Evaluation: A dynamic dual-threat quarterback who displays top-notch athleticism for a quarterback. As a leader, Bourque needs to firm up his command in the huddle to elevate his entire offense. Bourque’s mobility in the pocket is top-notch, thanks to his impressive footwork, which lets him climb the pocket with level-headed poise and take off and run when necessary. Bourque does a superb job of keeping his eyes downfield, though he needs to make better decisions with the ball in his hands. His accomplished throwing mechanics don’t go unnoticed, as he gets the ball out quickly with nice zip and a tight spiral, while maintaining pinpoint accuracy on short, intermediate, and deep passes.

Bourque was strong on all three days and won the pro day portion of day two. He had one of the more impressive frames of the group and can rip the ball down the field. Bourque is a great in-rhythm thrower who can change speeds and arm angles.

Bourque won the Pro Day portion of the day on night two and had a strong performance on Sunday. The Virginia Tech commit completed 20 of 24 passes for seven touchdowns with one interception.

Bourque had one of the best pro day workouts I have seen at the Elite 11 finals. He was ripping the ball down the field and is great in rhythm. Bourque had great velocity on the shorter throws and was accurate on the deep ones.

He scored a 48 which was tied for the best of the day and won a showdown at the end to win the Pro Day portion.

Bourque had really good velocity on intermediate throws and had good ball placement near the sidelines. He really caught my eye early in the day making excellent throws to the stationary receivers. Bourque has a wide base with his feet in the pocket and looked comfortable moving in the pocket.

One QB stood out from the rest, and that QB earned him self an invitation to the Elite 11 Finals. The top QB in the New England Region, Bourque was all around impressive on the day, showcasing a strong arm paired with good accuracy on his throws. His mechanics and footwork were deemed ready for an Elite 11 Finalist, and his frame at 6’4″ 205-Pounds, is exceptional for a QB, and next level ready. Bourque will head to LA for the finals, and was the ninth QB invited.

Bourque was named an Elite 11 Finalist, and he marked the only name of this showcase to be invited. The Tabor Academy Prospect, stands at 6’4″ 205-Pounds, displaying an exceptional build for a prospect. The D1 Talent threw an accurate ball, while displaying perfect mechanics. His footwork on the comeback rollout plays was outstanding, and throughout the day, he put the ball in the perfect position for his Wide Receivers.
