looked really, really good in his first year of high school ball — just a well-rounded gamer type who can do a little bit of everything without needing the game to be perfect around him. He’s got enough juice to win deep when it’s there, but what stands out most is the intermediate stuff: he’s comfortable living in that 10–20 yard range, he’ll routinely challenge tight windows, and he shows real trust in his arm instead of playing scared. He can run enough to keep defenses honest too — not necessarily the “build your offense around it” type, but the kind that punishes bad angles and buys time when protection breaks down. With more experience, more strength, and more reps seeing unique coverages, there’s a lot here that says his best football is still way out in front of him.

Led the 2029 class with 1,216 yards and 15 touchdowns in just seven games, highlighted by his performance against Marcos De Niza when he threw for 344 yards and 5 touchdowns. Shows good composure for a freshmen that doesn’t panic with pressure and is able to create on broken plays. When protection breaks down, he shows he can extend the play with his legs to escape while keeping his eyes downfield for an open target or to tuck it and run. As a passer, he throws a catchable ball with good touch to throw downfield and float it over defenders. Functional athlete that can make defenders miss as a ball carrier to be a multi-dimensional threat.

- After watching him throw the ball in warmups, I was very surprised to hear that he didn’t play Quarterback full time. Everything checked on from footwork, to arm strength, to throwing motion and everything in between.
- He was throwing the ball when I watched them warm up due to the windy conditions at AYF Nationals, but he’s naturally a Wide Receiver–and that was evident too. Has the Wide Receiver build you want–long, lean and a vertical advantage when looking at his ability to jump.
- Defensively he was lined up at Safety. Again, with his height and length, he’s an ideal body type for that Free Safety position and the ability to play Centerfield. Should be noted that his vision stood out to me, likely due to him being able to see the field through the eyes of several different positions.
