SIZE:
Austin has very good size for a 2020 Dual Threat QB at 6’1” 180 lbs. He plays at a high level of the field, a standout talent who can take over a game. Shows very good footwork and agility for a QB of his size. Throws the ball with a high release point, adding height to his delivery.
ACCURACY:
His throws are made with sharp precision, able to hit his receivers while in stride. He’s deadly over the middle with a quick release, getting the ball to his receivers in a hurry. With a 60% comp rate, he can work to improve on that but I love his aggressiveness.
ARM STRENGTH:
Increased accelerated arm motion, allows for throws made with high velocity at the short and intermediate range. Very effective vertical passing game, with strong throws that extend the field.
RELEASE:
Very skilled at making the right adjustments on the angle of his throws, depending on the passing situation. He’s an over the top passer who can go from a fully extended arm motion, down to a tight three quarter delivery when needed. Shows very good footwork prior to release.
THROW ON RUN:
Austin can do just about anything on the field because of his athleticism. He displays quickness and speed getting to the outside and is very good at picking up potential targets.
FOOTWORK:
He’s a long stride runner who can pick up chunks of yardage in a hurry. Shows good footwork on his dropbacks and prior to set up.
POISE:
He's not affected by the noise around him. Able to handle pressure while continuing to follow through on the play.
POCKET PRESENCE:
Very agile within the pocket, able to create added space for himself. Good sense of the traffic around him while keeping focused on the play.
DECISION MAKING:
This is an area of skill for Austin. He’s very good at working through his progressions. I like his aggressiveness, attacking the defense while exposing their weaknesses.
TOUCH:
His does a nice job making the right adjustments on the velocity of his throws, creating a softer touch when needed.
