Here is the 2025 Season Stockriser Alert for the New England region, highlighting a high-ceiling quarterback from Massachusetts.

Scout’s Analysis: Machado is a premier dual-threat talent whose 2025 tape demands a significant jump in our next rankings update. He is standing 6’3″. His verified speed pops in the open field. He has evolved from a “pocket escape artist” into a true home-run threat as a runner. His arm strength has taken a massive leap, consistently throwing a tight spiral with pinpoint accuracy. Most importantly, his decision-making has sharpened. His release time is faster. This allows him to get the ball out on time and under pressure.

Areas for Growth: His mechanics have improved. Continued refinement of his throwing motion will help eliminate “moon balls.” It will also flatten his trajectory on deep shots.

Recruiting Outlook: Machado’s combination of size, speed, and 20-TD production in 2024 makes him a clear college caliber prospect. He throws the ball with more “zip”. He has improved his speed and lateral quickness. This solidifies his status as a top-tier “stockriser.”
