Peyton Houston

Compactly-built quarterback who is one of the more productive signal callers and polished passers in the 2027 cycle. Measured in at a shade over 5-foot-10, and around 200 pounds with a 8.5 to 8.75-inch hand prior to his senior season. Has increasingly improved his athleticism in the combine setting, with a quick initial explosion and impressive change of direction marks. A high-usage quarterback who does it all for his high school team. Trained and polished as a passer with buttoned up mechanics. Consistently replicates his release, leading to strong accuracy. Has advanced field vision and feel as a passer. Delivers with outstanding timing and ball placement. Can make defenders miss in the backfield to buy time and keeps his eyes downfield. Doubles as a quality runner on scrambles and designed runs. Completed 66% of his passes for 3,836 yards and 42 touchdowns against 9 interceptions as a junior, adding 942 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground.A physical outlier as a shorter quarterback with a smaller frame and hands. Downfield arm is more good than great and is most comfortable when delivering from an established base and his default arm slot. Spends ample time working out of a 10 yard deep shotgun for his high school team that is not translatable to playing within the pocket at the next level. Projects as a high floor college quarterback prospect with the potential to be very productive in a wide open system. Will need to buck trends to be an early round draft pick, but has the high skill level and consistency to make that a possibility.
