QUOTABLE: “He has great control of the huddle and our guys believe in him,” said Bryan Murray, associate head coach at DePaul Catholic. “He doesn’t get rattled at all and always leads by example. One thing we really love about him is that he really takes to our coaching. He’s always trying to improve and is never afraid of competition. He really is everything that you look for in a quarterback, both mentally and character-wise. His football IQ is pretty high. He understands the game really well.”
