Tyson Buckley Tyson Buckley 6'3" | 240 lbs | QB Camp Verde | 2024 State AZ is coming off a big year where he threw 44 touchdowns and won 2A Agua Fria Region Offensive Player of the Year. Listed at 6’3 240 pounds, Buckley is a great mover at that size, able to avoid rushers and make plays outside of the pocket. He has excellent trajectory on his intermediate and deep passes displaying accuracy to both levels of the field. The arm talent pops off the screen with the needed velocity to throw into tight windows. He is also a tone-setter, bowling over linebackers in the open field when his team needs a first down. Buckley has no offers, but an FCS could come calling if he duplicates his production from his junior season.

At 6’3” 240 lbs. Buckley doesn’t have the typical frame of a high school QB but his skillset and stats speak for themselves. He had a monster junior season where he threw for 2,640 yards with 45 touchdowns and was selected to the All Arizona Republic Team, 2A All-Conference team, and voted Region Offensive Player of the Year. As a QB, he’s very calm and collected going through his progression. He shows good pocket awareness and mobility to feel and avoid pressure, keeping his eyes downfield for a target. He’s got a big arm that can throw the deep ball with good trajectory/touch and can also layer the ball over second level defenders. He does a good job anticipating and throwing his receivers open with timing. He makes quick decisive decisions and is a tough tackle when he tucks it and runs. He’s a bruiser when he gets going downhill and initiates contact to overpower defenders at the POA. Broke the school record for touchdowns in a career and wouldn’t be surprised to see him lead 2A in passing again in 2023.
