Alabama Shocks Iowa State with Last-Minute QB Recruiting Heist—What This Means for the Season

While Thomalla has a ways to go in terms of development, he seems to be on the path toward a successful college career at Alabama.

“More than capable of extending plays and creating opportunities when the pocket breaks down as he climbs away from pressure and keeps his eyes down field,” the scouting report continues. “However, doesn’t offer a ton of value as a runner despite being an above-the-rim finisher on the hardwood. Uses touch and trajectory to push the ball into the deeper third, but must get more comfortable firing fastballs over the middle and throwing his targets open. Cut down on the interceptions as an 11th grader and further film study should only improve his ability to anticipate gaps in coverages. Projects as a potential multi-year starter at the Power Four level. Likely to need a developmental year or two, but hard not to get excited about the size, velocity and resume.”
