Valentino is a 3 year varsity starter who has consistently put up impressive numbers. In a 2 week stretch this season he threw for 723 yards and 11 TD’s. He has a great arm with accuracy to complement that. His excellent decision making skills were shown week in and week out. By the end of his sophomore campaign he was a force to be reckoned with. One of Valentino’s most impressive skills is his ability to put the ball in in places where his receivers have the opportunity to create YAC. He continued to raise the bar week in and week out from his 1st varsity start. Which showed how much work he put in off the field to get to this level. Despite all this he remains unsigned, Valentino has a bright future ahead of him in this game and would be the perfect asset for a team looking to add a QB to takeover their offense. Take a look at his tape below.
