Expert Analysis

The Trojans passing attack was paced by extremely efficient output by Roman Blanks Roman Blanks 6'2" | 200 lbs | QB St. Thomas Aquinas | 2025 State NJ . Last year Blanks was 81/122 (66%) for 1253 yards. His most impressive stat, however, was his 14 touchdown tosses on the season when compared to his 1 interception. Blanks has the savviness and ability to put touch on the ball when he needs it. Although he is not really asked to run, Blanks is asked to move the pocket – and effectively roll out to either side, reset his feet, and throw a solid ball. When he is in doubt, Blank will err on the side of giving his athletic playmakers a shot and aim high. Blanks could get more mustard on his throws as he focuses on improving his core and working torque into his lower body upon throwing the ball.

Roman Blanks Roman Blanks 6'2" | 200 lbs | QB St. Thomas Aquinas | 2025 State NJ of the Keyport Red Raiders is physically built to start varsity football. At 6’2″ 200lbs there is little that this spring-time baseball player cannot do on the gridiron. Blanks went 32/78 with 473 yards through the air, throwing 4 TDs and 4 Ints. He also slashed 56/177/4 on the ground. Defensively, Blanks made 42 tackles (6 for a loss), 2 FF, and 3 sacks.
Many of Blanks’ highlights are of him being on the play’s backside. From this we see that he pursues very well and knows to punch the ball out if in a chasing position. This is a rare occurrence though, as Blanks takes great angles of pursuit. Tackling is one of Blanks strong suits too, as he executes textbook shoulder-roll tackles time and time again. Blanks has a strong sense of the game too, correctly rolling coverage zones as a QB rolls out and cuts the field in half. As a true threat to make a play on either the keep or the give, Blanks plays frontside option well and makes the QB’s reads extremely difficult. So young a player, one day colleges will want to see film on how he addresses plays when it is ran at him. Being quick to read his keys and aggressive will make Blanks sure to pop on tape in this regard.
Given how many ways he impacts the game, Blanks is as young and as exciting a player there is as he enters his junior year. The size, production, and tape supports this. Not sure what he will be recruited to play, but he inevitably will be recruited.
