Zayne Guthrie 6'0,185LB QB Class of 2019 Addison HS (AL) - ALl-AMerican Early Selection

Zayne Guthrie is a stand-out Quarterback, out of Addison High School, in our host state of Alabama. When it comes to dual-threat Quarterback's, Zayne reminds me of the Heisman Trophy winner, Eric Crouch, in the way he is able to operate in the option game, while throwing extremely effectively, while on the run. Zayne is very nifty with his run fakes in the option game, which creates a blind eye for the defense, as they have no idea which man will be toting the rock downfield. In the very start of Guthrie's highlight's, you will witness his game breaking speed, as he is able to swiftly maneuver between defenders and break to daylight, while running away from the competition. Guthrie can even be seen taking the ball on kickoff return, using the same agility and athletic prowess, to set his team up with prime field position. At around 2 minutes, Zayne can be seen taking the snap on a QB power and much like Eric Crouch, he is able to use amazing agility and subtle changes of speed, to elude defenders, on his way to pay dirt. Do not let Zayne's great running ability fool you, as he can also push the ball downfield with precision and accuracy, as seen at around 2:15 into his fantastic junior year highlight's. A few plays later, Zayne is seen scrambling to the left and delivers a perfect touch pass to his receiver for another long touchdown. His throw on the run, at around 3:30 into his highlight's, shows me he can really push the ball downfield with very good velocity, which will benefit him in the world of collegiate football. Zayne is a nightmare for a defense, while in the pocket, as he is able to weave in and out of defenders and if a play breaks down, will be off to the races in a flash! This young phenom will be competing at the 2019 Scout Trout All-American Bowl and I am extremely pleased with the talent the host state has presented us, as we inch closer to showtime! I want to thank Zayne and his family for joining the Scout Trout Militia and I also want to thank his teammate, Class of 2018 All-American Tyler Borden, for alerting Scout Trout to this wonderful talent from Alabama!
