Zach Mettenberger
6-foot-5, 247-pounds
Watkinsville, Ga.
Breakdown: Mettenberger’s size and arm strength make him the
ideal pro-style quarterback for offensive coordinator Gary Crowton.
He’s listed on the Butler Community College roster at
6-foot-5, 247-pounds, but he’s now dropped into the 230-range.
He can make all the throws, with good touch when finding
holes in zones and going over the top in man coverage. His size allows him to
see the field clearly, and seldom are defensive linemen able to get their hands
on his passes.
In high school he often scrambled when protection broke
down, but coaches are impressed with how much he’s improved his pocket presence
between time at Georgia and Butler CC. He has great patience, and when he rolls
out he becomes very effective going to his right.
Go below for highlights from his 2010 season at Butler
Community College as well as footage from his senior season at Oconee County
High in Watkinsville, Ga.
