Rylan Crooks is another top-notch quarterback in the 2030 class and the most consistent player I have seen all off-season. Crooks has been to multiple events of ours at Prep Redzone / Prep Redzone Next and he has shown up big at each and every one of them. He’s got the athletic ability, arm, precise throwing of the ball, IQ and leadership. Crooks is the entire package, and I can’t wait to see how he performs in New Jersey at the “RIZE”. I can guarantee that Crooks will perform at a high level, he has given no other reason not to since he has shown up as a top player at all our events this off-season.

The things he’s able to do in the pocket, and even rolling out looking for a target, it’s simply special already. He has a fluid throwing motion, velocity with his passes and he’s spot on accurate. He is such a talented 2030 quarterback, and he will have a major day in day two of our National Championships at Lakepoint in Georgia!

He is an excellent thrower of the ball and is a talent that is all-around. He will be a standout this weekend at our Exposure Camp and he’s certainly one to watch for!
