Without question, the best athleticism we saw on Saturday in Sioux Falls at the quarterback position belonged to Groton 2029 quarterback Asher Johnson Asher Johnson 5'11" | 172 lbs SD . He tested in our top 5 in attendance with a 4.77 40-yard dash on lasers, showed off his elusiveness with an inside a top 10 finish in the L-drill at 7.34, and the explosiveness is surely going to elevate even further with an 8’10 broad jump which finished #10 overall at our Dakotas Showcase, all for a quarterback prospect just about to enter his sophomore year at Groton. He got out of the pocket swiftly in the reps I watched and I became more intirgued with his release outside of it the more I watched Asher’s reps on Saturday at Augustana. He also has sound mechanics I felt for his age, that have so much time to still grow as he has three years left under his belt of high school football to develop. Surely one that will be a surefire new name to our 2029 South Dakota rankings update.

The fastest 40-yard dash in the quarterback group came from right up the road in 2029 prospect Asher Johnson Asher Johnson 5'11" | 172 lbs SD of Groton. The 5’10 166 pounder, ran a 4.7 in the 40, 4.59 in the pro shuttle, and 7.42 in the L-drill all of which are very intriguing from an athletic profile perspective especially as just a freshmen. Watching his reps during Indy drills, we I was impressed with the poise this young man had inside the pocket for his age and certainly watching his throws you could tell right away the upside that he has at the quarterback position as a first-year starter for Groton. One that you should certainly see on our next 2029 rankings update.
