Expert Analysis
Caleb Holfoth | Prep Redzone Scout
Pinto was Staten Islands best QB prospect this past year so no surprise he ends up staying close to home. Pinto has a strong arm and is very athletic with the ability to throw on the run. He played in a very tough NYCHSFL AAA division and still showcased he could be one of the top playmakers in the state.

The three year starter for Monsignor Farrell is looking to have a big senior season. He is one of the most experienced and mature quarterbacks in this league. Pinto will take the next step during his senior year and he has a good supporting cast including star receiver Nick Souffrin Nick Souffrin 6'1" | 190 lbs | WR Monsignor Farrell | 2024 State NY . He’ll be an exciting player this season in a revamped Farrell offense

Two things that jumped out to me about Pinto were both related to his arm strength. The New Yorker threw total bullets all over the field. Whether it was short, intermediate, or deep routes, he was letting it rip. However, the one pattern he appeared most adept at throwing was the out route. He threw it with confidence as he cast a rope anticipating where his receiver would be before he snapped off his route. From there, the ball was often in perfect position for the receiver to catch it in a full-speed stride and turn up field for YAC.

The only way you can hope to throttle this trio is to hope the man behind center is having a rough day. Said man will more than likely be Cristian Pinto Cristian Pinto 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Monsignor Farrell | 2024 State NY , ranked as the seventh-best passer in his class by Caleb Holfoth. I’m entirely unfamiliar with Pinto or his tape, yet I trust Holfoth’s judgment. Pair the trio with a top-ten passer out of New York and you have what should be one of the more potent 7v7 attacks present this weekend. Here’s what Holfoth had to say on the junior quarterback in a recent post.rn
Souffrin is the only player who was in the Top 10 receiving yards for the CHSFL last season that returns and Pinto looks to take advantage of a large 2023 quarterback class leaving the CHSFL and compete to be the best quarterback in the Catholic League. Pinto is confident throwing in tight windows and does a really good job of using his athleticism and quickness to create off broken plays.
