Mechanically, he’s already really polished — his footwork is crisp and his throwing motion flows smoothly from the ground up. He’s got enough arm to hit all the throws, but it’s the way he changes up speeds and puts touch on the deep ball that really stands out. Whether he’s zipping it over the middle or dropping one into the bucket downfield, he does it all with a calm, balanced presence. There’s still room to grow physically, but that could unlock even more from an already promising skill set.

Valentine Antillon Valentine Antillon 5'10" | 175 lbs | QB Mountain Pointe | 2028 State AZ Jr. showed glimpses of what could become a really complete quarterback skill set. While he’s not the biggest or flashiest athlete on the field, he’s got a sturdy build and enough agility to move the pocket and extend plays when needed. You can tell there’s a foundation of arm strength — he dropped in a few throws with really nice touch down the field that made you take notice. One of the biggest things that stood out was his understanding of where he wanted to go with the ball. The intent was always there, and when he connected, it looked smooth and on time. The next step in his development is getting that level of placement on a more consistent basis. There were moments where the ball sailed a bit or missed outside, but he’s clearly trending in the right direction. As a 2028, there’s still a lot of physical and technical development ahead, but there was certainly enough to be excited about. If he ends up hitting a growth spurt and continues to refine that timing and accuracy, he could take a major leap. For now, he’s already showing he belongs — and the upside is definitely there.

Valentine is one of those young quarterbacks who already passes the eye test. As a freshman starter last year at Buckeye, he showed a level of poise and comfort in the pocket that you rarely see from players that age. Now at Mountain Pointe, he’s stepping into a new environment with higher expectations — and a more crowded QB room. There’s plenty to like about his game. He’s calm under pressure, gets the ball out with good velocity, and his ball placement on film is solid. He’s still growing into his frame and refining his mechanics — especially that back shoulder dip he sometimes uses to try and generate more power — but that’s a common trait for younger QBs still learning how to fully engage their lower half. What I’ll be watching for at the combine is how well he adjusts to new receivers and how clean his mechanics look rep after rep. His rhythm and timing are going to get tested in this fast-paced setting. Valentine has the physical tools and early experience — now it’s about continuing to sharpen everything around that and showing he’s ready to take another step forward.
