Lathan Boone Lathan Boone 6'1" | 175 lbs | QB Booker T. Washington | 2023 State OK had some good flashes against a great defense. He showed off good power behind his throws, with the ball instantly getting to his receivers. There were several times throughout the game that he placed the ball right into the receiver’s pocket. One thing that helps him do that is that he has a nice quick release, so he is rarely phased by defensive pressure when the defense is a tad late. On one play, he threw an interception, but showed the ability to come up with a tackle. On one play that impressed me is when he knew he was about to get hammered, but stuck in the pocket to throw a bullet down the field for a massive gain, while drawing the roughing the passer call. Lastly, he showed the ability to scramble and to throw on the run. He has enough elusiveness to help him avoid a couple of tackles, while having the ability to buy time and deliver a perfectly placed pass.
