2028 MA QB Christopher Vargas is a Buckeye!!!

He must be that good that nobody on this board even asked if he was mobile.

I can’t remember the last time mobility wasn’t a topic of discussion in a QB commits thread.

We’re gettin’ old.

From 11W:

The No. 6 overall prospect in the class, Vargas is a gifted pocket passer who’s demonstrated the ability to throw the ball with accuracy to all areas of the field. Measuring in at 6-foot-5 and 205 pounds, Vargas also has the mobility to extend plays outside of the pocket with his legs, though he’s only run the ball sparingly in his high school career.

Vargas is impressed by Ryan Day’s track record of quarterback development, and will now look to follow in the footsteps of the former Ohio State quarterback he models his game after — two-time Heisman Trophy finalist and NFL first-round draft pick C.J. Stroud.

Everything I read says he is a "pocket passer"; I googled and got this too:

Google AI: Five-star Ohio State 2028 quarterback commit Christopher Vargas operates primarily as a traditional pocket passer at St. John's Prep in Danvers, Massachusetts. Official high school stat profiles focus heavily on his elite passing metrics rather than his rushing totals, as scouting reports classify him as a pro-style pocket orchestrator rather than a dual-threat runner.

High School Career Passing Stats

• • Freshman Year (2024): 1,311 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, 3 interceptions
  • Sophomore Year (2025): 2,038 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, 3 interceptions (66.7% completion rate)
  • Total Through Two Seasons: 3,349 passing yards and 41 passing touchdowns

Rushing Profile

• • Playing Style: Drop-back pocket passer
  • Rushing Statistics: Official media and scouting networks (like 247Sports and Rivals) do not track or emphasize rushing yard totals for Vargas, noting that he rarely accumulates significant ground numbers outside of avoiding pressure or executing standard short-yardage mechanics.
