has a real feel for creating when things don’t go as planned. A four-year starter, May plays with the kind of experience that shows up once the play breaks down. He’s comfortable moving around, slipping pressure, even reversing field if he has to, all while keeping his eyes downfield. May doesn’t panic when the first read isn’t there, buying time, and lets the play develop, which puts a lot of stress on defenses. With his athleticism and ability to make something out of nothing, May is a fun player to watch and a constant threat every snap as a runner and passer.

, continues to prove why he is in his junior season. He’s thrown for 850 yards and 10 touchdowns in four games for the Panthers against a tough schedule to date. May has been the starter since his freshman year, and you can see his experience level when watching his tape. Being able to run a spread offense at the small school level is rare, and having a quarterback like May makes it possible.

was nothing short of dominant from the quarterback position for the Panthers in their opening round win over Tolsia. May fired 6 touchdowns passes in the 48-8 victory and threw for over 300 yards as Tug Valley makes a statement in the first round. He’s building on his successful freshman campaign from a year ago and has taken a step forward both developmentally and physically which was his biggest need as a young player. May rounded out our initial 2027 Top 60 rankings during the summer and is showing why he’s highly though of by us again this season.

completes our trio of young Panthers inside of our debut Top 60 rankings and produced a very good freshman season under center. Although his season was cut short due to injury, May was still able to put up some big numbers in his first season at the high school level with 1,100 passing yards and 20 touchdowns to just 3 interceptions. May was a PRZ WV Combine participant this year and rounds out our 2027 Top 60 as the #8 quarterback in the class at this early stage. May will need to continue to grow to significantly raise his ceiling as a prospect but commanded the Tug Valley offense well for a freshman when healthy. An increase in size and strength will benefit his game and durability with an already established floor that is solid for his age. May has a quick release and throws a pretty ball with accuracy and touch highlighted by his 61% completion rate as a freshman. He executed an RPO offense well and is very good in the short and intermediate passing game with potential on deep balls as he gets bigger and stronger. Ball velocity will also increase with added size and strength and will take his game to a new level.
If May is able to keep growing his potential as a prospect will skyrocket with obvious talent already established.

is a quarterback to know in Southern WV. May played in 8 games this season passing for 1,182 yards and 20 touchdowns to just 3 interceptions while completing 61% of his passes. While he has some catching up to do in the size department at 5’9 155, I thought May showed fluid throwing mechanics with a quick release. May has your classic over-the-top delivery on his throws with a high release point. He does a nice job getting the ball out quickly and on time on RPOs. May throws with nice touch and has good ball placement at all three levels. Velocity and arm strength will continue to get better as he grows and gets stronger, but May has shown some good things early on as a freshman.
