I recently broke down Peter Sherman Peter Sherman 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Emmaus | 2026 State PA ‘s V/JV tape, he’s ranked a bit lower as it’s tough to create a real eval off of junior varsity film. Sherman provides some quality reps, he looks the part. Jerek Cooper Jerek Cooper 6'2" | 195 lbs | ATH Emmaus | 2026 State PA , another Emmaus QB prospect, has also caught my eye. I’m totally out of the loop when it comes to future intentions, I see the tape and I rank accordingly. I am aware that Cooper started three games for Emmaus last Fall, that alone bumps him ahead of Sherman at the moment. Over 500+ scrimmage yards accumulated throughout said three starts, Cooper provides duality to an offense that values athleticism. Build is acceptable when projecting to next level. Muscular and toned up, carries a wideout/DB build. Operates out of the traditional Emmaus offense, ton of shotgun work with twins/trips set out, often with a back in the backfield. First thing that caught my eye wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Cooper’s feet during his dropback are a bit off-putting.  A ton of skipping/hopping, happy feet, and inconsistencies can be seen through three-step drops from Gun. Cooper still nearly broke the Top 30 in a historically talented QB class despite this, as well as only starting three games. Everything else moving forward on tape has me thinking a star could be developing behind center for Emmaus. Cooper might be new to the position, which would explain any awkward movement issues, he is still a sophomore I might add. Cooper starts his tape off with a rope to a post against an open middle of the field. I stress that his footwork needs tuning during a dropback, it looks good in terms of setting his base, marrying his eyes with his feet. Love the reps where he works a mesh with his back, pulls, and delivers a strike on a slant. Some QBs with more experience are unwilling to deliver balls into tight windows like this. Accurate and on time when asked to throw on the run. Is a real threat to tuck on meshes and gash a defense for first downs and more. Is a clear candidate to move into the Top 20 next update. Has some wideout reps on same tape. Rest of his tape shows off his capabilities as an OLB, tough to not love this kid on both sides of the ball. Very likely to be designated as an “ATH” moving forward.
