

Final Word: Valerio is a solid QB in the PSAL, and showcases good dual threat ability, paired with solid accuracy and ball placement. I like his ability to distribute the ball to his playmakers. He should look to improve his footwork and mechanics, while filling into his ideal QB frame as he progresses through High School.
