Here is my recent eval on Kilgore:

“ Jackson Kilgore Jackson Kilgore 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Auburn | 2025 State AL  waited his turn at Auburn HS and has finally fully taken over as the starter as a senior. He has not looked back since and is one of the most efficient and productive QBs in the state. He has a stout, muscular frame. He is an explosive runner, taking advantage of yards available in the short areas. If needed, he could shrug off tacklers in the open field and drop the shoulder to add an extra yard or two. He has plenty of zip on the ball and has a quick release, allowing him to quickly attack tighter windows. He can mix up his arm angle and throw off-platform without sacrificing much arm strength. He plays with outstanding pocket awareness and field vision. There are throws littered all over the tape both over the middle of the field and outside the numbers, and he does it while completing 75% of his passes on the year so far. Kilgore is a good athlete and throws a tight football into all areas of the field. He is a massive sleeper and is a clear D1 prospect. I imagine some of those D1 opportunities will open up as we get closer to signing day.”
