Long had a season to remember as he ended the year with 2,638 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and 8 rushing touchdowns. Long gets the nod here not only due to some clutch performances on primetime stages. I thought he made improvements in terms of pocket awareness and decision-making. In addition, Champ is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the state even rushing for 3 touchdowns in a game against Paramus Catholic.
Also, Champ’s ability to push the ball downfield and connect with stud WR Zion Fowler Zion Fowler 6'1" | 185 lbs | WR St. Peter's Prep | 2023 State NJ consistently shows his aggressiveness and accuracy in the most game-altering parts of the field.
Highlights
Minicucci, by many scouts and media members, wasn’t impressed with his game going into the season. However, when the game’s magnitude rose, so did Minnicucci’s play and he ended the season with 2600 passing yards and 27 touchdowns. Nicholas gets the nod because of his play out of structure, decision-making in key games, and consistent winning.
Highlights
The state leader in passing yards gets the nod for his solid season. Leading the state in passing with 3,100 yards and 27 touchdowns, Zamot had some high moments with impressive plays out of structure flashing high-end potential. In addition, to capping off the season with a state title.
Ruffin burst onto the scene in a major way. Finishing the season with 2500 passing yards and 37 total touchdowns. Only a sophomore, Ruffin showed that he already is one of New Jersey’s top dual-threat quarterbacks. He has all the physical traits but needs to improve that accuracy to be an elite option.
Highlights
Burns had two performances that I was able to see and I came away impressed with his physical tools and his ability to drive the football down the field. In addition, Burns finished the year with 3354 total yards with 34 total touchdowns and had impressive playoff performances. Burns is an under-the-radar high upside quarterback prospect.
