Here’s a look at the “Top 15” quarterback prospects in the Midwest.
1. Isiah Williams, 6-2, 220, 4.7, Chicago (Vocational)
Rocket-Arm QB gives a down Illinois program a big shot in the arm.
2. Austen Arnaud, 6-3, 205, 4.8, Ames, Iowa
Set to choose between Iowa and Iowa State. Terrific dual-threat QB.
3. Nate Davis, 6-3, 200, 4.7, Bellaire, Ohio. </B>
Raw but Davis has a cannon for an arm and he’s a natural athlete
4. Mike Hartline, 6-6, 185, 4.8, Canton (Glenoak) .
Needs to add bulk but Hartline has the potential to be a special player
5. Alex Loukas, 6-4, 190, 4.7, Deerfield, Ill., .
There’s not a hotter QB prospect in the Midwest. Tons of upside
6. Demetrius Jones, 6-3, 190, 4.7, Chicago (Morgan Park) .
“Double D” is an athletic QB who will flourish in the right system
7. Jared Funk, 6-2, 175, 4.6, Arlington Heights (Ill.) St. Viator.
Check this list in three years and Funk could be the best of the bunch
8. Arvell Nelson, 6-4, 175, 4.7, Cleveland (Ohio) Glenville.
Arvell needs to add bulk but he’s been impressive this spring
9. Adam Weber, 6-2, 205, 4.8, Arden Hills (Minn.) Mounds View.
Impressed on the spring combine circuit; Favors Minnesota
10. Ben Chappell, 6-2, 210, 4.8, Bloomington (Ind.) South.
Same high school as Rex Grossman…Committed to Indiana
11. Matt Jansen, 6-2, 190, 4.7, Crown Point (Ind.) .
Some feel that Jansen is the best quarterback in the Hoosier State
12. Rudy Kirbus, 6-4, 205, 4.7, Cleveland (Ohio) St. Ignatius.
Plays for one of the top programs in the Midwest…25 TD passes in ’04
13. Mike Canfield, 6-1, 215, 4.6, Lansing (MI) Everett.
Impressed at the Army All-American Combine in San Antonio
14. Brennen Glass, 6-4, 215, 4.8, Springfield (Ohio) South.
3,052 yards passing and 29 touchdowns as a junior
15. Miles Schlichter, 6-1, 205, 4.7, Washington Court House (Ohio) Miami Trace. Athletic and good gene pool; Competition is a question mark but Schlichter could be very productive at the next level.
