Very similar to Prukop coming out of high school. Odd throwing motion with absolute insane running ability. Glad he gets to sit for a few years!
Not sure I see the "odd" throwing motion. Makes every throw on the field including 50 yard on the run to his weak side... Eyes are always up and extends every play that needs to be made. MSU is lucky to find the next great TX QB.
Agreed. Give him a few seasons behind Prukop and he will be a special player I believe
It's amazing how many good players there are in Texas. You have to wonder how many that could play FCS ball never set foot on a college field. It's kind of hard to wrap your head around. Hoy, for example, is only considered the third best QB in his district (12-5A). He was selected second team QB, but the league MVP was another QB and if you get that award they don't allow you to be first or second team QB. The first team QB was a junior.
Texas just re-organized its sports classifications and now goes up to 6-A. I believe there's something like 400 5A and 6A teams in Texas. Some AA Montana schools aren't big enough to be in 5A. Rockwall-Heath is around 2,100 enrollment, which is bigger than any AA school here. I think Bozeman is the biggest and it's 1,961 (2013-14 number). Only four schools in Montana are over 1,600.
Right you are about Texas players. However; allot of QBs here (yes I'm in Texas) are the benefit of being in systems that allow them to put up huge numbers. For example, league MVP of Hoy's district was a 4 year starter and listed as a 4 star player on ESPN. But, he never beat or had good numbers against Rockwall-Heath. And he had FBS players that could go at RB and WR every year. School was a pipeline of talent.
Same with the 1st Team QB. Lost to Rockwall-Heath 41-18. Hoy had better numbers and his team won in head to head comp (only year they played).
So to say MSU is getting the 3rd best QB from this District is only to the discretion of the beholder. Not to mention, Texas HS Coaches tend to have agendas on who they nominate and vote for for all district balloting...
Jordan Hoy led his team further in the playoffs (11 total TDs and 725 yards in 2.5 games) (only played first half of Bi-District Playoff game) than the MVP (other team did not even make it). I want the winner and competitor. Oh, and the fact that he runs a 4.5 and can make every throw, is just s bonus.

You guys will love him.
That sounds pretty great, thanks for the info hawk!
He definitely looks to be more of a runner than a passer. He averaged 104 yards a game passing and 70 yards a game running. Only had 3 picks on the year, and completed just under 60% of his passes. Passed for 13 TD's and rushed for 16.
Very impressive pick up! Outside of the experience of McQuery, I think he is a better QB for the Cat's system. It will be fun to see how he matures in the system with Cramsey. A nice fit for the Cats and I think he is going to definitely make an impact.

He looks to be a great athlete.
Maybe WR...?
I think you don't get it. Sleeping in until 6 won't get many people very far in life, especially if they want to play on Sunday.

HS offense limited his passing attempts. Bit of a old school coach who liked to ground and pound and control the clock... Recruited to play QB and will play QB. Cramsey loves him and they will be great together.
He is a QB first who happens to be a tremendous athlete. Remember in Texas most 5A and 6A schools all have at least 1-2 legit D1 athletes on defense so putting up numbers here is a legit sign of ability. Jordan definitely made the most of the offense he was in.
Not to mention he is a poised, calm, eyes down the field type of QB. Big Sky Country is in for some good football...

The more you say the more I'm excited about him. I believe Everett Gilbert and Darius Jones both played as true freshman here, that just shows how college ready those athletes are. HOWEVER, I hope we can redshirt him this season. Im betting he starts as a redshirt sophomore here. Perfect fit for our uptempo offense
I see Rockwall on that chart. I know there is Rockwall and Rockwall-Heath. I also don't get your post, you say 3 A and the chart says 6A. What am I missing?

Sorry grabbed the wrong one. Fixed it..

104 ypg passing seems to be quite low if he's going to replace Prukop one day. Tell me what I'm missing?

Read the entire thread. HS was run heavy also had a 1000 yard back. Accumulated 2/3rd of teams offense. Maybe you should watch the video and see.
He is supremely confident in his wheels, but I like that he passes when he could run. No doubt about Jordan, should he mature and learn in the system he is our next star QB!

Not to mention Prukop came from a scheme where he ran a ton in high school. He doesn't have to play for two years (hopefully) so he has the perfect situation in front of him.

I think you're right.
Plus his work ethic and intelligence will be a pleasant surprise for Coach Ash and Coach Cramsey... Not to mention he didn't roll out of bed one day and say I want to be a QB in HS. Has been playing the position since he was 7. Has had 2 OCs and 3 different systems in 3 year of HS football. When in the true spread as a Sophomore was player of the week with 300 yds passing and 6 TDs with no picks in his very first HS start. And that was 5A football in Texas (before classification changed to 6A).

Where will 1, 4 and 22 play next year? I'm pretty impressed with all three of them also. Send them to MSU also, especially 22. Prukop has some competition coming his way.
