The WCAC has been highly competitive this year but now only one team reigns supreme over all of the rest. The Gonzaga Purple Eagles have been a formidable force to their opponents this year, and the reason is because they have no weaknesses. On both sides of the ball they are not just solid, but they’re dominant. We will now take a look at a few of this program’s star players.
<strong>2022 6’1 215 LB Jordan Schuler – Gonzaga </strong>
Jordan is lightning fast off the edge. There are few high school linebackers in the country that understand offensive schemes as well as Jordan, and he exemplifies this in his blitz timing and run defense. He also puts immense pressure on the quarterback, even when matched up with elite offensive linemen. Scouts and D1 programs everywhere should be watching Jordan Schuler closely, as he is sure to have another breakout season during the Fall.
<strong>2022 6’4 280 OL [player_tooltip player_id="90568" first="Cam" last="Wilson"] – Gonzaga </strong>
If you’re looking for an extremely effective offensive lineman then look no further than Cameron Wilson. Cam was unbelievably efficient in rush protection this Spring season, and he also has natural protective instincts. He will certainly get more playing time at left tackle next year too which will truly display Cam’s protective prowess. There’s no doubt that [player_tooltip player_id="90568" first="Cam" last="Wilson"] will make any collegiate offensive line a more dominant one.
<strong>2022 6’3 225 TE [player_tooltip player_id="90516" first="Nate" last="Kurisky"] – Gonzaga </strong>
[player_tooltip player_id="90516" first="Nate" last="Kurisky"] is ready for the college game today, and he still has an entire Fall season left to improve and get better. On offense, his ability to block on the O line as well as run routes and make huge catches really separates him from the pack. He’s able to impact both the rushing and passing games so much that Nate could potentially be the Gonzaga program’s most important player in the Fall. [player_tooltip player_id="90516" first="Nate" last="Kurisky"] certainly has D1 offers and the only question that remains is- where will he choose to play at the next level?
<strong>2023 6’0 190 QB [player_tooltip player_id="90654" first="Carson" last="Petitbon"] – Gonzaga </strong>
[player_tooltip player_id="90654" first="Carson" last="Petitbon"] is the future of this Gonzaga Purple Eagles program, and he consistently showed flashes of greatness during the Spring season. His pure arm talent is off of the charts, and he’s already showing signs of maturity when going through his progressions. He rarely turns the ball over, but if he does, then he’s the type of quarterback to go and make the tackle himself. Carson is a leader on and off the field, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him lead Gonzaga to a WCAC title this Fall. D1 scouts and programs should take notice now before it’s too late.
