Apollo Neloms is a talented young dual-threat QB from the Heir Academy 9U squad out of Washington. We first got the opportunity to see him at the D1xRNR National Combine, where he put together an impressive performance. Apollo ran a 6.06 40-yard dash, posted a 5.56 shuttle, and recorded a 79-inch broad jump—strong numbers for a quarterback in the 9U division.

During positional work and 1v1s, Apollo showed the ability to deliver several pinpoint passes, impressing our scouts with both his arm talent and mechanics. He had already earned his invite to the Super Showcase prior to the combine, but his performance only confirmed why he deserved to be there.

At the showcase, we got to see Apollo begin to gel with teammates from across the country during practice, showing good leadership and command for a young quarterback. In the scrimmage, he delivered several well-placed passes that unfortunately resulted in drops, but his accuracy and ball placement were still evident on tape. The same trend continued during the game action, where flashes of his ability to place the football stood out.

One area we’d like to see Apollo continue to develop is game management and patience in the passing game. At times he looked to win the game with the deep ball, targeting downfield shots frequently. As he continues to develop, working the short and intermediate passing game will naturally open up those deep opportunities.

With his current skill set, competitive drive, and natural talent, Apollo Neloms has a lot of upside and is definitely a young QB to keep an eye on in the coming years.
