2029 Rankings Update: QB Countdown, QB12-QB7

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We start our QB countdown in the 2029 rankings in Nebraska starting with every QB ranked QB12 thru QB7 within our rankings. In the end, we will have evaluated every quarterback in this 2029 class, but we start with these six that show what skillsets they bring to the table, where their upside is, and where they could progress further up our rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2448714"],"_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-6af4d965aa081"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brody is a quarterback that I feel if we can see morre tape incoming, that he makes a quick push into our top 10 for the quarterback. The 6'4 175 pounder has well-versed precision on intermediate routes that creates open field plays for his receiving core. He shows off the consistency with that skillset even when he's under duress. Another intriguing throw that Brody makes on intermeidate routes is on his out routes around the end zone as he shows off the progressive touch that is only going to keep getting better over time over the coming years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450697"],"_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-6af4d965aa0ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Drew is one that I feel has upside to grow inside the pocket with his footwork but yet you can see how his arm talent contributes with his touch throws inside that pocket. That progression shows even further the deeper you get into his tape as you can gauge the comfortable he has on deep and intermediate routes with the throws he's able to make. The 6'2 160 pounder frrom Alma is one that has blossomed the more I watch his tape under pressure and is one that could progress within our top 10 group that has a lot of upside left to prove between now and his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2139601"],"_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-6af4d965aa0dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Checking in as QB10 in our 2029 rankings is Pierce quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='2139601' first='Brody' last='Scholting'] and is that impressed me on tape quickly. The 5'10 170 pounder, has a lot of power in his arm strength on intermediate routes and you can gauge quickly at the poise that Brody has inside the pocket with his throws. He has great vision too with his legs that he can utilze to his advantange for long runs that show off his patience. He's one of the most well-rounded gunslingers thus far out of this 2029 class as one that is quite balanced on tape with what you see on tape. Brody surely could be a riser in this 2029 class upcoming.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2133570"],"_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-6af4d965aa0fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you want a 2029 quarterback that shows off the elusiveness with his legs out of the pocket, you'll want to take a look at our QB9 in our Nebraska rankings in Devin Murcek out of Lincoln Northeast. For his size, he throws a pretty clean ball from a touch perspective over the middle of the field and throws a deep ball that is where it needs to be from a precision perspective. Devan is one that is very efficent with his legs and is one that consistently finds opening with his ball placement ability. He's going to be one to keep an eye for out of the city of Lincoln when it comes to the quarterback position over the coming years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450661"],"_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-6af4e7d6546cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moving to our QB8 in the 2029 class is [player_tooltip player_id='2450661' first='Clayton' last='Blaha'] out of Bellevue East. Clayton is one that intrigues me with how quickly he can improvise out of the pocket and utilze his legs downfield. He's also proficent on all three levels of the field and is one that has upside when it comes to his touch throws on intermediate routes. He's one that I feel could be higher on our 2029 rankings with rolling some of his smoother throws to the top of his game tapes along with a regular season tape to show his top plays from throughout the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1619021"],"_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-6af4e7d654700"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most efficent releases you are going see amongst this group comes frrom [player_tooltip player_id='1619021' first='Jackson' last='Pilege'] of Millard South. What stands out about Jackson is his progression ability, as he is very quick getting to his second read especially when he is throwing into intermediate routes. Jackson is also well-versed with his ball placement in small windows over the edges of the field. He's one of the quickest on his throws out of this group and has the early looks of a stockriser out of this 2029 group of quarterbacks. Jackson I feel could be one that crracks the top 5 here very soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
