Continue ReadingI don’t think most people appreciate how hard it is to be a starting QB at such a young age. Your expected to be a leader when you’re younger than the people your leading. Trying to beef up in the weight room, have command of an offense and keeping your grades up while your peers are develping at their own pace in JV with little or no expectations until their Junior seasons. I know it’s tough guys, but these reps as a sophomore will serve you well as a future starter and give you a leg up in recruiting.
Patrick Grusser Patrick Grusser 6'2" | 190 lbs | QB St. Joes Regional | 2024 State NJ , DePaul
Patrick has great size at 6’2, 190 pounds and an advanced skillset for a sophomore. He throws into small windows for tough completions, especially over the middle. He has nice touch on his deep ball, enabling him to drop passes in the bucket for those pretty over the shoulder throws. He’s a good athlete as well, but I especially like seeing him calmly read through his progressions to keep drives alive. I can only imagine what he’ll put together as the full time starter this season.

Deangello Conquest, Overbrook
Deangello led all 2024 quarterbacks with 1805 yards passing on 63% completion percentage and 21 total TD’s in only 10 games. He went over 250 yards twice last season including a 5 Touchdown pass performance vs. Gloucester Catholic. The combination of already being 6’2 with a feathery touch on his deep ball and his passing numbers putting him in the top 25 in the state, he’s already drawing D1 interest.

Ayden Shansey, Burlington City
You aren’t gonna find a much more talented prospect than Ayden. He’s 6’2, incredibly athletic and accurate on the run. He can really push the ball downfield, as indicated by his 17 yard per catch average and 13 TDs. To add to how dangerous he is, he also ran for 506 yards and 4 touchdown, all while starting only 8 games. We’re expecting big year for Ayden.

Connor Leary, Highland
Connor has a decisiveness to his delivery and nice velocity on his passes that allows for completions in small widows. I mean throws that are on time between two or three defenders. There’s a real command of the offense in his game. Connor is often reading multiple levels of a route combination where most young QBs wouldn’t be expected to make the right throw, but he makes it happen. This kind of complexity at an early stage in his career is going to serve him well in upcoming seasons.

Mark Augello Mark Augello 6'0" | 145 lbs | QB Freehold Twp | 2024 NJ , Freehold
Mark has a talent for ball placement, always landing passes away from defenders and up field to allow his receivers yards after the catch opportunities. So many yards after the catch that he averaged 12 yards a completion and one of the top yards per game averages in the state with 186. He’s very accurate on the run and directs the offense in the scramble with a cool much beyond his years. Looking forward to seeing more of his game in the future.

Dante Viccharelli Dante Viccharelli 6'0" | 160 lbs | QB Pennsauken | 2024 State NJ , Pennsauken
With 14 touchdown passes and 17 yards per completion, you can imagine Dante throws a very pretty long ball. He trusts his receivers, and has good ball placement leading for run after the catch plays for his offense. Twice last season he threw for over 200 yards and including a 4 touchdowns performance to lead Pennsauken to a playoff victory vs. Central Regional. 2023 looks bright for the Indians.
