Weitzel is likely competing for the vacant QB1 role for the Stillwater Ponies in a couple of weeks, and after last Sunday, I can see why. The kid is confident, friendly, and has shown the ability to compete with his high-level peers. He excels at hitting receivers as they break out of their routes, and his release is both smooth and natural. His ball placement on short routes was stellar, and he threw some of the best slant routes out of his group. I also noticed his footwork was quicker than other 2028s. Even if Wietzel doesn’t snag that starting role this fall, he’s a prospect to know going forward.

A rising pass-catcher out of the 2028 class, Weitzel was manning the helm of the Stillwater Ponies’ freshman squad in 2024, leading his team to an undefeated 8-0 record this fall with the 6A competitor. Weitzel also plays point guard on the basketball team, Weitzel shows quick release, smooth mechanics, solid arm strength, and good touch on his passes downfield. The young buck will stand in there and deliver throws through big hits and oncoming contact and navigates the pocket smoothly and will step up and climb the pocket through pressure. Lots to work with in the Big School competitor’s game.
