Daniel should have no problem grabbing attention at camps. He should always be one of the biggest QBs at any camp, standing 6’4″ 230 lbs. The junior is going to hold the attention when he starts letting the ball rip too. Daniel is blessed with a strong arm that explodes out of his hand and attacks all three levels of the field on a rope. The big man has surprisingly quick and agile feet that allow him to set, slide and reset, or get out of the pocket to buy time. Van Camp has done well developing his mechanics so everything works as one big unit, giving him the ability to be accurate from the pocket and on the run. Daniel is a name to highlight when you are at the same camp as him this summer. He has the size, mobility, and all around arm talent that will get him offers this summer.

The big QB out of Lake Forest has his team off to a strong 4-1 start. The 6’4″ 230 lbs frame looks the part of a high level college QB. The arm talent is right there with it. It is the arm strength in particular that is special. Every area of the field is available when Van Camp drops back to pass. Daniel has an efficient throwing motion, and the ball explodes out of his hand. On short to intermediate throws he can just flick his wrist and the ball is on a rope. He can easily attack downfield too without having to put much air under it if he needs to get it there now. The rising QB is also completing 60% of his passes on the year. That control over the ball placement while putting head behind it is a difficult thing to learn. The film shows him doing it weekly. Get him on your radars now if you don’t already.

A massive QB prospect going into his upperclassman campaign, 6’5, 230 lb. Lake Forest gunslinger Daniel Van Camp Daniel Van Camp 6'4" | 220 lbs | QB Lake Forest | 2025 State IL is a WL QB that PRzIL will be monitoring closely for the next rankings update. Van Camp has been busy this June, having already attended the Fighting Illini prospect camp, Michigan prospect camp, UIndy mega camp, Lake Forest mega camp, and Northwestern high school camp, and is also a standout defenseman on the Lake Forest lacrosse team. His sophomore varsity  highlights display a QB with a big arm that gets the rock out of his hand quickly and is comfortable making and completing throws on the move. There’s some major upside in his game and we hope to see Van Camp really open things up next year as a junior.
