Expert Analysis
Griffin Conant | Prep Redzone Scout
At first glance, Hester only attempted a total of four passes, but he sure did make them count. Believe it or not, but despite Hester’s lack of attempts through the air, the Palmer Ridge quarterback had a knack for the end zone as all three of his completions went for paramount scores. In addition, Hester once again used his legs to find pay dirt on the ground. Simply put, Hester’s decision making is impeccable, he remains poised under pressure, and can make plays out of nothing.
“He’s a guy that our guys do follow. His competitiveness is contagious to our guys.”

Hester might not have flat out burners but he still has some quickness to him, being able to have explosive plays in the running game for his team. He has good vision when running with the football and can find the holes to get into the open field to get extra yards. In the passing game he is able to fit the ball into tight spaces and puts it right on his receiver. He is a good intermediate to deep passer showing good touch on his passes and putting the ball to where only his receiver can catch it.
