Scout.com/247Sports Scouting Report
“Shrout was a late bloomer whose recruitment took off this winter. He didn’t start a game for Hart last year but had several impressive workouts and 7v7 performances and his talent was obvious. Shrout has a great frame with plenty of room to pack on an additional 20 pounds or so. His mechanics are about as good as you’ll see at the H.S level as he combines a tight, effortless release, always looks on balance and is comfortable rolling out and throwing to his right or left. It’s always a risk offering a quarterback with little game experience but we think Shrout is worth it. He’s hungry, shows a great work ethic off the field and has all the physical tools you want to see in a next level quarterback. He has that gym rat mentality that we know Coach Tui is big on, he’s a coachable kid and has plenty of upside to be a very successful quarterback at the next level.”
