- Baseball prospect at Gateway. 5’10, 165 pounds. 1,200 passing yards, 13 passing scores, 2 rushing with 100+ rushing yards to boot.
- Mayson’s film makes it clear, there’s far more here than meets the eye. He’s a bit unassuming at first glance, small stature, but once the tape rolls, the arm talent and confidence immediately jump off the screen. Shows a live arm with the ability to drive next-level hole shots into tight windows, the kind of throws most freshmen wouldn’t even attempt, let alone complete.
Comfortable operating out of a spread look but also shows adaptability, as seen on a zone-read mesh near the red zone where he tucked it and ran for a score himself. Displays poise and creativity when the play breaks down, showing maturity beyond his years.
Rare to see a young quarterback with this blend of downfield vision, arm strength, range, and overall feel for the field. Mechanics are still developing, there’s some exaggeration in his hitches and wind-up, but that’s expected at this stage. You can see some lower-body compensation due to his current height, but again, that’s a non-issue for his age and frame. At times throws off the balls of his feet, yet still generates plenty of velocity.
A young quarterback with natural ability, visible confidence, and clear developmental upside, one who could turn heads quickly as he matures and tightens up his mechanics.
