I made it about halfway through his jr season highlight video to form my take on his skills.

First thing to jump off of the screen is that he has a pretty strong arm for a high school junior. He isn't on DJ's level (nobody is) but it's a big arm.

He also throws very well on the run.

That brings me to my next point specifically replying to Calhoun.

He doesn't run around like Bo Nix because he's a bad QB, he does it because he has an absolutely awful OL. Also I think his throwing motion looks very normal when he is standing and throwing. It changes some when he is on the run, but his on-the-run accuracy shows that whatever he is doing must be working.

On the plays where he has any sort of protection he seems very comfortable in the pocket and stands tall and makes college type throws downfield and to the sidelines.

He is listed as a dual threat QB, but I'm not sure he is as fast as Trevor. Speed looks similar to Watson at best and he seems to want to run to throw instead of bailing and running every time there is pressure. In saying that, I have no clue what his competition is like and sometimes that makes kids looks faster or slower than they really are.

As a high school junior, it's hard to tell what his ceiling will be but he will likely show up to college with a pretty good head for the game since his dad is a college coach.

I'm guessing this isn't a kid you would want running your team as a true freshman, but it looks to me like he is an extremely talented kid and a great prospect at this stage of his career.
