Jerry Meyer III is quickly emerging as one of the most talked-about quarterback prospects in Texas. The Waxahachie signal-caller has been making waves this offseason, recently shining at the Dallas Rivals Camp where Rivals.com National Recruiting Analyst Greg Smith had the following to say about Meyer's performance...
"The 2027 four-star anticipates very well and delivers an accurate, catchable ball. He was consistently on target all camp long especially on short and intermediate routes. While he is not an overwhelming threat with his legs, he does move around well in the pocket and throws it well on the run."
