A prospect I came across late during the 2024 season, Manny Roberson Jr. Manny Roberson Jr. 5'8" | 145 lbs | QB Jackie Robinson Bears (Youth Program) | 2029 NJ had an excellent season helping the Jackie Robinson Bears to within one game of heading to the Pop Warner Super Bowl in Florida. Somewhat similar to Keeanu Darji (listed above) he’ll get the nod from me as a Dual-Threat Quarterback because he’s very quick and can run well, but it’s his arm that has me most excited. He’s on the smaller side in comparison to some of the other QBs in this writeup, yet still throws a better deep ball than some of them. I look forward to seeing him with a few more inches and more physical development–because the raw ability is there, no question.

Starting off in Essex County, I’ve had the name “Manny” down in my notes of prospects to check out, for literally weeks but wasn’t able to find out what his last name was until today–and I’m glad I did. On film Manny Roberson Jr. Manny Roberson Jr. 5'8" | 145 lbs | QB Jackie Robinson Bears (Youth Program) | 2029 NJ is one of the most exciting dual-threat QB’s I’ve come across in New Jersey for this 2029 class. While I don’t have measurements on height and weight, his ability checks out. He looks like a Running Back on designed QB-keepers by running low to the ground and using acceleration and vision to pick up valuable yards. He also can step back and launch the ball down field to his plethora of weapons on the outside. As of this moment, he has led the Jackie Robinson Bears to a Newark Pop Warner championship and is just one win away from taking the Brick City-based program to the Pop Warner National Championship tournament. It should be noted that he’s also the younger cousin of former DePaul Catholic All-State selection and current Kansas State QB Ta’Quan Roberson.
