2024 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about SPENCER RATTLER:
South Carolina | HT: 6002 | WT: 211 | 40 time: 4.95 | Arm: 3100 | Hand: 0978 | Wing: 7434
Four-year starter. Spent three years at Oklahoma prior to transferring to South Carolina for his final two seasons. Following his redshirt season in 2019, Rattler burst onto the scene in 2020, winning the Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year Award and first-team All-Big 12 honors. He went 15-2 as a starter under Lincoln Riley. However, in 2021 he was benched week six for Caleb Williams. In total, Rattler started 42 games between the two programs. He won the team-MVP award both seasons with South Carolina and set a single season record for both completions and completion percentage. He is a gifted thrower with a lot of pro traits already developed in his game. The footwork, power created from his base, and pure arm talent all scream NFL starter. There is a lot of unknown to his game despite the heavy amount of experience. He rarely threw the ball deep and did not have a lot of success when doing so. He is undersized and does not have standout athleticism. Projects to a quality backup at the next level who has the arm talent and swagger to start if he can develop and hide the shortcomings he could not extinguish over the 42 college starts. Quick trigger, fast release with a tight, catchable spiral to all levels which can hide some of the pure arm power shortcomings. Shows proper touch to layer the ball between levels of the defense. Mechanically sound and keeps things cohesive from feet to arm. Plays brave and tough. Will extend plays with savvy movement traits and a good feel for space. Inconsistent across the board. Made several head scratching decisions, questioning whether or not he truly understands what he is looking at. Deep ball accuracy and power was never present for him. Struggles to make tight window throws when working middle of field. Lack of size is an even bigger issue because he lacks plus-athletic traits.
2023 Stats: 275/399, 3186 yds, 68.9%, 19 TD, 8 INT, 104 yds rushing, 4 TD, 147.7 QB rating. OSR:5/5. Draft projection: 4th/5th round
