is a stout, well-built youngster already up to 6’1 180. He is a commanding force in the pocket and plays with a good base. He has solid footwork, synching his eyes and feet together. He has a long, clunkier throwing motion, but the ball arrives heavy. He has some development to do athletically, but he looks the part of a confident decision-maker who is sharp from the neck up. He has already generated plenty of buzz during his middle school years.

out of Walton is a quarterback I feel like I’ve been hearing about since he was in fifth-grade. Perhaps it’s for good reason, as Degala picked up offers from both Arkansas State and Bethune-Cookman, during a three-day stretch in early February.

Taking the snap at 5’11 and 160 pounds, Degala got the goods. A little similar to

‘s body type and the assumption of just being a pocket presence. I would say not to stereotype this pro style QB so quickly, though. He can move, and has large hands to spin it all over the field. Might not seem important, but you can tell he loves the game of football as well by his approach. Check off the box for smarts too because he maintains a 4.0 and has the football IQ to match. This season will be a big year for Degala as he looks to close the gap on some of the guys perceived to be ranked higher than he is.
