Posted a short but concise sophomore tape on Hudl over a month ago. Said tape is a minute shorter than his freshman tape from over a year ago. 1,400 yards on the year, 11 scores for a modest yet successful sophomore campaign out of Cardinal O’Hara’s John Welde John Welde 6'0" | 170 lbs | QB Cardinal O'Hara | 2026 PA . Looks to have filled out really well, putting on two inches and over 25 pounds year over end, this coming since the last time we evaluated him. Operates out of an offense that likes to utilize tempo to its advantage, an offense that often deploys five-wide sets that allow Welde to work intricate passing concepts. Testament to his acumen at the position. Makes the most “wow” throws so far out of this group. Great placer of the football, can put balls where only his man can make a play on it. Advanced depth perception, the kid can flat-out drop moon shots out of the sky and into a bucket. Flashes the best arm talent of any 2026 QB I’ve covered thus far. Climbs the pocket post-dropback well, keeps his eyes downfield when doing so. Decisive, works out of a ton of 10/11 personnel, Welde gets the snap and distributes with a purpose. Wish there was a bit more production to work with, impressed with the two minutes displayed though. Accuracy is calling card, can deliver strikes at all three levels of the field.
