Watch: Texas QB Commit Carves Up Defenses in Elite 7-on-7 Competition

Texas commit and SI All American candidate Jalen Milroe had himself a day at the Dallas Pylon 7-on-7 Tournament.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound quarterback from Katy Tompkins High School out of the Houston area piloted his 7-on-7 team all the way to the finals of the tournament with a sizzling performance that featured several pinpoint strikes. 

Here he splits a pair of defenders with a frozen rope to find his receiver on a post route for a touchdown. 

Later in the day showed off his live arm again when he hit a man in the flat for clutch score. 

Milroe has been committed to the Longhorns for nearly a calendar year, making his verbal pledge all the way back on July 21 of 2019. 

Here's what SI All American's John Garcia had to say about the elite prospect. 

Frame: Athletic with excellent definition in upper-body. Tightly-wound and flat torso. Well-built thighs and carved calves.

Athleticism: Has been clocked at 4.64 in the 40-yard dash, and has a 4.38 short-shuttle time. Also posted a vertical jump of nearly 35 inches last spring. Fairly quiet feet in pocket with good knee bend and throwing base. Can elude rush and find new throwing lane and reset. Has enough torso rotation and flexibility to perform off-platform throws. Possesses a 2-count delivery with ball coming out with good spin from either over the top or ear-hole level, depending on arm slot. Above-average arm strength to threaten second and third levels, as well as field from boundary.

Instincts: Keeps eyes downfield with very good feel for rush and natural ability to climb up in pocket. Accurate to short and intermediate levels, and flashes deep-ball anticipation and proper ball placement. Natural in secondary-reaction phase with athleticism to scramble or be a run threat. Quick trigger to take what defense gives him versus cover-4. 

Polish: Plays exclusively from shotgun and is a solid ball-handler. Executes half-field reads, yet does appear to see whole field in secondary-reaction phase. Also ran some max-protection and 2-route combinations. Can be careless with ball while scrambling and must keep both hands on ball in pocket consistently. Must continue increasing processing and progressions across entire field.

Bottom Line: Milroe is an athletic QB with good traits. He has enough arm strength to push the ball downfield, and flashes very good accuracy. The Texan also has escapability and solid quickness to elude defenders as a runner. Milroe fits best in an offense with a 3-step and 5-step passing attack that also will utilize him on designed runs in its rushing attack.
