Background: The Section Nine Gunslinger hails from Middletown, and is one of the quickest QB’s in the state. He has seen his ranking increase, and was one of many impressive QB’s at our Winter Showcase.

Size: Standing at 5’10” 170-Pounds, he has a solid frame for a QB. While on the smaller side, he showcases good weight at 170, and should look to reach 175-185-Pounds to help fill out his frame. 

Arm Accuracy/Strength: Royal has work in progress accuracy, and sometimes throws behind receivers. His accuracy across the middle is exceptional at the small and medium levels, and he hits his players chest level with a on the money strike. His strength is good as well, and he can toss it deep or short on any play. 

Footwork/Mechanics: Royal has solid footwork, and showcases a good drop back. Taking snaps from the shotgun mainly limits the drop on tape. He is a bit antsy and can work on setting his feet and stepping into throws. His mechanics are solid, and can vary on throws. He has a good release, and angle with his throws. This is where he should focus his training.

IQ: Royal showcases a good IQ, and understands the defense. He can carve through formations easily, and trusts his receivers. He moves around the pocket well, and never holds onto the ball too long.

Final Word: Royal is an outstanding young QB, with tons of talent. He should look to improve his footwork and mechanics, and with this and his strong arm and good accuracy, I see an outstanding QB.

Royal was a name that caught my eye in Warwick. He is a guy we have as one of our top QB’s in the 2028 Class, and he made a great impression during the showcase. Hailing from Middletown, this showcase was local for him, and he showed out for his hometown. Royal had solid combine numbers, and while he is on the shorter side with his build, he has tons of room to grow. His mechanics could use some work, but his balls had great touch on them, and a good velocity. I liked his accuracy on said throws, and during 1v1 drills he gave his receivers the best chance to make plays.
