QB Tucker Israel | Lake Nona | 6’1 | 195 | 2015
When you talk about the best pure football prospects in the class of 2015 across the country, Tucker Israel is without a doubt atop that list. Israel won the Florida Dairy Farmer’s Association 2012 Class 5A player of the year as a sophomore and duplicated his outstanding numbers from his freshman season. He broke the Orange County record for touchdown passes in a season as a freshman with an astonishing 37, which he did again in his sophomore year. Aside from his record statistics, his mechanics are a thing of beauty. His spiral is better than any other quarterback I saw all last season. His deep ball is just so impressive and his accuracy is tremendous. This quarterback is going to be a top prospect in the nation when his time comes.
