This was one of the easier choices to make in building our Perfect QB recruit. Brady is a technician in the pocket. Every rep looks so close to the last. His feet are quick and are able to set or reset and get the ball out quick. The senior seems to always be in a position where he is set to get the ball out at a second’s notice. The throwing motion matches the consistency of the feet. It is always over the top to negate odds of tipped passes. It is efficient, and the ball jumps out of his hand as he follows through over the top. I have been a huge fan of the mechanics of Hilgart over the years, so he was the quick choice here.

Stats: 8/14, 118 Yards, 1 TD, 1 Rushing TD

Brady wasn’t needed to come out and deliver a 300 yard passing game to pull this victory off. What Grafton did need from him was to be someone would deliver the times he was called upon. The senior QB that almost every single time on Friday night. The poise he plays with in the pocket only comes from dozens of games worth of experience, and Brady has that. The 6’2″ 200 lbs uncommitted passer is a great decision maker with the arm talent to earn a starting job at the next level. His control over ball placement always impresses on tape, and seeing it in person from throw to throw was great to watch. The senior QB is without a doubt a name to know.

Stats: 16/27, 360 Yards, 5 TDs

What’s not to love about the career, season, and Week 4 tape from Grafton’s QB1? The senior has such a talented right arm that can be surgical from swing passes out of the backfield to dropping dimes over the shoulder of his receiver 40 yards downfield. Brady’s touch and ball placement are next level talents. His mechanics from his feet to his follow through are clean, consistent, and effective. The poise he has in the pocket while staring down pressure is a special talent to have as well. The senior QB is a quick and smart decision maker too. Having a QB like this leading the way is such an advantage at the HS level. I can’t wait to see what is ahead for Brady.

One of the best pure passers in the state returns to the field on Friday night as he leads Grafton into a battle with Cedarburg. Grafton will be looking to make their way back to Madison in November with a lot of the key pieces that helped get them there last fall. It will be interesting to see if Brady and the offense start off as hot as they did in 2023 when he threw for 327 yards and 2 TDs on just 26 attempts.

That type of output is always in the cards for a QB of Brady’s talent. The senior checks off all the boxes. Consistent footwork, an arm that can get the ball to every blade of grass with velocity, and the control over his placement to be a 70+% completion percentage passer while attacking every level of the field. The senior is extremely poised and enters his senior season with as much experience as you could hope for. College coaches, keep your eyes on the lookout for this Week 1 highlight tape.

Brady finished 3rd in passing yards in 2023, and is #1 among the athletes who are returning this season.
