Read EvaluationPaul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Runkle is one of the top passers across San Diego and is a true dual-threat signal caller that can damage with his legs in the open field and on designed runs. He gets the ball out quick with a fast release and shows proper ball placement across the middle of the field with good touch and spin over the top on deep throws. He has a good pocket presence while able to evade pressure and step up to deliver downfield and has good wiggle in the open field with some downfield speed and big play ability on the ground. He is a very smart passer that can move defenders with his eyes and goes through his progressions quickly while throwing his receivers open and is seemingly comfortable outside the hashes and can throw from various arm angles. Accounting for over 30 touchdowns in 2,500 passing yards last year, he is poised for a monster Senior season.

Runkle threw for 179 yards per game with 28 touchdowns and ran for 572 yards with three touchdowns for an El Cajon Christian team that won a CIF championship.
He was a top five performer for the quarterbacks at the Prep Redzone Stock Up Showcase in January and followed it up with a solid showing at the Elite 11 Regional. He’s a very good athlete which doesn’t always show up in a camp setting and the ball comes out of his hand nicely.

Runkle was in the MVP conversation and made some of the better throws of the day.
He did very well in the speed tests and was a top 10 finisher in multiple of the tests. His athleticism doesn’t shine as much in a camp setting like this but his footwork was solid and the ball jumps out of his hand.

His release is always quick, sometimes smooth and he always gets the ball out on time. Runkle is dangerous as a scrambler and can throw on the run.

Read EvaluationZack Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Runkle put his name on the radar with his strong sophomore season after transferring from Granite Hills to Christian. He’s a savvy, athletic passer that can improvise off-schedule and make mobile plays outside the pocket. Slick runner with the ball in his hands that can pick up yards in chunks and is efficient getting the ball out on-time with a tight release. Quick and decisive with his reads in the RPO action and shows good pocket awareness avoiding the rush. Runkle has drawn some interest from D-I programs and could see his first offer come in with another productive season in the fall.
