Arizona sleeper QB picking up steam
There is a sleeper quarterback out in the Grand Canyon State who is beginning to get picked up on the radar due to getting his tapes out to a few select schools. Look for his stock to creep up more once his next batch of tapes go.
The sleeper quarterback to keep your eye on Kyle Newhall-Caballero (6-3, 195, 4.7) from Gilbert, Ariz.

Newhall-Caballero earned first-team all-region and 5A all-state honorable mention honors as a junior after throwing for 2,230 yards and 20 touchdowns while hitting on 60 percent of his passes.
What makes his statistics pretty impressive is plays for a team that doesn't like to throw the ball much. Having Newhall-Caballero as Gilbert's quarterback kind of changed things some, but still they don't throw as much as most passing schools.
Newhall-Caballero is currently being recruited and invited to camps by Nebraska, Washington, ASU, and Stanford. The interesting thing is these four schools are the only one's to have seen film on him yet.
The scouting report on Newhall-Caballero is he has great feet and he is always in position to throw. The ball comes out quickly and he has tremendous accuracy. He also has excellent work ethic and has worked on family dairy his whole life.
"Kyle is a tough competitor," Kyle Newhall-Caballero's former coach John Shea said. "When the game is on the line Kyle wants the ball in his hands. He loves to win."
The only question mark is overall arm strength. He does not have a John Elway or Brett Favre type arm it is more of an Andrew Walter, Matt Leinart type, he's better known as a touch passer.
Newhall-Caballero is extremely intelligent and carries 4.66 GPA. He is ranked fifth out of 758 students in his class.
An excellent all-around athlete, besides football, Newhall-Caballero plays varsity basketball and baseball.
