<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colorado's 2A classification continues to showcase quarterbacks who are making their presence felt through impressive passing production, strong decision making and the ability to create plays when opportunities arise. From quarterbacks delivering consistent production through the air to dual-threat playmakers capable of changing games with their legs, this group has given defenses plenty to prepare for. Several signal callers have separated themselves with strong touchdown numbers, while others have demonstrated versatility by contributing as runners.

While he has thrown 11 interceptions, his willingness to push the ball downfield gives his offense opportunities to create explosive plays.

That added dimension gives his team another way to move the football down the field and forces opposing defenses to account for his mobility.

His production shows that he can be a pocket quarterback who can primarily impact games through the air rather rather than being featured through the rushing attack. Stark has rushed for one touchdown but his profile is built around his work as a pocket passer. With 16 touchdown passes on the season, he has shown the potential to make defenses pay when they allow him opportunities to connect with his receivers and execute through the passing game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2457969"],"_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-6ad9144d1b6db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grothe has given his offense a balanced quarterback option, combining passing production with the ability to contribute as a runner.
