Little 2026 QB production so far, but a developmental pocket passer with Oklahoma State ties
Deaton’s current on-field résumé is thin in the available data—just 6 passing yards, 0 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions—so the appeal is more about projection than production right now[1]. Recruiting information identifies him as a **pocket passer**, which suggests his value comes from operating from structure, processing quickly, and fitting into a timing-based offense rather than pure improvisation[3]. If you want a quarterback prospect with early-career upside and a defined passing profile, he is worth monitoring; if you need an immediate high-output playmaker, the stat line says he is still proving it[1][3].
