He checks all the boxes from a mechanical standpoint and is a plus athlete in the pocket with a live arm and accuracy downfield and plays with tremendous poise and a full field understanding when he has time and when under pressure. Bower should be hearing from plenty of schools once this year comes to a close and he will be one of the top ranked prospects in the 2029 class in our next rankings update. Through five weeks bower has passed for 1,188 yards and 11 touchdowns while completing almost 80% of his passes downfield and being a key part of Boise's impressive run game as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1506674"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab55ba3da01d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stern is a very exciting passer that can run around and make plays with his legs, buys time in the pocket and has a rocket arm downfield while showing he can fit the ball into tight windows, throw his receivers open and has good spin and velocity on the ball over the top. Stern is a complete passer that has open field speed, good pocket presence and processes quickly while able to move defenders with his eyes and throw from various platforms while on the urn and across his body. So far he has thrown for 1,355 yards and 17 touchdowns while tacking on another 467 yards on the ground with 8 scores. He leads the state in passing so far and someone is going to get a big time steal after the season as we close in on national signing day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2082459"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab55ba3da080"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Jerome product checks into the rankings as the number two passer in the state per Maxpreps and has had a very nice breakout junior season as we enter into the second half of the year. He does a nice job scanning the field, gets the ball out quick and on time while able to zip it in-between defenders and throw his receivers open downfield on vertical shots. He also shows he can tuck it and run when needed while not afraid to take a shot to deliver the ball downfield and has pocket escapability and a open field gear in the clear. So far he has passed for 1,300 yards and 6 touchdowns while adding another on the ground and has done a very nice job managing games and has full command of this offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Logan Iverson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"185","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Sandpoint","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab55ba3da181"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Iverson has been leading one of the more explosive offenses in the state this year and has no shortage of weapons to spread the ball around to on the outside and in the slots. He is a very athletic passer that scans the field quickly, moves defenders with his eyes and shows he can throw on time and keeps his eyes downfield under pressure while not afraid to take a shot either. Iverson shows good arm strength and spin on the ball at 30+ yards downfield and has touch over the top to drop it into a phone-booth against tight coverage. Iverson has passed for just over 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns and should be right around the 2,000 yard passing marker by seasons end as Sandpoint looks to make a post season push come November. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2127240"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab55ba3da1d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Van Boven checks into our passing leaders list as a top five passer in the state heading into week 6 and has been on a tear to start the season. He is a very athletic and fluid mover in the pocket that can scramble and buy time with his feet while showing a high IQ and he can fit the ball into tight spaces downfield. He is seemingly comfortable throwing in-breaking and outbreaking routes on time and can throw across his body from various arm angles without losing zip or touch on his throws. Through the first five weeks he has thrown for just over 1,000 yards through the air and 9 touchdowns and has been one of the higher efficiency guys we have seen this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
