Southern Nevada’s top quarterback countdown — No. 5

Bishop Gorman’s Dorian Thompson-Robinson comes in at No. 5 on our #NVprepsfb list of Southern Nevada’s top five quarterbacks.

To create the list, we spoke with coaches from the Sunrise and Sunset Regions in both 4A and 3A. A couple of the base questions were: “Who is the top high school quarterback today?” and “Who would you pick to start a team?”

Then we grabbed the statistics from last season, looked at the player’s collective rankings on recruiting websites and used our own judgment to fill holes.

This resulted in the #NVprepsfb quarterback rank. The list is based off high school productivity and not college or professional potential. Stay tuned for our running back, wide receiver/pass catcher and defensive player lists that will be unveiled each week until August 1.

Last Year’s Stats

Thompson-Robinson completed 11 of 17 passes (64.7 percent) for 179 yards and one touchdown last season in limited duty for the Gaels. He also ran for 191 yards on 21 carries (9.1 yards per carry), caught five passes for 54 yards and had three TDs.

What they are saying?

— “Physically, he’s No. 1,” one Sunrise Region football coach said. “If you’re looking for a prototype, he’s that guy. But I haven’t seen him in live-action against good teams. I think he’s a stud.”

— “I was actually more impressed of (Gorman’s) backup kid (than Tate Martell),” one Sunset Region football coach said. “He’s raw throwing the ball and can make some poor decisions, but he’s an insane athlete.”

— “He’s got a lot of upside and has the measurables,” one Sunrise Region football coach said. “But he hasn’t done it against live defenses.”

— “That kid is good,” one Sunrise Region football coach said. “I saw him in a passing league. He’s going to be a really great player.”
