Malachi Lewis
About Malachi
Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
Prior to writing this evaluation I was familiar with Malachi Lewis Malachi Lewis 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Montclair | 2024 FL ‘ season (141 of 227 for 2220 yards 26 TDs, 6 Ints, 74/233/5 on the ground), as the junior was a top signal caller leading the Mounties on a deep playoff run. Now that I have watched his film, I am unsure how many 2025 public school quarterbacks in New Jersey are better than him.
Mobility-wise, Lewis moves in the pocket and is a dual-threat who looks to pass first. He has the savviness in the pocket to set up better throwing angles/windows and moves up in the pocket as the rush comes at him. When forced to, Lewis is an athlete who can scramble for big plays – with his feet or through the air. He keeps his eyes down field when he breaks the pocket and roams in the comfort of open, green grass holding the ball until the last possible moment before he must decide what to do with it. Blessed with prototypical size for the position, he is large enough to absorb contact when running with the ball and possesses the arm strength to hit just about any spot on the field. Moreover – and perhaps most impressively – like a veteran, Lewis puts touch on the ball where few of his throws look the same. Seeking the big play, he loves to stretch the field vertically. With many skillsets and abilities already harnessed, I can only hope to see more of what Lewis is capable of. Colleges will salivate over him should he feature highlights of him running read-option and going through his progression.
