is an efficient quarterback for Avonworth. His ability to sit in the pocket and deliver the ball is impressive. He is especially excellent in play action. Avonworth runs the ball at a high rate, so Bellinger’s ability to use play action is excellent. He also has excellent accuracy as a passer. This is especially present when he is throwing the ball on in breaking routes. Bellinger and Avonworth want to avenge last year’s title game and win a state title. I expect a big game from Bellinger.
WPIAL CHAMPS!! Looking forward to keeping it rolling in the state playoffs.

is a playmaker for Avonworth. He passed for an outstanding 24 touchdowns vs. 1 interception. His ability to throw the ball on time with almost perfect accuracy is outstanding. An example is in Avonworth’s play-action passing game, where he has impeccable footwork and ball movement to make the fake and throw a perfect strike. Avonworth plays Freeport this week, and I expect Bellinger to continue his excellent play.

is an underrated athlete who plays quarterback for Avonworth. He has good footwork and mechanics in the pocket. He delivers a good football from the pocket. He shows excellent touch on the ball, especially on deep balls. The biggest area in which he excels is when he has to make plays with his feet. His ability to scramble around and find open receivers is excellent. He also shows good speed, and if he takes off to run, he can run for big plays. Bellinger is the ultimate gun slinger at quarterback and is a talented athlete who plays as a quarterback. I am excited to see how he plays as a senior.

‘s recent single-game cut-ups(Penn Cambria & Central Valley), it’s easy to make the assumption that NWL shouldn’t expect much out of Bellinger. Just four passes completed between two games (that are on tape). NWL would be setting itself up for failure if they take this young man’s talents lightly, I doubt they will. Taking a look at Bellinger’s updated tape, I see a more confident and experienced version of the underclassmen who landed on our ranks this time last year. If NWL lacks in coverage, if they sleep on passing concepts attempting to get behind coverage, Bellinger has the range, accuracy, and confidence to uncork balls downfield. Avonworth might be riding the hot hand, the rushing attack has led them to victories each of the last two weeks. NWL cannot assume Avonworth will attack them solely through the ground, they need to prepare for Bellinger tossing balls over the top via play action sets, along with keeping improv situations to a minimum.

99/150, 1,500+ yards, and 20+ TDs to his name, on a year that Avonworth narrowly missed going to Cumberland Valley in place of Belle Vernon. Boasts a lengthy five-minute tape that fully encapsulates what Bellinger brings to the Avonworth offense. First thing that stands out on tape is his decisiveness. The young man isn’t lost behind center, he isn’t lost pre/post snap, Bellinger calls the cadence, gets the snap, and has a clear plan on what he should be doing with the football. Probably the fastest snap-to-throw on this list. The brains and field sense is there. Good depth perception downfield especially considering he’s a bit undersized for the position. Brings his feet forward and sets quickly, a lot quicker than his upper body, so his release has to catch up. Leads to a snappy, slingshot release that has plenty of torque behind it despite his less-than-ideal weight. I don’t come across many more confident, comfortable, and purposeful QBs, especially underclassmen. I wouldn’t bet against this kid in terms of leading his team to deep playoff runs as a junior/senior. Looks seasoned and poised. Tough kid too, downfield accuracy is a major plus.

Carson is another promising QB in the ‘26 class. He has a quick release and is decisive with the ball. He executes play-action and RPOs with precision. He throws accurately with good timing on his passes. Carson has good placement on his throws and is an accurate passer on the run. He isn’t afraid to give his WRs a chance at the deep ball. He’s athletic enough to buy time scrambling while keeping his eyes downfield. Bellinger gets the ball out quickly on 3-step timing passes. He’s a competitor that gives his team a chance to win. The sophomore QB has been a big reason for Avonworth’s success this season in the first half of the year.
