Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
If I were choosing one breakout prospect from the Back 2 Ballin High 2026 during April in the UNI-Dome, it would be Stupp. I watched the Level Up 15U Select quarterback compete throughout the weekend. Each time he added to my belief that the future is bright. Stupp oozes potential from a projectable frame with current skills advanced beyond his years and room for much more growth. The Gilbert freshman is every bit the 6-foot-1 at which he lists himself. Long arms help him play taller than that. Stupp stands out for his ball placement on tosses to all levels. A strong feel for the right spin on a given throw also aids in making plays successful. When needed, Stupp can gun the rock through tight windows. He surveys the field well and doesn’t get stuck on receivers, instead moving efficiently through his progressions. The Tigers threw for only 499 yards in reaching the Class 4A quarterfinals in 2025. Stupp’s emergence in the fall could give them more balance and opportunity to advance farther in the postseason. After watching him in Cedar Falls, that’s a bet I’d make.
