Reminds Us Of

Brock Purdy
Brock Purdy
QB / 6-1 / 212
Iowa StateIowa State · HS Class of 2018
San Francisco2022 Draft · Rnd 7 · Pick 262

Kenny Michey's compact build and ability to make improvisational plays from within the pocket remind us of Brock Purdy. Minchey is taller than Purdy, while Purdy was more productive and more of a run threat at the high school level.

Kenny Minchey Scouting Summary
Charles Power
06/22/22

Polished, consistent passer with feel for the game. Has a compact build at 6-foot-1, 201 pounds with a 10-inch hand. Tests as a good athlete for the position, running a 4.78 second 40-yard dash, a 4.32 second shuttle and jumping 37 inches in the vertical prior to his senior season. Completed 61.3 percent of his passes for 3,280 yards and 32 touchdowns against 9 picks as a junior. A steady, consistent passer on both Friday nights and in the camp setting. Able to replicate throws from different platforms and in the face of pressure. Negotiates space in the pocket well and shows a good feel for the pass rush. Arm strength looks to be better in the camp setting than at times on Friday nights. Can continue making more plays with his legs. Longer back stroke within his throwing motion that can show up in game settings. Will not wow you with his physical tools relative to other blue-chip quarterbacks, but presents a well-rounded skill set, particularly as a passer.

Personal Life

He threw for 3,280 yards and 32 touchdowns, leading the team to the state semifinals for the first team in school history. “He’s changed our program for the better, and not just on the field,” Pope John Paul II head coach Brian Sneed told Main Street Preps. Minchey says his hobbies include training and watching sports. He is the son of Tomeka and Kennith Minchey Sr. He has two siblings named Kayla and Kaesyn.
