HOW ARE TOP QB RECRUITS S.T.E.P SCORED?
S.T.E.P™ QB Evaluation Breakdown
(Recruiting → NFL Draft Continuum)
Original Scout Trout Elite Formula
(TM) + (DP) + (EAT) + (PP) + (IP) + (CL) + (TV) = QB
We now bucket and weight these traits into S – T – E – P, keeping the evaluation football-pure but scalable.
🟦 S — Sustainability
Can this QB’s game hold up year over year, level to level?
Includes: Consistent Leadership (CL) Command of offense Trust from teammates & staff Competitive poise across wins/losses Information Processing (IP) (long-term cognitive sustainability) Progression speed (1–5 reads) Defensive recognition Adaptability vs changing looks Why it lives in S:
Mental durability, leadership capital, and processing speed are what travel from HS → college → NFL.
Typical Weight: 20–25%
🟨 T — Technique
How technically repeatable is the quarterback’s craft?
Includes: Throwing Mechanics (TM) Footwork, base, hip/shoulder alignment Release consistency
Dart Precision (DP) (mechanical accuracy) Short/intermediate timing Ball placement that allows YAC
Why it lives in T:
Technique determines whether arm talent shows up on schedule and under structure.
Typical Weight: 25%
🟥 E — Execution
What actually shows up when the lights are on?
Includes: Pocket Presence (PP)
Movement within pocket Throwing under duress Creating without breaking structure
Information Processing (IP) (in-game execution layer) Correct decision → correct throw Anticipation, not reaction
Why IP shows up twice: S = mental sustainability E = real-time application
Typical Weight: 25–30%
🟩 P — Presence
The physical traits that stress defenses and raise ceilings.
Includes: Elite Arm Talent (EAT)
Deep ball leverage Throwing receivers open NFL window capability
Throw Velocity (TV) Ball speed from release → target Ability to beat coverage leverage
Why it lives in P:
Presence is what forces defensive adjustment and separates “starter” from “difference-maker.”
Typical Weight: 20–25%
🔢 How the Final STEP QB Score Is Built
Each bucket is graded on a 0–10 scale:
SCL + IP/10
TTM + DP/10
EPP + IP/10
PEAT + TV/10
Total STEP QB Score:
👉 S + T + E + P = /40
🧠 Why This Translation Matters
Keeps original scouting language intact
Converts subjective QB traits into repeatable rankings
Works across: HS recruiting Transfer Portal NFL Draft boards Explains why a QB is ranked—not just where

2027 TOP QB RECRUIT CAMDEN HUGHES
QB Camden Hughes
6'2", 185
The Woodlands College Park HS
(TX)
GPA - 3.7
TOP 2027 QB RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Camden Hughes has firmly established himself as one of the most polished quarterbacks in the 2027 recruiting class, already earning offers from UTSA and North Texas while rewriting the record books at The Woodlands College Park. At 6’2”, 195 pounds, Hughes combines ideal dual-threat attributes with advanced mechanics and possesses a football IQ well beyond his years. He owns a rapid quick release, delivering the football with velocity, accuracy & confidence even under heavy pressure. His ability to throw on the run is spectacular, as he maintains balance and mechanics while extending plays, giving his receivers time to separate before dropping passes with uncanny touch into tight windows. Hughes’ sophomore campaign showcased his efficiency and playmaking ability as he threw for 2,555 yards, 27 touchdowns, and just 5 interceptions, while adding 5 rushing scores, earning 13-6A Offensive Newcomer of the Year, 1st Team All-District honors, and leading his team to a Bi-District Championship. His knack for layering passes over defenders, combined with his precision and poise, makes him a dynamic offensive leader capable of thriving in any system. With his production, accolades, and skill set, Hughes projects as a high-ceiling Power Five quarterback prospect and one of Texas’ next great signal callers. Hughes is tailor-made for a modern spread offense, where his quick release and accuracy allow him to exploit spacing concepts and get the ball into his playmakers’ hands in rhythm. His ability to throw on the move fits perfectly with rollouts, RPOs, and bootlegs, where he can attack the edges of the defense or pull the ball down and run when necessary. In a tempo-driven spread, his decision-making and poise under pressure make him the type of quarterback who can orchestrate long drives while also hitting explosive plays over the top. In a pro-style scheme, Hughes’ polish as a passer really shines. His footwork and mechanics allow him to work efficiently under center or in the shotgun, and his ability to layer throws into tight windows makes him effective in play-action and timing-based passing concepts. With his touch on deep balls, he can stretch the field vertically, while his processing speed gives him the ability to go through progressions and handle more complex defenses. Adding more size and continuing to sharpen his pocket presence would help him thrive in a pro-style look that emphasizes precision and discipline. Because of his versatility, Hughes can fit either system at the next level, but his quick release, accuracy, and ability to make off-platform throws make him especially dangerous in a spread or hybrid spread-pro-style offense like those run at many Power Five programs. He projects as a quarterback who could start early in his career and elevate an offense with his efficiency and playmaking.

2027 OLE MISS QB COMMIT KEEGAN CROUCHER
QB Keegan Croucher
6'4", 205
Cheshire Academy
(NY)
GPA - 4.0
TOP 2027 QB RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Keegan Croucher has established himself as one of the premier quarterback recruits in the 2027 class, already stacking up 20 Division I offers and narrowing his focus to Ole Miss, Penn State, and Oregon. At 6’4”, 207 pounds, Croucher brings the prototypical frame college coaches covet, paired with an advanced skill set that belies his age. He exudes a calm, collected presence in the pocket, never appearing rattled under pressure, and demonstrates an uncanny throwing motion that is smooth, repeatable, and mechanically sound. His excellent footwork allows him to reset quickly, deliver accurate passes to all levels of the field, and maintain balance when throwing on the move. Perhaps most impressive is his unparalleled arm strength, as he is capable of dropping dimes over the top of the defense and threading tight windows with velocity. After passing for 2,052 yards and 21 touchdowns as just a sophomore, Croucher has proven himself as a polished passer who can both manage an offense efficiently and take over games with his arm talent. Keegan Croucher’s game is defined by a rare level of accuracy and precision for a quarterback at his stage of development. He consistently places the football where only his receivers can make a play, showing advanced anticipation to hit his targets in stride and maintain rhythm within the offense. His ball placement on deep throws allows him to drop passes over the top of coverage with touch, while on short and intermediate routes he delivers with surgical precision, giving his playmakers the chance to maximize yards after the catch. What separates Croucher even further is his ability to throw on the move—he remains balanced outside the pocket, maintains consistent mechanics, and can deliver strikes rolling either left or right, a trait that makes him extremely dangerous against pressure. His very quick release adds another dimension, as the ball comes out clean and fast, minimizing windows for defenders to react and helping him neutralize blitz packages. This unique blend of accuracy, mobility, and release speed makes Croucher one of the most polished and complete passers in the 2027 recruiting class, with the tools to excel in any offensive system at the next level.With his combination of size, poise, mechanics, and big-play ability, Croucher projects as a future Power Five starter with NFL upside and is firmly entrenched among the elite quarterback prospects nationally in the 2027 cycle.

2027 TOP QB RECRUIT BUCK RANDALL
QB Buck Randall
6'0", 185
Highland Park HS
(TX)
GPA - 3.9
TOP 2027 QB RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Top 2027 QB recruit Buck Randall is well beyond his years athletically as he is capable of generating the transitional torque needed to whip the pigskin down the field effortlessly with outstanding overall velocity & precision. Randall is capable of making difficult throws across his body with his tremendous overall throwing motion that is able to generate the power to knife the ball through the heart of the opposing defense, while exhibiting excellent ball placement in the short to intermediate passing game. When it comes to short synaptic passing attempts that are made off very awkward platforms while under duress, there are not many at this juncture in the American football recruiting process that can deliver what many call “Dilfer Dimes” on a consistent basis. When evaluating proper ball placement on college style intermediate timing routes, I am thoroughly impressed with Randall’s ability to lead his receiver away from the defensive secondary and into the open part of the playing field while giving his receiving target the utmost advantage to flip up the field instantaneously for massive chunks of yardage. There are not many in the class of 2027 that exude many of the characteristics of the next Aaron Rodgers, but I believe that we have located a young man who possesses many of the same attributes as what I refer to as the G.O.A.T.
Update: Top 2027 QB recruit Buck Randall is rapidly emerging as one of the most productive signal-callers in the Lone Star State and is proving himself as a dynamic dual-threat leader. Standing out in Texas 5A competition, Randall continues to showcase poise, accuracy, and playmaking ability, as evidenced by his remarkable performance in a 70-66 shootout victory over Tyler High School where he threw for 473 yards, added 33 yards on the ground, and accounted for five total touchdowns (three passing, two rushing). Randall possesses a polished throwing motion and excels at distributing the ball with timing and precision, giving his receivers opportunities to make plays in stride while also flashing the arm strength to attack vertically. What sets him apart is his ability to extend plays and punish defenses with his legs when protection breaks down, complementing his passing efficiency with mobility and toughness as a runner. He shows a strong command of the offense, quickly processing defensive looks and keeping the chains moving with smart decision-making. Randall’s combination of production, athleticism, and competitive fire make him one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in Texas high school football, and his continued development projects him as a high-ceiling recruit with the tools to thrive at the Power Five level.

QB Sam Holliday

Fountain Inn HS
(SC)
GPA - 4.09
TOP 2027 QB RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Top 2027 QB recruit Sam Holliday out of Fountain Inn HS (SC) has quickly established himself as one of the most dynamic young playmakers in the nation. At 6’0”, 195 pounds, Holliday has already racked up 1,384 yards of total offense and 18 touchdowns through just five games, showcasing his ability to dominate both as a passer and a runner. With a 71% completion rate (70-104 for 989 yards and 11 TDs against only 3 INTs), he displays advanced accuracy and decision-making for his age, pairing impressive arm strength with the ability to deliver strikes on time and in rhythm. His touch on deep balls allows him to stretch defenses vertically, while his knack for throwing accurately on the move adds another layer of unpredictability to his game. On the ground, Holliday is just as dangerous, rushing for 395 yards and 7 scores on only 53 carries, proving to be an explosive and powerful downhill runner who thrives in both designed QB runs and scrambles. His speed, agility, and toughness make him nearly impossible to contain in space, and his dual-threat ability forces defenses to account for him on every snap. Holliday’s blend of passing polish, running ability, and football IQ make him one of the most exciting and complete quarterback prospects in the 2027 class. Holliday is an ideal fit for a spread attack, where his quick decision-making, high completion rate, and accuracy allow him to pick apart defenses with short-to-intermediate throws while still stretching the field vertically. His ability to throw on the move makes him dangerous on rollouts, bootlegs, and quick game concepts, while his running ability forces defenses to account for him in zone-read looks. In a tempo-driven spread system, Holliday’s dual-threat nature can keep defenses on their heels and open up explosive plays. Holliday may be at his most lethal in an RPO or option-heavy scheme. His 71% completion rate shows he can quickly process reads, while his 395 rushing yards and 7 TDs on just 53 carries prove he’s a punishing downhill runner when pulling the ball. In a system that blends option principles with quick-strike passing, Holliday would thrive by freezing linebackers with his run threat before hitting tight windows downfield. His agility and speed make him a nightmare for defenses in QB power, zone-read, and speed option concepts. Holliday also projects well into a modern pro-style hybrid offense, especially one that blends traditional pocket concepts with designed QB runs (like we see at places such as Penn State or Oklahoma). His arm strength and ability to layer throws over the top give him the tools to handle a more complex passing tree, while his toughness and athleticism make him a red-zone weapon in designed QB packages. With refinement in timing-based progressions, Holliday could thrive in this type of system long-term. Overall, Holliday is best suited for a spread or RPO-heavy attack, where his dual-threat ability is maximized, but his natural arm strength and accuracy mean he can also succeed in a hybrid pro-style scheme. His versatility makes him a plug-and-play candidate for multiple offensive systems, and his upside as both a passer and runner suggests he could become a true program-changing quarterback at the next level.

TOP 2027 QB RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Top 2027 QB recruit Tyler Druzbik is a 6’1”, 180-pound quarterback in the 2027 football recruiting class & is emerging as a polished passer with a skill set tailored for efficiency and precision. With a compact throwing motion & lightning-quick release, Druzbik consistently delivers pinpoint throws that keep his receivers in rhythm and maximize yards after the catch. He thrives in the short-to-intermediate passing game, showing the ability to hit targets at eye level with a ball that is both catchable and on time. Druzbik also displays impressive touch when layering throws over linebackers and in front of defensive backs, dropping dimes into tight windows with confidence and accuracy. As shown at the 1:02 mark of his highlights, he can thread the needle on back-shoulder throws and place the ball where only his receiver can make a play. Beyond his arm talent, Druzbik’s athleticism allows him to extend plays and pick up crucial yards with his legs when protection breaks down, while still remaining dangerous as a passer on the move by squaring his shoulders and firing darts with consistency. His football IQ is evident in his decision-making as well as his ability to keep drives alive by efficiently moving the chains. With early interest from Gardner-Webb and Wingate, Druzbik’s accuracy, quick processing, and poise under pressure make him a high-upside prospect poised to develop into a reliable and productive quarterback at the next level.

With early interest from Gardner-Webb and Wingate, Druzbik’s accuracy, quick processing, and poise under pressure make him a high-upside prospect poised to develop into a reliable and productive quarterback at the next level.
