He is off to a solid start for the season, compiling ten touchdowns and 834-yard all-purpose yards in three games. His measurables reflect FBS group of five and or High FCS Quarterback potential.   I’ve viewed his 2022 season film where he displayed a skill set reflecting ability to make tight window accurate throws.   Doesn’t panic in the pocket. He continues to deliver the same traits this season showing even more comfortability in the pocket.  He steps up nicely into the pocket along with power in his throws downfield.  I like the velocity he puts in his throws.  His pocket awareness is very good. He continues to use his legs when needed and is very successful when doing so. Timed speed and agility/quickness are traits a college coach will likely want to confirm either in person or at a camp.

A phenomenal build, not just height/weight measurables, Davian McDonald Davian McDonald 6'2" | 185 lbs | QB Williston Northampton | 2025 State New E displays a clear focus on building his body from the ground up. McDonald posted a phenomenal 9’5″ broad jump that showed off the explosiveness in his legs. You can tack on his mechanics. Might have the smoothest delivery of any 2025 passer I’ve seen at a camp in the Northeast. I think McDonald could have hit guys in the chest a bit more often, hardly an issue though. I came away pleased with our previous ranking, he fits the mold.
