Expert Analysis
Eliot Clough | Prep Redzone Scout
Moving up to Class 1A after taking home the Class A title last season for Tri-Center, AJ Harder AJ Harder 6'1" | 160 lbs | QB Tri-Center | 2027 State IA comes in as the top returning passer in 1A this fall. The lone member of the class of 2027 on this list, Harder completed 193-of-303 passes (63.7%) for 2,882 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2024.
A short, unorthodox release that looks a bit like Philip Rivers’ shot-put style throwing motion, Harder gets the ball out quick and on target with some zip. The quick release allows him to fit the ball in tight windows over the middle or in the short game, and he also shows willingness to trust his receivers on deep throws, allowing them to get the ball when he tosses long bombs. He also possesses the foot speed to make plays on the ground and to extend plays in the passing game.
