As a College Recruit
Quarterback with translatable tools and the best feet among top signal callers in the 2023 cycle. Has ideal size at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds. Consistently shows twitchy, explosive movements in his lower body. Plays with outstanding feet and has some of, if not the best pocket movement and awareness of top quarterbacks in the 2023 cycle. A loose, athletic mover. Comfortable stepping up into the pocket or moving outside to escape pressure. Shows a strong arm in game and camp settings. Primarily delivers from the same arm slot on most passes. Was among the more efficient passers among top 2023 quarterbacks as a junior, though he did not have quite the number of attempts as many others. Has the burst and top-end play speed to present a considerable run threat, rushing for 15 touchdowns as a junior. Shows the speed to pull away against one of the faster high school teams in the Southeast. Plays against some of the stronger competition among top quarterbacks nationally. Still relatively new to the position after starting to play quarterback as a 9th grader. Also significantly younger than many other top quarterbacks with an April birthday.
Reminds Us Of
Christopher Vizzina's frame, on-field athleticism and passing ability remind us of Mitchell Trubisky at the same stage. Both showed the ability to stress defenses as a passer and rush threat at the high school level. Trubisky was more productive at the high school level.
