Jayden Guzman Jayden Guzman 5'10" | 175 lbs | QB Frederick Douglass | 2029 State KY is coming off an impressive freshman season as starting QB for Frederick Douglass. He finished last season completing 106-189 (56.1%) of his passing attempts for 1,228 yards, 14 touchdowns, and four interceptions. Guzman has a ton of poise in the pocket for his age and can navigate through pressure while keeping his eyes downfield for an open receiver. He has really fast feet and a quick release with the football. Guzman is also patient in the pocket and waits for his receivers to break/release before leading them to an open spot downfield. He currently holds one Division I offer, but I expect that list to grow by this time next year.

Guzman is a talented young quarterback who looks comfortable and confident in the pocket. He does a good job setting his feet and getting the ball out quickly instead of holding onto it too long. He’s got good ball placement, especially on throws over the middle where he can hit guys in stride and give them a chance to create after the catch. He seems to know where he wants to go with the football and gets it there on time. I like where his game is at heading into the season, and he looks ready to put together a big year.
