Expert Analysis
Eliot Clough | Prep Redzone Scout
Though DeGroote didn’t have the best game of his career with West Des Moines Valley, he showed why he’s ranked as the No. 1 QB in Iowa’s 2026, completing 16-of-24 passes (66.7%) for 230 yards and a touchdown, also tucking and running, taking nine carries for 32 yards and a touchdown.
Despite several turnovers, DeGroote kept showing up for Valley, and remained unrattled throughout the game. Northwest brought constant pressure and their pass defense was on top of his receivers at all times. Headed to Northwest Missouri State for his college football career, DeGroote has a ways to go, but the physical and intangible skills are there for him to have a successful college career.
