is a QB that I believe will gain a lot more recognition by the end of the 2024 season. Andrew is a playmaker in the truest sense, making clutch throws deep downfield all season long in 2023. While he may not be as polished as other top QBs in his class, Andrew makes up for it with gutsy throws, a powerful arm, and mobile tendencies.
Andrew’s deep ball precision allowed Newark Central’s offense to march downfield in large chunks as they picked up 20 to 30 yards at a time. Andrew had great chemistry with his receivers and really trusts them to come down with it when he throws into tight coverage. Not only could he trust in his receivers, but a lot of trust in his throwing capabilities as well. Andrew was often able to throw it on time with his receivers on the run, letting them run underneath it, and also could toss the ball high to let his guys out jump the defender for it. There is a lot to like in Andrew’s game, and we will learn in 2024 how good he really can be.

led his team to a 5-4 record with 1103 yards through the air. Finding his receivers 10 times in the end zone, Andrew was elite in his ability to deliver throws over his receiver’s shoulder and out of range of the defender. As he stands tall in the pocket, Andrew’s poise is on full display. He is able to hit his receiver’s with precision as he evades the rush. A mobile threat as well, Andrew will be off and running entering 2024.
