About Jake
Expert Analysis
Andy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Jake has added on great size to his frame and should get to 6’5-6’6 and with his frame, should get to about 210 lbs. He’s an effortless thrower with exceptional mechanics. The ball jumps out of his hands and he shows pinpoint accuracy. Jake makes every throw you want to see and can dot the field with ease. He’s a quick processor and gets to his second and third reads with ease. An under rated aspect to his game is his athleticism. He moves well, shows good lateral quickness and runs a 4.64 at the Under Armour camp this past spring. That mobility translates to the field as he does a good job of escaping pressure and biding additional time. He’s a signal caller who can run any kind of offense and is an elite prospect who has all the traits to be the best signal caller in the nation for the 2029 class.

Jake came in and took command. He did an exceptional job on his reads and being a quick processor. He took what the defense gave him and took shots when needed. He kept the opposing defense on their heels for the majority of the night. He didn’t take all of the snaps during fall camp and the game still was slow for him. He should be the unquestioned QB1 going forward. He’s simply the best Quarterback in the state for the 2029 class and for American Fork. He’s a true Power Four starter and will continue to see a flood of offers come his way. His time is now.

Read EvaluationAndy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Jake looked phenomenal in his debut. It was an effortless performance. He got to his second read with ease and showed off his fantastic arm talent. He layered his throws, took some velocity off when needed and led his receivers open on his throws. He threw for four touchdowns and it could have been more, but the game was out of reach. Jake is an elite talent and will be a national recruit and be widely coveted. His frame, pocket mobility and arm talent reminds me of Josh Allen.

Matsen is elite, and I would not be surprised if he started games at the varsity level. He’s ready for it today. He will be a national recruit and will be a top-five quarterback nationally in recruiting and be widely coveted. He is a tremendous talent and will be a prime-time player. He is our pick for Region 3 Newcomer of the Year.

Matsen is simply elite. He will be the next great signal caller in this state. He possesses great size, has a good frame that he needs to continue to fill out, but his arm talent is exceptional; he makes every throw you could ask for. He has good velocity, knows when to take something off of it, throws his receivers open, has great ball placement, and layers his throws. He’ll likely start on Thursday, but he should be dressing on Friday nights, and if the offense struggles and they need a spark, Matsen is the guy. He will be a multi-year Power-Four starter and be a national recruit and a future blue-chipper. Get to know the name.
