I mean, he must be pretty damn good. He performed well against the best at the Elite 11 by all agencies.
“Baylor commit Austin Novosad shined bright early on at the Elite 11 Finals, finishing in the top five on each of the first two days of competition. He was particularly impressive in the pro day setting, throwing with accuracy and zip, despite the exhausting regiment. More importantly, at least throughout the first two days, was the level of consistency he displayed in every level of the passing game. He was arguably the top passer in short to intermediate throws throughout the week and showed a surprising knack for both deep touch and arm strength.”
“Austin Novosad assembled the afternoon's top performance thanks to his velocity, accuracy, and consistency with which he conducted his entire effort. The ball leapt out of Novosad's right hand throw after throw and rarely died at the back end. Novosad's consistent velocity cannot be overstated. He stood atop the group with zip fostered by a repeatedly smooth, quick delivery. Novosad won the 'Golden Gun' accuracy challenge in the 2023 group as he finished his pro day reps with terrific initial velocity, finishing spin, and ball placement, whether in the pocket or on the move.”
