Expert Analysis
Hunter Tierney | Prep Redzone Scout
After splitting time last year, Mencl’s been given the reins and boy, has it been impressive to watch. He’s quietly putting together one of the cleanest years in the state — completing a whopping 73% of his passes for 2,267 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just two interceptions. That kind of efficiency, paired with an average of 324 yards a game and more than 20 completions a night, tells you all you need to know about how comfortable he’s gotten in this offense. He’s got a repeatable base and a compact release, but he certainly doesn’t lack any arm talent. He can make throws from multiple different arm angles, is still able to put good juice on the ball even without his feet set, and does a really nice job of driving on the ball when he needs to fit it in a tight space. He’s one of just four players statewide with multiple games topping 250 yards, two or more touchdowns, and a completion rate north of 70%. You see that same calm control in how he works the middle of the field — balanced, deliberate, never drifting. When he does pull it down, he’s efficient — enough wheels to make a defense pay for playing man one too many times. In a season where the noise has been everywhere else around the state, he’s been business as usual for Chandler: efficient drives, chain‑moving third downs, and enough explosives to flip games early.

Breakout campaign for the highly touted sophomore, who’s quickly cementing himself as one of the premier quarterbacks in the 2027 class. Leading the 6A division with 2,003 passing yards and 19 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions, he’s operating at an elite level with a 73% completion rate on 186 attempts. Polished, poised, and productive—he’s already pulled in 14 Division I offers and continues to draw heavy interest across the western region.

I really like Mencl as the 6A breakout player of the year candidate. He holds the QB1 role with an new HC in Ty Wisdom, where I think Mencl is prone to put up big numbers in a new system along with his natural skillset. Really good pocket mechanics and movement and can climb, slide, or escape without sacrificing his eyes downfield. I really like his ability to throw with anticipation and timing, as he did a terrific job at all three levels of throws doing so last year. A mechanically sound QB with loads of potential and high ceiling moving forward.

After rotating last season, Will Mencl Will Mencl 6'4" | 200 lbs | QB Chandler | 2027 State AZ looks like a guy who’s ready to take the keys full-time. He’s got that sturdy frame college coaches love, and when he needs to rip it, there’s definitely some juice behind the throw. But more importantly, he looked calm and steady all night. He didn’t force anything, didn’t get flustered — just played within himself and let the game come to him. What really stood out was his delivery. It’s a bit exaggerated and super over-the-top, but in a good way — it gives him a clear release point, and with his height, there’s zero worry about balls getting batted down at the line. Everything came out clean, and you could see the chemistry starting to build with his weapons. He’s in a great spot to have a big year if he keeps stacking good reps like this. Definitely a name to keep an eye on as he gets more and more comfortable running the show.
