emerged as a true dual-threat quarterback, impacting games with both his arm and his legs. In the passing game, Drakeford consistently attacked defenses down the seams, showing a strong feel for route timing and the ability to layer throws over defenders’ heads for explosive gains. He demonstrated poise and vision when working the middle of the field, punishing coverage lapses with well-placed passes.
As a runner, Drakeford was equally effective on designed quarterback runs, displaying patience behind his blocks before accelerating through creases and gashing defenses for chunk yardage. His ability to manage the run game added another dimension to Quince Orchard’s offense and kept defenses off balance throughout the season.
Drakeford finished the year with over 1,000 passing yards and capped his breakout campaign by leading Quince Orchard to a Maryland state championship. With a winning pedigree and a skill set that translates to the next level, he is a quarterback prospect college programs should be taking a close look at as his recruitment continues to develop.
