Not many athletes can do that, much less a quarterback. The Jackson, Alabama native stands 6’3″, 190 pounds, and apparently possesses other-worldly hops.
While showing talent on the court, his best skill is on the gridiron. Duckworth led Jackson High School to an 11-1 record as the starter during his sophomore season in 2023, advancing to the quarterfinals of Alabama’s 4A state playoffs.
Duckworth completed 118 of 196 passes for 1,971 yards and 27 touchdowns with only four interceptions. He also compiled 371 yards and five TDs with his legs.
He took his game to another level this past season, improving his completion percentage while throwing for 3,439 yards and 39 TDs vs. 10 interceptions while rushing for 12 scores and another 648 yards.
