Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
After a junior season at DePaul College Prep in Illinois that saw him throw for 1,738 yards and 18 touchdowns, Grabinksi was ranked the No. 12 Class of 2027 quarterback in the state by Prep Redzone. Since then, he transferred to Iowa City High and will be competing for the QB1 job this summer. In an interview with the school newspaper, Grabinski said his whole family graduated as Little Hawks and he wanted to do the same. The senior-to-be could boost a City High offense that also added a top-flight running back in the offseason and is returning a lot of talent. Grabinski looks the part during his 11th-grade highlight video. The first clip features him being flushed out of the pocket and eluding multiple defenders during a long scramble for a touchdown. It highlighted his speed and athleticism to make something out of nothing when a play goes off of schedule. Grabinski is comfortable and accurate throwing on the move, when he gets through his progressions efficiently. The arm strength is easy, whether he’s fitting the ball in tight windows underneath or stretching the field. Grabinski is an interesting new prospect in the state, and one to watch in 2026.
