Ottumwa turned the reins of its offense over to Dalbey in 2025. While the unit experienced growing pains, he and his teammates flashed potential for a noticeable step forward this coming fall. The sophomore threw for a pair of touchdowns and ran for two more last year. According to Bound, he took all of the team’s reps behind center. Dalbey hadn’t yet put together a 10th-grade highlight video at the time of writing this evaluation, but his Hudl page housed clips from scoring plays and a pair of completions. During a 63-yard TD run, Dalbey displays burst and top-end speed along with deception in carrying out the option. The throwing clips don’t reveal a lot about the left-hander, but we see poise and an ability to throw accurately on the move.
