Rise: #41 to #33

AJ was a dominant athlete on the field every Friday night the past years. The starting QB/S for Brookfield Central has shined on the offensive side of the ball in particular. His elite size has made him a battering ram with the ball in his hands, breaking tackles and churning out those tough yards. The senior hasn’t stopped growing either, checking in recently at 230 lbs. The mass hasn’t hindered the versatile athlete. He can hit the open field and take it the distance. The physically dominant senior has proven himself at the high school level and looks like a D1 level recruit. His most recent offer is from the FBS level, Ball State. So I’m excited to see where things go for AJ. Coaches, this is a dynamic athlete with the size, strength, and athleticism to carve out a role on your roster.

AJ is such a special prospect. He is completely selfless, doing whatever his team needed. The senior piled up 1,343 passing yards, 1,118 rushing yards, and scored 24 offensive TDs. He also has plenty of experience under his belt playing s safety in the past as well. AJ has built an elite frame, now 6’4″ 225 lbs and can still destroy a defense with his legs. We are talking both speed to get to the edge and quickness to pick through the front seven. The big man finishes runs like a TE, trying to run over defenders and break tackles. AJ has no hesitation when it comes to doing the dirty work and trying to earn those yards after contact. The senior is so strong too. The way he fought off tackles throughout the season to keep plays alive was so special.

I don’t think his home is necessarily at QB at the next level, but he is a high level talent. The kid is a playmaker and a gamer who finds a way to make positive things happen. This is the type of kid you want to add to your program and use to help build your culture too. I can’t recommend recruiting this kid enough.
