SI All-American Candidate DC Tabscott Highlights and Evaluation

DC Tabscott is a quarterback prospect from Father Ryan High School in Nashville, Tenn. DC Tabscott is an SI All-American candidate.

Prospect: DC Tabscott
Projected Position: Quarterback
Status: SI All-American Candidate
Vitals: 6-foot-2.5, 201 pounds
School: Nashville (Tenn.) Father Ryan
Committed to: Appalachian State 

Frame: Slightly above-average height for position. Adequate width across shoulders, chest. Long arms. Developing, tightly-wound lower half. Plenty of room for additional weight. 

Athleticism: Good feet. Not a dual-threat, but quick enough to buy extra time in pocket, fast enough to scramble downhill for chunk yardage. Solid overall body coordination. Average arm strength at best. 

Instincts: Natural pocket sense. Feels rush and adjusts to maintain integrity of pocket. Almost too comfortable throwing on run, off platform given middling velocity. Not afraid to take a hit with feet set. 

Polish: Adequate accuracy to all three levels, though ball occasionally floats. Mostly shows good footwork while dropping. Keeps ball high in pocket. Relatively quick, repeatable over-the-top delivery. 

Bottom Line: Tabscott lacks the arm talent to thrive at the Power-5 level, but his blend of passing skills and athletic traits are well suited for a G5 powerhouse like Appalachian State. Projects as multi-year starter for Mountaineers, with All-Conference potential.
