Rounding off this list out of state was a promising upperclassman from Colorado Springs in Fisher Tempas, who despite some rough patches early on made significant improvement as the camp went on and won me over with his ability. That has been his motto as a QB who’s competitive and constantly improving on his game, and that showed itself well on Saturday, flashing great accuracy at all three levels of the secondary with a clean release and natural deep-ball ability. A strong leader for the Lions who threw for over 2000 yards and 23 TDs last season while guiding the team to a 6-4 record, Tenpas should very soon earn his first offer to play at the next level with how he’s been performing.

Tenpas measures in at 5’11 170-pounds. This past season, he threw 120/229 for 2068 yards, 52.4% completion rate, 23 TDs, 7 INT, with 2 rushing touchdowns. Tenpas isn’t a runner and more of a pocket passing archetype. He has a powerful arm to launch the ball downfield with a good release. Tenpas has good progression speed. He stays poised under pressure and launches the ball downfield. He has shifty footwork in the pocket to avoid pressure. He has good ball placement skills. As we continue on through camp season, look for Tenpas to refine his mechanics.

Tenpas has quickly become one of the most consistent and productive quarterbacks in the 1A ranks.
