Retamoza first landed on my radar as an eighth grader and has continued to improve and develop showing he’s a D1 caliber QB. 6’2” 210 lbs. he’s got a good frame with plus length and a dual threat skillset. Smooth with his mechanics and footwork in the pocket, he shows good rhythm and balance from his drop back to his delivery. Ball jumps out of his hand with velocity and knows when to mix up speeds based on the route and defenders movement. Strong ball placement skills, he able to anticipate and put it in a spot where only his target can make a play. Flashes good timing and ability to layer the ball over second level defenders. Feels and avoids pressure with confidence showing he can move the pocket and create second chance throwing windows. Plus athleticism and speed to be effective as a runner. Runs hard on both designed carries and on broken plays. Earned his first offer from Portland State and will see more programs come through as the cycle progresses.

Impressive physical skillset and dual-threat ability with great upside as he develops. 6’2” 200 lbs. he’s a natural passer with a live arm to push the ball vertically or throw it on a line. Smooth arm action with an over the top release using good rotation in his hips and shoulders to generate velocity. He’s efficient with his footwork in his drop back and as he maneuvers in the pocket maintaining good ball placement to allow for a quick delivery. Like his demeanor and ability to stand in the pocket with an oncoming rush and take a hit it without sacrificing his accuracy. A savvy athlete that is a legit threat as a runner, can pull it down and get to space on a broken play or effectively run the read option getting downhill with speed and strength. His recruitment could pop at any time.
