Tavien St. Clair's physical traits and play style reminds us of Blaine Gabbert at the same stage. Gabbert was a bit bigger at the same stage. Both were big, athletic prospects who excelled in the camp setting. St. Clair was more productive while playing a lower level of competition in high school.

Tavien St. Clair Scouting Summary
Charles Power
07/22/24

Smooth passer with prototypical physical tools that point to one of the higher developmental upsides among quarterbacks in the 2025 cycle. Measured in at 6-foot-3.75, 225 pounds with a 9.5-inch hand at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Added 15 pounds during his junior year. Looks like the most physically-developed top quarterback in the 2025 cycle. Has smooth and tight mechanics as a passer. Touts an easily replicable release. Consistently throws a tight spiral. Mechanical foundation makes him a naturally accurate passer when his timing is right. Has a good arm and does not have to strain to generate ample velocity on his passes. A standout in the camp setting. Had a productive junior season, completing 70.6% of his passes for 3,083 yards (9.34 yards per attempt) and 37 touchdowns against 6 interceptions. Doubles as a solid runner who can pick up yards with his legs when called upon. Showed improvement with his on-field athleticism as a senior. Functional mobility gives him the ability to extend plays. Background as a three-sport athlete, also playing basketball and baseball before turning his focus on football. Shows above-the-rim bounce on the hardwood. Needs to continue honing his processing and decision-making. Internal clock can move fast at times and looks most comfortable throwing in the drill and on-air setting in live exposures to this point. Can let his throws hang at times when the game is moving fast. Does not face top competition at the high school level. Improvement with his timing will put him in a position to be one of the top prospects in the cycle due to his significant physical upside and skilled passing ability.

Personal Life

Tavien St. Clair prides himself on being from Bellefontaine, Ohio. In fact, he's said using his platform as one of the top players in the Class of 2025 to bring attention to his hometown and open the doors for others. St. Clair is hardly known as a hotbed for college football talent, and he is the first major star to come from Bellefontaine in decades. “I’ve thought about this for a long time – since I was a little kid," St. Clair told the Dayton News. "And now that it’s happening, it’s cool because nobody has really done it from Bellefontaine. The last time we had somebody go to an FBS program was in like the 60s. The internet wasn’t really a thing, social media wasn’t really a thing, so it’s cool.” Even with all the attention as one of the top players in the country, St. Clair has remained grounded. “He’s the same young man today that he was three years ago walking in here ... His kindness, his humility,” Bellefontaine coach Jason Brown told Cleveland.com. “He is exactly the same kid – except now he can drive. And honestly, that’s what I’m most proud of.”
