Eli Manzanares Eli Manzanares 6'0" | 200 lbs | QB North Mustangs | 2026 State AZ has one of the smoother, more natural releases in this group. The ball jumps out of his hand with hardly any strain, and his deep ball comes with real touch. He’s got a big frame that helps him absorb contact and stay upright, but it’s the fluid motion and confidence in his arm that really catch your eye. He’s a guy who clearly enjoys pushing the ball downfield, and when he’s in rhythm, it looks effortless. There’s room to grow in the quick game — getting the ball out faster and working more timing routes over the middle — but the foundation is solid. You can see the improvisation skills too. If the play breaks down, he’s capable of keeping things alive and getting creative. There’s a lot to like here, especially as he sharpens the little things.
