A top high school recruit in 2019. Has a strong gun for an arm. Has impressed and become a more accurate passer. Has three full years of starting experience. A competitor who plays big in the fourth quarter. Lacks ideal height and speed, not much of a runner. Gets happy-feet against the rush and tends to leave the pocket too soon at times.

Ritter has excellent arm strength puts zip on his throws. Can place the ball into tight windows. Moves well in the pocket and is elusive. A competitor with toughness, will stand in the pocket and take a hit. He does need to improve his accuracy, has too many underthrows and overthrows. Could also put more touch on his throws.

5. Matt Corral*
6-1, 205, 4.75, Ole Miss

Matt played well in the 2020 season under coach Lane Kiffin. Also a dangerous runner with good skill-set and arm talent. A naturally talented passer, athletic and aggressive, will attack a defense. He is undersized however and plays in a college system that inflates his stats. A gun-slinger which can cause more interceptions.
