About Nicholas
Expert Analysis
Cory Lemer | Prep Redzone Scout
Background: Morales started his career for Archbishop Stepinac in the CHSFL, and has since transferred to Somers in Section One. He has played snaps on JV and Freshman for Somers and Stepinac, and showcases some good traits.
Size: Morales has a solid frame standing at 6’0″ 175-Pounds. He has good height, and is in the middle of the chart. His weight is on the slim side, and he should look to reach 185-195-Pounds to fill out his frame.
Arm Accuracy/Strength: Morales has a cannon for an arm, and might have the strongest in his class. His deep ball can hit up to 50 yards with ease. His accuracy is good as well, as he can put the ball on the money at all three levels. His placement and leading receivers can be Improved but he is a general with the ball.
Footwork/Mechanics: Morales has solid footwork, and understands a three-step drop. He moves around well, and he keeps feet moving to get ready to move or throw. His mechanics are solid as well, and he can launch the ball, with a solid angle. I like his ability to get the ball out quick while under pressure, but he does tend to float the ball allowing defenders to catch up.
IQ: Morales understands a defense, and can stand tall or move around the pocket. He is not afraid of contact, and can deliver the ball with good accuracy through hits. He is not the fastest runner but protects the ball, and can escape for good gains or be used in design runs.
Final Word: Morales is a QB I need to see at the Varsity level. His blend of arm strength makes him a deadly weapon under center. Moving forward he should look to fine tweak his mechanics and footwork and continue working on accuracy. Morales is a QB who can rise as rankings progress.

The Sophomore QB, transferred in from Archbishop Stepinac, and has received solid playing time backing up Tristan Iglesias, for a good Somers Squad. Standing at 5’11” 165-Pounds, he displays a solid build for the QB position.
In his limited film, Morales displayed his big arm. The Somers Sophomore can toss the ball a good 50-yards down the field, and has good accuracy in said throws. He can manage the pocket like a veteran, and stays strong in the pocket while taking hits. He has solid legs, and can run for good gains when needed. A potential dual-threat QB developing in Section 1.
