As a freshman in high school (2024), he threw for over 1,000 yards and 17 touchdowns, while only throwing three interceptions. He also competes in track and field and baseball.

Scouting Report (via Andrew Ivins, 247Sports)

Lanky pocket passer that wins with ball placement. Utilizes clean mechanics to generate impressive torque. Frequently fires from a firm base as he frames up targets. Slick working off play-action and has distributed from a myriad of formations. Not the most dynamic mover, but will take a hit. Must keep progressing, but has the ingredients to be a high-level facilitator.
