First-year starter. Four school records. 12-2 in Texas 6A. Chase processes the field fast, gets the ball out quick, and keeps his eyes downfield. He did it at 5'11" 167 pounds — he's now 6'1" 180 and still growing. Coaches who value decision-making, ball placement, and a quarterback who commands the offense will see it on film immediately.

"We got ourselves a field general. Telling his receivers where to go, reading coverage, directing traffic. That stood out immediately."

Film Intelligence
QB Trait Matrix
Grades sourced to named evaluators and verified game data. No composite scores — just what the film and the feedback show.
Field Vision
ELITE
Keeps eyes downfield consistently. Reads coverage pre-snap and directs receivers to adjust routes based on what the defense presents. — Marrs (UNC), Platform, BJ Jones field eval
Release Speed
ELITE
Pushes the ball on his release, gets the ball out quick. Quick release is a consistent strength across every evaluation. — Marrs (UNC)
Decision Making
ELITE
18-for-18 in a playoff game. 71% full-season completion. Advanced reads and anticipatory accuracy throughout DR7 NOLA. — Platform, verified stats
Pocket Poise
ABOVE AVERAGE
Mechanics stayed clean under pressure. Composed against tight coverage. Remained poised through championship game. — Platform DR7 NOLA
Pocket Accuracy
ABOVE AVERAGE
Tight-window delivery. Back-shoulder throws with precision. High-pointing the ball to 6'5" receivers — not a hang, a placement decision. — Platform, family context
Athleticism
FUNCTIONAL
Can pick up 2-3 first downs per game with his feet. Scramble ability, not designed QB run. Enough to extend plays. — Marrs (UNC)
Deep Ball
BUILDING
Can throw 60 yards on demand. 30+ passes over 40 yards last season. Ball appears to hang because he's high-pointing to 6'5" receivers — coaches should view in that context. Range extending with daily training. — Marrs, family context
Accuracy on the Move
BUILDING
Active training focus. Less game film showing rollout throws due to offensive scheme — school 7v7 season (May-July) will provide play-calling reps to showcase. — Marrs
Sourced Evaluations
See Chase's Reviews
Showcased traits college programs covet in a next-level passer. Surgical all weekend — consistently fit the ball into tight windows, delivered back-shoulder throws with precision, remained composed against tight coverage. Mechanics stayed clean under pressure, decision-making was advanced. Strong field vision, anticipatory accuracy, and the mechanical foundation to continue developing physically.
Tight-Window Accuracy Back-Shoulder Throws Poise Under Pressure Advanced Decision-Making
Has good deep ball placement, overall decent accuracy. Pushes the ball on his release, gets the ball out quick. Does a good job keeping his eyes downfield. Has decent footwork in the pocket. He has slightly above average athleticism, could get you 2-3 first downs in a game with his feet.

Growth Profile

5'11" 167 → 6'1" 180
+2 inches · +13 lbs since junior season
1st Year Starter
4 school records · 12-2 · at a physical disadvantage
Assessment: Chase produced at an elite statistical level while physically undersized — the production came before the body caught up. He's gained 2 inches and 13 pounds since the season ended and is still growing based on family trajectory. A program investing now is buying a quarterback whose decision-making is college-ready while the frame is still developing. That's the most coachable combination available.

  • Full S&C program — project 195+ lbs

Identified Risks

Deep ball still developing — can throw 60 on demand but extending consistent range with less effort
6'1" 180 — frame still filling out, durability in high-contact pocket environments
Limited film throwing on the move — school 7v7 (May-July) will provide those reps
Unrated on major recruiting platforms, limiting organic exposure

Mitigating Factors

Grew 2" and 13 lbs since junior season — physical trajectory is accelerating, not stalling
Broke 4 school records at 5'11" 167 — production validates the floor regardless of frame
Ball "hang" is contextual — throwing to two 6'5" receivers who high-point the ball. That's placement, not weakness
12-2 in TX 6A vs Vandegrift (state champs) and Westlake — first DS win since 1959
