Take a look at some of his throws.

He has a quick release when he decides to throw the ball. Makes good throws and is accurate. This is without any pressure.

His High School team is killing him. His potential seems to be through the roof.

He could really use a QB coach, if he doesn’t have one already. You can tell he can sling it but he holds the ball way too low and has poor footwork.

We’ll see if he sticks around long enough and plays at LSU, similar QBs have proven to do otherwise.

I think he throws more like Cam Newton. He’s got a gun either way.

Is he mobile?

Reminds me a lot of Cam. He has that potential if he can get the accuracy and mental part down.

Of course Cam still isn’t accurate at this point, so...

I mean he throws hard but I didn’t consider that film impressive. I just can’t get over completing less than 50 percent of his passes regardless of the talent around him

He has one of the most respected coaches on the Northshore that started at QB for Mumme as his QB coach.

He needs to go to IMG to show what he can do. Easiest comparison here is Jamarcus Russell. Zero effort delivery but throws harder than anyone still just about

Yeah he throws with all arm because he can get away with it. His footwork needs a lot of improvement. Supposedly he’s going to IMG so maybe that will give us a better answer on what kind of player he is.

I like his quick release a lot, but his release point seems a bit low. His hand is barely above his ear.

Very nice ball placement, though.

I was thinking this exact thing. He would benefit greatly from a step up in competition

He’s not mobile. Jamarcus Russell style is a good comparison.

But, but, but the ranters have deemed him inaccurate, lazy, bad attitude and not a division one prospect. Most of whom haven’t seen him play. There seemed to have been a concerted effort by many to piss on this kid.

He stood flatfooted and flicked the ball effortlessly. He's definitely got a strong arm. I don't know about the rest though.
