has rewritten the Edison record books. He concludes his prep career as Edison’s leader in: career- and single-season passing yards, career- and single-season touchdown passes, 5th in career rushing yards, 5th in single-season rushing touchdowns, and 2nd in career rushing touchdowns. These stats would be even gaudier had he not missed two games his senior year and had he started before the fifth game of the season as a freshman. This dual-threat QB plays with uncanny moxie and pocket presence/mobility. He often looks for the downfield home run play, but has the presence of mind to tuck-it-and-run when the big play is not there. This translates to two things: big plays (12.5 YPC) and ball security (4:1 TD-to-Int ratio).
The younger Yascko continues a family legacy, as his father Matt Sr., is an EHS alumn who was a star WR from their last state championship team. Dad also a former state championship winning head coach at Carteret and currently serves as Edison’s offensive coordinator.
