Strengths: His body is the prototypical type of a quarterback at the next level. He has the height to drop back in the pocket and has excellent vision over the field. His 230-pound frames protect him from a majority of hits and prevent the risk of injury—a dual-threat quarterback who can beat a defense with his arm and legs. He has the unbelievable arm strength to make any throw on the field, with precision on the deep throws. He makes throws at the NFL level and able to zip passes in tight windows. He fits any RPO offenses with his ability to run the ball on protection break down, read-zones, or designed quarterback run plays. He generally looks for an open receiver before he will take off down the field.

Weaknesses: He tends to misread his coverages and thrown senseless interceptions not reading the safeties. He can be inconsisten at times and tries to make every throw on point. Especially on his deep ball, he does not allow the receiver to run under the ball all the defensive back able to make a play on the ball. He will rely on his arm to get him out of trouble that more times than not does. At Wake Forest, he only started one season, before transferring to Georgia. When the pandemic struck, he opted out of the season to prepare for the 2020 NFL Draft. His excellent size is attractive to most teams but his playing time was limited. Can be a steal for some teams or a project for others.

Draft Projection: 3rd - 5th Round
