Rios was strong on all three days and is comfortable in any setting you put him in. In 7-on-7, he can throw through traffic or layer the defense going over the top. He will commit to either UCLA or Arizona next week.

Rios stood out at the Elite 11 regional and while he blended in with the crowd at times Tuesday, he was consistently sharp in all the drills. He was consistently getting the ball out on time and had great touch on deeper throws near the sidelines.

Rios has one of the best arms in the class and was a strong candidate for MVP on Sunday just like he was at the Elite 11 Regional. His accuracy was off the charts during the one-on-one period and all his movements are smooth.

Rios threw for 2554 yards with 22 touchdowns and just six interceptions last season for Downey and ran for 735 yards with 11 touchdowns.
He was recently widely regarded as the MVP of the Elite 11 Regional in LA. His arm strength was on display and he was the most accurate quarterback I saw at the event.
Rios was committed to Purdue but withdrew his commitment when offensive coordinator Graham Harrell was fired. He recently was offered by UCLA and is visiting Kentucky this weekend.
