Jackson Failla Jackson Failla 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Phillips Exeter Academy | 2027 New E is another player with good football bloodlines. His father Paul was a two-sport athlete (football and baseball) at Notre Dame, where he served as a backup quarterback to Rick Mirer and Kevin McDougal. Failla has offers from Brown and North Carolina, and is receiving interest from many Power 4 schools, including Virginia Tech, Syracuse and Northwestern. He moved from Pennsylvania to the Chicago area and played for Nazareth Academy last season. He’ll attend Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire next fall. Failla has a strong arm, has patience in the pocket, sees the field well, is accurate and usually delivers the ball on time. He passed for 2,116 yards and 26 touchdowns as a senior. Failla is also a strong runner, throws well on the run and can escape and create big plays with his feet when the pocket collapses. Failla will sometimes deliver the ball off his back foot when there is time and room to step and throw. Continued work with a coach who knows the quarteback position will help improve his throwing mechancis and footwork, and add to an exceptional skill-set.
