is one of those guys where you’re watching freshman tape and thinking, “Yeah… how long are they really going to keep him off varsity?” He plays like he’s already comfortable with the spotlight — calm feet, clean posture, and upper-half mechanics that look incredibly polished. The ball comes out smooth and he can put real power on it when he has to, but where he really starts stacking wins is the intermediate area and over the middle — deadly accurate, decisive, and not afraid to fire through a tight window to his guy. That’s also the area he’s going to have to keep attacking as he moves up levels, and everything about his play says he’ll lean into it instead of avoiding it. There’s honestly not much about his game that makes you flinch, and the crazy part is he’s got three more years to add strength, reps, and command. He’s the type of QB you circle now because the “good” already looks obvious, and the “great” feels like it’s sitting right there if he keeps at it with the boring daily work.

doesn’t play like an incoming freshman. He’s got a calmness to his game that you just don’t see at this level — like he’s always in control, no matter what the defense throws at him. His poise in the pocket is legit, especially for someone so young. He doesn’t rush throws or panic under pressure. Instead, he stays composed, goes through his reads, and delivers with a clean, smooth release. One thing that really stands out is how well he throws with anticipation. He’s not waiting for guys to get open — he’s throwing them open. That’s advanced stuff for a 2029 QB. And while his eye level does change a bit through his delivery, it doesn’t seem to throw off his mechanics. The ball comes out on time and on target, without that rise affecting the throw. If he keeps developing like this, Jason could end up being one of the most polished quarterbacks in the state.

- Wrapped up his pre-high school ball in 2024 with Future U and put an exclamation point on a youth career full of All-Star selections and big seasons.
- Served as QB1 on the Phoenix AYF 14U Conference All-Stars. The PHX 14U All-Stars ran roughshod through the the bracket at AYF Nationals, outscoring their opponents 77-6 with two shutout victories. Highlighted by a 33-0 blanking of the defending champion Jersey Shore AYF, in the opening game of the tournament.
- Widely thought of as one of, if not the, top 2029 Quarterback in the state of Arizona. Physically looks the part in terms of size/stature and has special command over a very strong right arm. He was named the Phoenix AYF 14U Conference All-Stars’ Overall Team MVP.

Reclassed Quarterback who lists himself nearly four inches and 25 pounds heavier than a year ago. Served as QB1 on the AYF Phoenix 14U All-Stars in December 2024, one year after being part of a QB by committee on last year’s 14U All-Star team. It’s difficult to tell how accurate his reported measurements truly are, but he is noticeably bigger and more his overall game has come leaps and bounds since last season. Multiple sources I’ve spoken to in the greater Phoenix area, think he’s the best Quarterback in the state for the class of 2029.
