It is.

weird double hitch thing before he releases on almost anything longer than 10 yards. Maybe intentional, but doesn't seem to be a pump fake so much as just a crutch/flaw in his throwing motion. On the scramble, he does at least look to throw it, but the motion there is super awkward it seems

His motion was the only real negative I could find in his tape as well. It is funky, but it wouldn't concern me for a couple of reasons:

1. He's a freshman and he has three offseasons full of tutoring and camps to try to smooth it out.

2. When talking about a college QB prospect, feel for the game (can he command an offense and read the field) and physical tools (can he make the throws, does he have decent size) are far more important than mechanics. He will need to fix it if he wants to be a real NFL prospect.
