Background: Hailing from Grand Island, the 2028 Signal Caller is fresh off a solid season slinging the ball, and is amongst one of the best in the region.

Size: Standing at 5’10” 175-Pounds, Mantione displays a solid frame for a QB. He is on the lower side of both the height and weight chart, but his current frame is perfect for a QB.

Arm Accuracy/Strength: Mantione showcases the ability to launch the ball 40+ yards down the field, and hit all three levels with ease. His accuracy is on display as well, as downfield he is exceptional putting the ball on the money. Middle-Short passes he can improve accuracy on.

Footwork/Mechanics: His mechanics are pretty, and he showcases a beautiful touch on his throws while launching it downfield. His footwork is also solid, and outside the pocket we see exceptional footwork while throwing.

IQ: He showcases a high IQ, and he is a true play extender dual threat QB. He can distribute the ball easily and is consistently looking for open playmakers. I like his ability to avoid pressure in the pocket, and he keeps his area clean while throwing.

Final Word: Mantione is an exceptional QB, who will easily see improvement this season as a Junior. I like what he brings to the table with his IQ, and arm accuracy. His footwork and mechanics can use some work, but with two years to improve he is easily a player on the rise.

A dual threat QB in his first varsity season, Mantione was a second team Class A2 selection. He led the Vikings in passing (950 yards & 10 TDs) and rushing (569 yards & 6 scores). He has shown quality tape and is looking to be one of the top QB prospects for the class of 2028.

It was expected that Mantione’s first varsity season would be a breakout one. But he really displayed his athletic ability as an underdog. Anthony accounted for 176 of the Vikings offensive yards and 3 TDs (2 rushing and 1 passing to Aiden Galligan).
