Read EvaluationEd OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
Jayden completed 92-of-134 passes for 1,342 yards and 13 touchdowns during the 2024 season. He also rushed 20 times for 233 yards and two touchdowns. He’s an efficient passer with mobility and a strong deep ball. Jayden can extend plays and hit receivers in stride. He’s comfortable with pushing the ball vertically. Jayden’s highlights show him scrambling to extend plays and, in one case, direct receivers mid-play. He was a dangerous runner when needed (11 yards per carry on just 20 carries). Jayden is also good at moving up in the pocket when pressured instead of panicking. He’s good at keeping his eyes downfield and is looking to pass first before running.
I’d like to see him run more. His YPC says he could double his 2024 season output this upcoming season. I would also like to see him work on his progressions.
