Ankeny (Iowa) four-star quarterback JJ Kohl has signed with Iowa State.

The 6-foot-6.5, 230-pound Kohl is the No. 171 overall prospect and No. 12 quarterback in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 3 player in Iowa.

Kohl has been committed to Iowa State since April 18.

Kohl currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $88K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

JJ Kohl Scouting Summary

Jumbo-sized quarterback who has one of the strongest arms in the 2023 cycle. Measured in close to 6-foot-7 and over 230 pounds with a 10-inch hand in the spring prior to his senior season. Drives the ball to the boundary on far hash throws as well as any top quarterback in the 2023 cycle. Able to generate considerable velocity on his throws. Turned in a good junior season, leading his team to a state title berth while throwing 25 touchdowns against four interceptions. Has good feet and movement skills for a bigger quarterback. Capable of extending plays and picking up first downs with his legs. Shows some creativity as a playmaker.

Stands in the pocket and goes through his progressions. Has a lower carriage point and an over the top throwing motion. Quickened his release from his sophomore to junior seasons. A three-sport athlete who is capable of playing above the rim on the hardwood. Will need to keep his mechanics tight and maintain his foot quickness as a taller, bigger quarterback with longer arms. Turned in strong off-season showings at the Elite 11 and Future 50 prior to his senior season, showing an advanced feel and ability to process relative to some other top quarterbacks on hand.
