Ahmetovic checks a lot of boxes as a future QB prospect with a good frame and blend of physical tools. 6’3” 195 lbs. he’s long and well-built already as a freshman. He’s an efficient passer with high level accuracy and pocket mechanics. Clean drop back landing with a well-balanced platform and strong base to drive the ball at the short/intermediate levels or push it vertically. The ball jumps out of his hand with velocity using good rotation in the hips and shoulders. Shows he can stand in the pocket under pressure, absorb contact, and still deliver an accurate ball with defenders in his face. Demonstrates an early ability to manipulate coverage with his eyes and work through a progression. Intriguing young prospect that could pop with varsity experience.

Arnel Ahmetovic Arnel Ahmetovic 6'3" | 195 lbs | QB Sandra Day O'Connor | 2029 AZ is a fun evaluation because he wins in a way that usually translates — timing and anticipation. He’s not living on pure arm strength, so instead he’s beating tough windows by being on time, and when you see a young QB consistently throwing with anticipation, you start thinking big picture fast. The ball is friendly for receivers, and that matters more than people admit because it turns “contested-ish” throws into catches instead of hospital balls. Physically, he’s already massive, and the strong base shows up because he’s not easy to knock off his spot; he can absorb bodies in the pocket and still keep his eyes/feet connected well enough to finish the play. The deep ball accuracy is impressive too — he gives his guys a chance down the field without needing to muscle every throw. Defensive coordinators are going to hate prepping for a QB with that size and a legit vertical passing threat, and if he keeps gaining experience and arm strength, that timing-based style is only going to get nastier.

If he keeps developing the details, Arnel has all the tools to become a top guy down the line.
