Antonio Casias Antonio Casias 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Pinnacle | 2026 State AZ brings a lot to the table, and it’s not just his speed. He’s a true dual-threat guy who can make throws all over the field, and he doesn’t hesitate to tuck it and run when the situation calls for it. What makes him stand out, even in what’s expected to be a pretty loaded quarterback room at Pinnacle, is the way he mixes that athleticism with poise and polish. He’s got good mechanics and delivers the ball on time. But when the pocket breaks down or the defense gives him an opening, he knows how to flip the field with his legs. It’s not just scrambling, either — he’s smart about when to run, and when to keep his eyes downfield and trust the play to develop. Once he’s cleared to play, he could end up being the guy who gives Pinnacle’s offense a little something extra.
