I'm pretty sure as a QB. He has the arm strength and a good release, just needs some coaching.

He is the same as any number of guys who play football in high school. His athleticism trumps his shortcomings because he is generally one of the best, if not the best, athletes on the field.

He has good arm strength and good speed as a runner, also big and strong enough to power through contact. But his accuracy is hit-and-miss so he is going to at least be a bit of a project at QB. I don't know enough about the kid to know if he projects at QB at the next level or if he'll be a WR, DB or LB.

Funny part is, his QB coach at Ruston is.....(drum roll please)


Steven Ensminger Jr. (Obviously Steve's son)

I graduated from Ruston and watched all of his games. He's absolutely an SEC caliber athlete, but he's got a long way to go to become a college level QB. His arm motion is all wrong, his release is low, and he's not very accurate at all. His throwing motion reminds me a lot of TJ Finley. Imagine a more slender version of him with more speed.

I could see him transitioning into a spectacular WR. NFL 1st round level potential.

I don’t think WR is in his future. He is a QB and he has grown by leaps and bounds over this year alone. He went from a 0 star to a 3 star recruit in 48 minutes (seriously). He is a humble kid and he needs some polishing but what high school kid doesn’t?
