Draft Profile: Bio
Dylan Lonergan from Brookwood High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Lonergan opted to join Alabama.In 2023 as a freshman Lonergan saw action in just one game for the Crimson Tide as he threw for only 12 yards on 2 attempts with a completion percent of 100 for an average of 6.0 yards per pass, with no TDs, while taking no sacks, and QB rating of 91.7.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Lonergan thrives when he’s extending plays. He’s a loose athlete who should be able to clean up his mechanics at the next level. He’ll hang in and take big hits.
- He is enough of a threat as a runner to earn respect from back-side defenders at the next level, opening opportunities for running backs.
- He’s enough of a threat as a runner to make the read-option game effective.
- Ball placement is a strength. Lonergan has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
- Athletic quarterback who is a threat to leave the pocket and gain positive yardage at any time. Possesses very good vision balance, elusiveness and deceptive speed and power as a runner.
- Good zip and ball placement on the quick slant. Good touch down the seam and on post-corner, flag routes to attack the defense vertically and horizontally.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His arm strength is decent but less than ideal; Lonergan lacks a little zip, and accuracy becomes an issue when he’s unable or unwilling to set his feet.
- Because he lacks prototypical size, he will likely have issues in the pocket.
- Marginal height, which will prove more of a detriment in an offense that asks him to drop back from center more often.
