All-American Bowl: Ranking the quarterbacks through two days

The first two days of All-American Bowl practices are in the books. Many of the nation’s top signed and unsigned prospects have gathered in San Antonio ahead of the 2024 All-American Bowl, set to be played on January 6 at the Alamodome. Event organizers have split up numerous high school all-stars into two teams: East and West.

Six Power Five quarterback signees are on hand in San Antonio. After taking in both days of practice, On3 ranks how the signal callers have performed thus far.

1. Trey Owens – Texas

Trey Owens has spun the ball the most consistently out of the quarterbacks through the first two days of practice at the All-American Bowl. On Tuesday’s practice at Trinity University, he battled through cold and rainy conditions, spinning it the best of the three West quarterbacks. Owens moved the chains consistently and delivered the most completions during hard rainfall. Even with a soaking wet ball, he was able to find receivers and push the ball downfield comfortably. He compounded that with a solid performance during Wednesday’s practice. This included several splash plays including a touchdown pass to Georgia signee Nate Frazier down the seam during the team period. Owens was the most aggressive downfield passer of the group during the two-a-day practice on Wednesday. – National Scout Cody Bellaire

2. Walker White – Auburn

Walker White put together a solid performance during Wednesday’s practice, especially after a rain-soaked Tuesday afternoon. The Auburn signee was much more comfortable playing inside the confines of the Alamodome. He led a touchdown drive during the joint practice and was able to create for himself using his legs, showing off his athleticism. At 6-foot-3.5, 225 pounds with physical tools, he has a case as the most translatable football player in the group. White built like a prototypical quarterback with such a great frame and looks ready to go from a physical standpoint. – Cody Bellaire and Charles Power

3. Demond Williams Jr. – Arizona

Demond Williams Jr. was the top quarterback for the East squad during both days. At 5-foot-9, 175 pounds, there’s no doubt Williams is undersized at the position. With that said, he showed good accuracy to all levels. Williams has spun the ball well, throwing a well-placed, catchable ball. That jives with what we’ve seen on Friday nights, as Williams completed 76.8% of his passes as a senior. He flashed his notable scrambling ability during the joint practice, keeping his eyes downfield while avoiding the pass rush and finding receivers open downfield. – Charles Power

4. Hauss Hejny – TCU

Hauss Hejny has had a handful of flashes over the course of two days, both as a passer and runner. The 5-foot-11, 185-pounder is at his best when he can use his legs. Hejny has elite track speed at the position and it showed on Wednesday, when he used his burst to pick up yards on the ground via designed runs. As a passer, he’s been most efficient in the short and intermediate game during the competitive periods. – Charles Power

5. Marcos Davila – Purdue

Marcos Davila has flashed the strongest arm among East quarterbacks through two days of practice. The 6-foot-2.5, 235-pounder has a big arm and has shown his ability to drive the ball downfield. Davila’s accuracy and ball location was a bit sporadic on Day 1, but he picked things up on Day 2 and got hot towards the end of the joint practice. The Purdue signee is at his best when kept clean and allowed to rip throws downfield. – Charles Power

6. Jeremy Hecklinski – Wake Forest

Jeremy Hecklinski was accurate on Tuesday, throwing with good touch throughout the East’s first practice. The Wake Forest signee is not physically imposing at around 5-foot-11, 170 pounds. He has to muscle up to drive his throws and had some hesitation pulling the trigger during the joint practice on Wednesday. With that said, the Marietta (Ga.) Walton product looks to be an ideal fit in the Demon Deacons’ scheme. – Charles Power
