Expert Analysis
Alin Edouard | Prep Redzone Scout
Carter, a 4-star QB, shows on film that he’s much more than just a dual-threat he’s a polished passer who can make every throw on the field. With over 2,000 passing yards and a 70% completion rate, his accuracy stands out immediately. He consistently delivers a catchable ball, whether it’s quick game concepts, intermediate routes over the middle, or deep shots downfield. He throws with great touch on fades and corner routes, and you’ll see him layer the ball perfectly over linebackers while keeping it away from safeties.
What really pops is his ability to throw on the move. He stays composed outside the pocket and keeps his eyes downfield, making accurate throws even when rolling out or under pressure. He’s comfortable attacking tight windows and doesn’t hesitate to trust his arm, showing confidence and anticipation getting the ball out before receivers fully break open.
His arm strength allows him to stretch the field, but it’s his timing and ball placement that separate him. He leads receivers into space, giving them room to create after the catch, and rarely puts the ball in harm’s way. When you combine that with his 800 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground, defenses are constantly under stress trying to contain him.
With offers from Arkansas, Arizona State, Baylor, Michigan, Tennessee and more, it’s clear programs see the same thing on film — a complete quarterback who can win from the pocket or take over with his legs.

Extremely athletic and boasting a giant frame, Zingelmann is a dynamic QB who flexes around the field showcasing his versatile talent. He flashes great accuracy and arm strength at all three levels of the field, displaying a unique combination of velocity and touch. With the given passing traits, you may predict Carter to be strictly a pocket-passer, but that could not be further from the truth. He demonstrates great ability to escape and incredible lateral chang of direction for his size. Not to mention, he also lined up at WR and reeled in a TD pass last week. Through 4 games, the Cowboys electric offensive leader has compiled nearly 1,000 total yards and 12 TDs. Zingelmann will look to continue his strong play down the stretch and add to an offer list than includes Baylor, Houston, and North Texas.

Carter put together a complete performance, completing 16 of 19 passes for 200 yards while also rushing 12 times for 122 yards and 3 touchdowns, powering the Cowboys to a 28-20 win over Sachse. His efficiency through the air kept the offense moving, but it was his dual-threat ability that truly separated him, punishing the defense with his legs whenever the pocket broke down. He showed excellent decision making, taking care of the football, and stepping up in clutch moments to finish drives. With his leadership and ability to impact the game in multiple ways, he proved to be the difference maker in a hard-fought victory.

Zingelmann also shows the ability to roll out of the pocket and deliver strikes on out routes on the numbers.

Zinglemann is one of the most intriguing prospects in the 2028 class that is about to take off this offseason heading into the fall. He passes the eye test at 6-foot-5 220 pounds, he has a lean, athletic frame combined with the arm talent to make every throw on the route tree. He has a strong arm, with good touch on his deep ball and has the athleticism to evade the rush and make plays with his feet. Zingelmann has been a standout in the past at several PRZ Texas camps as a middle schooler. Zinglemann will be coming into Coppell this fall with the opportunity to get the nod under center. He had a great showing at the UA Camp in Dallas over the weekend and as he continues to develop, Zinglemann is definitely a prospect that college programs should get eyes on. He has a huge upside.

is another quarterback who is about to develop through one of the best high school football programs in Texas, if not the Country. As he is about to begin his career with Denton Guyer High School, Carter has the chance to be one of the most sought-after quarterback in the country if he continues to follow the path that he is on. Standing at 6’1, Carter is already showing that he could be one of the bigger kids in his class and it will only be a matter of time before he fills out his frame. From what I have seen from him on the field, Carter can definitely spin it. With his effortless throwing motion, he makes every deep ball look easy. With his arm strength, Carter is a big play threat that can drop a ball into a bucket from just about any distance. Another impressive aspect to his game his is footwork and poise within to the pocket. With his smooth movement in the pocket, Carter can keep his eyes down field while keeping his body under control. From everything that I have seen from Carter, I believe that it will only be a matter of time before his name pops up on the national level. Be prepared for him to make some noise at Denton Guyer if and when he gets to lead their offense and high-powered program.

out of Crownover Middle School in Texas. Already 6-foot-1 and 165-pounds, Zingelmann looks like he could be the future for Guyer High School at the Quarterback position. Crownover Middle School feeds into Guyer High School, which is currently ranked the No.1 team in Texas. Zingelmann looks like the prototype if asked to create an ideal Pro-Style eighth-grade signal caller. Despite his season ending a bit prematurely with an injury, Zingelmann and his right arm are very promising. He’s a confident passer who trusts both his arm, and his guys on the outside, to make the play happen. That wasn’t more obvious than his performance in a late-September game against Navo Middle School where he went 17-out-of-19 passing, in a 30-0 victory. During that game he made several off-platform throws and threw a few deep balls up for his receivers to go up and get. I’ll take a gutsy Quarterback who believes in himself and the guys around him any day. In a loaded program it may take him a bit to see significant varsity time, but college programs should certainly come knocking before that.
