Few quarterbacks in 2A have been as dominant as Balafas to start the season. Completing 68% of his passes, he has thrown for 1,076 yards with 14 touchdowns to only 2 interceptions, establishing himself as one of the top arms in the small school circuit. Balafas is more than just a passer, he’s a dual-threat athlete with 258 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground. His ability to attack defenses through the air or with his legs makes him extremely difficult to contain. With his accuracy, decision making and versatility, Balafas has elevated his team’s offense into one of the most explosive in 2A. Expect him to continue leading his squad toward a deep playoff push while drawing the attention of recruiters.
