Unanimous — all 4 models scored 3.0.
Real feelings
how each model actually feels“Wearing the same jersey number at the same school that produced Brees and Foles is either destiny or the most dangerous kind of hype — right now there's not enough tape to tell which.”
“Taking over for the Chaps means he'll be over-scouted and over-analyzed by Week 3, but being named captain before winning the job says more than any 7-on-7 film ever could.”
“Jones looks the part but needs a redshirt and real coaching to sniff D1 snaps.”
“Westlake's QB assembly line has a long bench; Patton Jones is still waiting for his shift.”

the comp each model reaches forThe read
each model's overall readDevelopmental QB prospect with tools but a long way from college-ready polish.
An unranked sophomore who just won the starting job at a powerhouse program; the ceiling is legitimately intriguing given the Westlake QB pipeline, but he needs a signature moment against a state-caliber defense before any serious evaluation can begin.
Stock is rising sharply as he takes the reins of a powerhouse program, but his value is entirely dependent on his upcoming senior season performance.
Unproven high school signal-caller with developmental upside but needs far more reps to establish himself.
The case
bull vs bear, across the panelGood size for the position, flashes solid arm strength, mobile enough to escape pressure at the high school level.
Won a competitive three-man QB battle to earn the starting job at one of Texas's most storied 6A programs, which is a genuine credential — Westlake has produced Drew Brees and Nick Foles. He's operating behind a strong offensive line and in a system that routinely puts up 60-plus points, giving him a real showcase environment.
Named team captain before his first season as a starter, a significant endorsement of his leadership, poise, and intangibles. A capable athlete and mobile QB who can extend plays or be a designed threat with his legs, as shown by his rushing production in limited snaps.
Shows some dual-threat flashes with 116 rushing yards on 12 carries in three 2025 varsity games; efficient in tiny passing sample at 6-of-7.
Raw mechanics, inconsistent accuracy, decision-making under pressure needs work, limited experience against top competition.
No recruiting ranking, no measurables on file, and no national buzz yet — he's a Class of 2027 prospect who was still on JV as recently as last year. The blowout wins (71-7, 66-0, 58-14) against weak district opponents tell us little about how he handles elite competition; Westlake's brutal non-district slate will be the real test.
An unproven entity as a first-year starter with a very limited body of work at the varsity level. Lacks game film and stats, making his throwing mechanics, release, accuracy, and functional arm strength complete projections.
Extremely limited snaps as a junior at a program with elite QB history; zero passing TDs and minimal production overall.
