Having to adjust their entire offensive gameplan with his #1 weapon out, Marcelo Ortiz Marcelo Ortiz 5'10" | 200 lbs | QB/LB Denver West | 2027 State CO rose to the task leading the Cowboys to the victory. The main thing that stood out to me was how smooth his drop back footwork was. West was very aware of the lethal pass rush of Brogan Palmer Brogan Palmer 6'5" | 230 lbs | EDGE/TE Highland | 2026 State CO and Co, and opened the game with a lot of quick game. Ortiz’s 3-step drops were very clean, showing his ability to hit the back of his drop and the ball is out – not needing to reset his feet and take extra steps. A lot of these quick game throws were access throws requiring some pre-snap processing from Ortiz who is only a JR. He was also a big threat with his legs on QB draws and on option plays, making some gutsy runs between the tackles making sure to stay low and limit any free shots to the body. Leading the 3 headed rushing attack of himself and Cowboy RBs Freddy Lucero Freddy Lucero 5'5" | 135 lbs | DB/RB Denver West | 2026 State CO (#3), Abu Hossain (#8, SO), Ortiz drove them up and down the field capping off the day with the game winning TD in OT to Ernest Fields at the back of the endzone leading to Marcelo receiving the game MVP.
