Another exciting dual threat athlete is Zach Rizzo Zach Rizzo 6'4" | 225 lbs | QB St. Joseph Catholic Academy | 2026 State WI . On the ground the 6’4″ 225 lbs athlete is a force to be reckoned with. He can get the edge and up the sideline for big plays. Rizzo will also not hesitate to lower the shoulder and punish defenders with his big frame and power. Zach is one of the more raw passers in this group, but the glimpses of next level excellence are there within that strong arm. As a QB coach gets a few years to mold his mechanics we could see the big man continue his development and end up as one of the best in this Class. Zach currently holds offers from Carthage and UW- Oshkosh.

Similar to the LBs in this Class, QB is another extremely loaded group. One of those top talents is St. Joseph Catholic Academy’s Zach Rizzo Zach Rizzo 6'4" | 225 lbs | QB St. Joseph Catholic Academy | 2026 State WI . The junior has great size and strength packed in the 6’4″ 225 lbs frame. As you can see on the tape, Zach has a high level of arm strength. The kid will barely have his feet set at time while facing pressure in his face and rip it 40 yards downfield to a receiver. Rizzo doesn’t just grip it and rip it every snap, though. He understands when he needs to take some off and use touch to drop it in a bucket to his receiver. The rising junior also has the required accuracy. He does well with where he puts it on his man so they can instantly make a play after the catch while not putting the ball at risk. The All State QB is poised for a big season in 2025.

This camp was also a great opportunity to get some first impressions on athletes that we haven’t seen live until this point. One of the top athletes I couldn’t wait to see was St. Joseph Catholic Academy’s Zach Rizzo Zach Rizzo 6'4" | 225 lbs | QB St. Joseph Catholic Academy | 2026 State WI . By the end of the camp it was clear that he is an athlete with a very high ceiling and a lot of tools to work with and develop to reach that potential. Rizzo has the big, strong frame needed to play at a higher level. He looked every bit of his listed 6’4″ 225 lbs. Zach also possesses the arm strength to match that big frame. He didn’t miss a chance to show off his ability to deliver the ball on a line 10, 20, 30+ yards downfield. The ’26 also looks comfortable getting out on the move while still delivering accurate passes.
What has me so excited is the room for growth and development. When it all comes together from his feet to his hips to his throwing motion, Zach has the arm talent to be up there with the best in this Class. I’m excited to see him continue to fine tune his lower body mechanics because as they become more and more consistent we are going to see a massive jump in his play on the field. This is a kid that coaches are definitely going to want to build a relationship with and keep a close eye on. Zach is a high ceiling recruit.
