On3 DB / Tavien St. Clair

As a College Recruit

Smooth passer with prototypical physical tools that point to one of the higher developmental upsides among quarterbacks in the 2025 cycle. Measured in at 6-foot-3.75, 225 pounds with a 9.5-inch hand at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Added 15 pounds during his junior year. Looks like the most physically-developed top quarterback in the 2025 cycle. Has smooth and tight mechanics as a passer. Touts an easily replicable release. Consistently throws a tight spiral. Mechanical foundation makes him a naturally accurate passer when his timing is right. Has a good arm and does not have to strain to generate ample velocity on his passes. A standout in the camp setting. Had a productive junior season, completing 70.6% of his passes for 3,083 yards (9.34 yards per attempt) and 37 touchdowns against 6 interceptions. Doubles as a solid runner who can pick up yards with his legs when called upon. Showed improvement with his on-field athleticism as a senior. Functional mobility gives him the ability to extend plays. Background as a three-sport athlete, also playing basketball and baseball before turning his focus on football. Shows above-the-rim bounce on the hardwood. Needs to continue honing his processing and decision-making. Internal clock can move fast at times and looks most comfortable throwing in the drill and on-air setting in live exposures to this point. Can let his throws hang at times when the game is moving fast. Does not face top competition at the high school level. Improvement with his timing will put him in a position to be one of the top prospects in the cycle due to his significant physical upside and skilled passing ability.

Tavien St. Clair's physical traits and play style reminds us of Blaine Gabbert at the same stage. Gabbert was a bit bigger at the same stage. Both were big, athletic prospects who excelled in the camp setting. St. Clair was more productive while playing a lower level of competition in high school.

Tavien St. Clair a Top Performer at Elite 11 Finals

Charles Power

At 6-foot-4, 225 pounds with a live arm and strong mechanics, Tavien St. Clair showed translatable skills at the Elite 11 Finals. The Ohio State pledge was among the best on hand during the first two days. He was highly accurate throwing routes on air on Tuesday and backed that up by running away with the accuracy competition on Wednesday. His play dipped a bit during 7-on-7 on Thursday, as he was on target on 11 of 19 passes for two touchdowns. St. Clair isn’t quite as experienced as most others in 7-on-7. With that said, the Bellefontaine (Ohio) High standout still turned in an overall impressive showing and looks to be among the better quarterback prospects in the cycle heading into his senior season.
