Expert Analysis
Andy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Kepa should hit his groove as he’ll have a full complement of weapons. He’s missed time and missed having his full pantry of receivers this season. He is a dual threat signal caller who does well getting to his second looks and taking deep shots. His duality at the position will be handy as he can make plays and move the chains. If Corner Canyon decides to call some blitz packages, he can elude and evade and can buy additional time for his receivers. It’s a big time game, and he’s a big time player.

Kepa made his seasonal debut against Timpview, and he came out on fire, accounting for four total touchdowns. He’s made great strides this offseason and is a complete passer. His processing rate has quickened, and he does a good job of delivering the ball on time and allowing his receivers to create after the catch. He has good velocity on the ball and as region play kicks off shortly, it’ll be fun to see what he does the rest of the season.

Kepa has a great frame and stands tall in the pocket. He can add 10 lbs which would not hinder his elusiveness. Kepa is a dual-threat Quarterback who processes defenses well. He gets to his second read and is quick to decipher if he needs to pull the trigger or look to scramble to create additional passing lanes or move the chains with his legs. Kepa’s delivery is compact and quick, which leads to him getting the ball out on time. He is a magician in the pocket and has great pocket navigation and manipulation. Because he resets his trajectory, it makes it difficult for a pass rush to get to him and because he extends plays, cornerbacks have to hold up longer and eventually tire out and he can find a big play. Kepa also does a good job of playing with tempo and timing and when he gets into a rhythm and flow, he’s humming along, this duality in play makes it difficult for defenses in the second half as they are worn out. He does an excellent job of keeping his head up while scrambling, the game slows down for him and he can process his next moves. As a pure thrower, he knows when to take something off and when to zip it in, he also has great awareness of the defense and will throw a back shoulder when needed, and place the ball to where his receivers can come down with it and to protect his receivers from a crushing hit. Kepa does an excellent job of throwing his receivers open and leading them. As a runner, he is elusive, and shifty, and brings physicality to that department. He will look to pick up additional yards rather than running out of bounds and his frame lends him to absorb that contact. Kepa is an exceptional power runner in the mold of Jalen Hurts. Overall he is one of the best dual-threat Quarterbacks in the state, with an exceptional ceiling.
