Scouting Report
Evaluated 06/24/2024
Manske is a pretty fascinating prospect who we’ve seen a lot this off-season including three days at the Elite 11 Finals. We called him raw at times and he’s not the most fluid thrower but we do like the size, multi-sport athleticism and makeup. In addition to football, he plays baseball, basketball and runs track and has a lot of natural ability. He doesn’t play like a conventional quarterback and almost looks more comfortable throwing off-platform/outside the pocket, even on straight drops, then a throwing with a typical over the top release. He’s comfortable throwing on the run and really thrives in those kind of situations when a play breaks down. He’ll need some time to fine tune some things and has never really had a true off-season because of his multi-sport commitments but he’s a gamer and it won’t shock us if he ends up a multi-year starter for the Cyclones down the road.
