Excellent wiggle and body control with the ball in his hands. A loose, fluid athlete who runs with body lean.Throws with a narrow base, which should be one of the simpler fixes for collegiate coaches. High ceiling player whose ball ballistics and overall athleticism translate to the next level. Missed much of his junior season with a broken wrist. Seeing a spike in his play and development as a senior. Shows reactive quickness against the pass rush and in making off-schedule plays. The youngest top quarterback in the 2023 cycle, with a September birthday. Did not turn 17 until a month into his senior season and is well over a year younger than many of his blue-chip peers.
