Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
If a team was built, on both sides of the ball, around one player, it would the the Hilltoppers’ Matt McKeever Matt McKeever 6'0" | 155 lbs | LB Summit | 2027 State NJ . Yes, he does play quarterback in a run-centric offense, but he is also an outstanding linebacker – which is where I suspect his collegiate prospects as a football player are. McKeever has good closing speed, thus making him hard to beat to the sideline. As a tackler, he wraps and pumps his feet very well. In coverage we see him eye, and respond, to the quarterback as they open up their shoulders or move. That said, McKeever is patient until the opposing quarterback tips where he is going, he will get to his drop and settle. Offensively, I really like McKeever’s approach as a run-focused quarterback. McKeever is willing to lower his shoulder in short yardage to get what the team needs to succeed, while also being willing to absorb – and successfully withstand – a shot while keep going. When he is called to drop back and pass and under duress, McKeever keeps his eyes downfield, specifically at the sticks, to put his team in position to continue their drive.
