Dean has the athletic acumen and size that should create a lot of intrigue for college evaluators at most levels. At 6’4″, and a long-running gait, Dean has the potential to be an impact player at QB or even receiver. During some of his action in 2023, Dean does show some upside making tough throws down the middle of the field. While his release point and arm slot are good, Dean needs to get much faster with getting the ball out. The 2025 signal-caller needs to improve his footwork in the pocket and generally get quicker moving laterally. There is plenty of potential for Dean though, but that needs to be realized. As a runner, he shows pretty good acceleration at 6’4, but would like to see him get lower with his pad level and finish off the runs breaking more tackles. There are flashes where you see the 2025 passer stand tall in the pocket, and deliver a dime 20 yards down the middle that will leave an impression on evaluators, but those throws just need to become more routine in 2024.
