2028 Prospects With Major Upside Shine at Canterbury Evaluation Showcase
Tweet
Grayer Hong | QB | 2028 6’0” 190 lbs | Archbishop Stepinac (NY) → Berkshire School Fall 2026 | Massachusetts
At the Canterbury Evaluation Showcase, Grayer Hong quickly emerged as one of the more naturally gifted quarterbacks in attendance. During warmups and throwing sessions, Hong consistently flashed an effortless flick release paired with one of the tightest spirals at the event. The ball exploded out of his hand with little wasted motion, allowing him to generate impressive velocity while maintaining accuracy. Hong also showed comfort throwing on rhythm and demonstrated solid command of timing concepts throughout drills. His arm talent and natural mechanics immediately caught the attention of coaches watching the quarterback group. While still early in the recruiting process, Hong continues to generate growing regional interest as one of the more promising 2028 quarterbacks in the Northeast.
Dylan Schorpp | QB | 2027 6’2” 190 lbs | St. Luke’s School (CT)
Dylan Schorpp delivered one of the best vertical passing performances of the showcase. The 2028 quarterback consistently drove the football downfield with confidence, throwing deep balls on a tight rope while maintaining touch and placement. Schorpp’s ability to layer throws outside the numbers stood out during live route sessions, and he displayed a calm, poised demeanor throughout the workout. His arm strength and willingness to attack vertically gave evaluators plenty to like during the event. Schorpp remains an intriguing developing quarterback prospect whose combination of size and downfield passing ability should continue attracting recruiting attention moving forward.
Mason Wright | QB | 2029 6’1” 180 lbs | St Lukes School (CT)
Mason Wright showcased one of the more complete skill sets among quarterbacks at Canterbury. Wright displayed strong athleticism throughout movement drills while consistently maintaining polished footwork in and out of the pocket. He threw a clean, tight spiral and looked comfortable creating outside structure during rollout sessions. Wright’s ability to stay balanced while throwing on the move stood out, and his overall mechanics remained consistent from rep to rep. His combination of mobility and technical polish made him one of the more impressive developmental quarterbacks in attendance. Wright continues to trend upward as a young quarterback prospect with notable long-term upside.
Christian Ellis | RB | 2028 5’8” 165 lbs | Canterbury School (CT)
Christian Ellis may have been the quickest running back in attendance at the showcase. Despite a smaller frame, Ellis consistently separated himself with elite foot quickness, sudden cuts, and excellent change-of-direction ability during drill work. He also showed strong versatility as a pass-catching back, running routes naturally and catching the football cleanly away from his frame. Ellis’ burst in space and twitchy athletic profile allowed him to stand out throughout the day as a dynamic offensive weapon capable of creating mismatches in open space. His explosiveness and versatility continue to make him a prospect worth monitoring within the 2028 class.
Noah Patrei | LB | 2027 6’1” 215 lbs | Canterbury School (CT)
Noah Patrei brought one of the more physically impressive linebacker builds to the Canterbury showcase. Built like a bodybuilder, Patrei immediately passed the eye test before drills even began, but it was his movement ability that truly elevated his performance. Throughout linebacker drills, Patrei showed excellent footwork, controlled breakdown mechanics, and fluid movement in space. He moved far better than many players with similar size and consistently looked comfortable changing direction during coverage work. Patrei’s physical tools combined with his athletic movement skills make him one of the more intriguing defensive prospects in attendance and a player college programs will continue tracking closely.
