If no one’s open, he’ll use his very good scramble ability to get the first down. Very good throw on the run and off-platform throws. He’s an exciting prospect that should garner more looks from colleges going forward.

Read EvaluationRobert Davis | Prep Redzone Scout
Weeks was a player that was able to turn some heads during drill work. He was able to show good foot work throughout and had a fast release, being able to get the ball out quickly when he got to the top of his drop. He was able to show good zip on passes when he was rolling out and getting his hips through. During one on ones he was able to show nice touch on intermediate passes being able to fit it into tight windows.

Read EvaluationAlan Popadines | Prep Redzone Scout
Weeks Jr. is a quarterback that I personally think, is going to really surprise some people when it’s all said and done when it comes to the position in this 2028 class. He lists himself at 6-foot and 145 pounds, which is a decent size for a quarterback at this point. Where Weeks Jr. differentiates himself a bit from the other quarterbacks, is his athletic ability. He is pretty fleet of foot and looks very comfortable throwing on the run or up flirting with the line of scrimmage when scrambling. His legs aren’t the only weapon, either. While he doesn’t have the staggering arm strength of Rubley or Lee, he can throw a very nice ball if his feet are set and he has the time.
