Matt Zollers Scouting Summary
7/15/24Live-armed quarterback with the physical tools, athleticism and instincts to make him the top reactive playmaker at the position in 2025 entering the senior season. Measured in at 6-foot-3.5, 203 pounds with 9 ⅞-inch hands at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Was a relative late riser onto the national recruiting scene, by way of a breakout junior campaign. A highly instinctive playmaker, capable of hurting defenses with his arm and legs. Touts a very live arm. Capable of ripping throws to the boundary with velocity. Threw passes well over 60 yards in-air as a junior. Has the arm strength to stretch the field with ease. A bouncy, twitchy athlete who thrives in the face of pressure. Able to evade pass rushers and keep his eyes downfield. Shows strong spatial awareness in locating open receivers with defenders in his face. A tough player who plays through contact in the pocket. Tests as a top athlete in the combine setting and transfers that speed onto the field where he presents a run threat as an improviser and on designed runs. Was efficient and productive as a junior, passing for 2,917 yards (10.1 yards per attempt) and 37 touchdowns against two picks. Also rushed for 420 yards and 7 touchdowns. Also plays basketball as a key contributor on a team that made a deep playoff run. Had a bumpy start to his senior season before sustaining a season-ending dislocated ankle. Will need to continue adding consistency with his mechanics and overall polish as he matriculates to the college level. Has a longer backstroke to his throwing motion. The combination of high-end tools and instinctive play style give him one of the higher ceilings among 2025 quarterbacks.
