For the second year in a row the Berkeley Gold Eagles program proved to be the home of the 14U Quarterback with the most prototypical size at the tryout. Last year it was current Red Bank Catholic freshman CJ Gourley CJ Gourley 6'3" | 215 lbs | QB/ATH Red Bank Catholic | 2030 NJ , and this year it is Brayden Paulski passing the eye test right away at QB. Listed on the roster at 6’1″ and 160 pounds, Paluski looks like a million bucks and appeared to have the biggest arm of the group.

As the first session of the 12U Jersey Shore Conference All-Stars tryout wound down, I saw Paluski on the sideline getting loose and his size immediately jumped out at me. Certainly in the neighborhood of 6-foot, he had adequate weight on his frame as well. His build and overall athleticism lends itself to playing nearly any skill position on the field. I’m not sure where exactly he ends up — possibly as a Tight End/Edge/Linebacker type — but there is a considerable upside here.
