Austin Schuder Austin Schuder 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB/ATH Valley Christian | 2027 State AZ stood out not just for his athleticism, but for his commitment to doing things the right way. In a setting where a lot of quarterbacks get lazy with their mechanics — especially when there’s no live rush — he was locked in. His footwork was consistently sharp, and he made it a point to go through proper dropbacks and movement every single rep. That kind of discipline isn’t always flashy, but it shows a real focus on the details. What also stood out was how athletic he looked out there. During testing, I actually had to double check that he was listed as a quarterback — he’s built like a skill guy and ran a solid 4.75 in the 40. He’s in great shape, and it’s the kind of frame that’s going to continue to fill out well. Austin’s a guy who clearly takes pride in his craft. He might not have made the loudest splash of the day, but the way he carried himself, competed, and stayed sharp throughout stood out in a big way.
