From my SU football preview:
David Summers was going to go to Maryland, (our second opponent), but flipped to SU after their coaching scandal and Chance Amie transferred out. Per Syracuse.com, “is rated three stars and the No. 37 pro-style quarterback this cycle by 247Sports.com's composite rankings. As a senior at St. Joseph, Summers completed 56.4 percent of his passes for 2,631 yards, 39 touchdowns and 10 interceptions en route to being named Connecticut High School Coaches Association Player of the Year. He racked up 3,227 yards and 49 touchdowns during his junior year, completing 65.1 percent of his passes while throwing just five interceptions. Summers also logged five rushing touchdowns in each campaign. "I think one of the biggest things is he’s a competitor," St. Joseph head coach Joe Della Vecchia said. "That was one of the things that I found out about him early. He’s going out there to compete. He wants to win, he wants to be good. We talk about being great all the time at practice. He’s certainly one of those guys who wants to be the best on the field all the time."
His highlights: I love his ability to throw deep, even flicking the ball forward when off balance. He can throw fly balls or line drives equally well. His running highlights come at the end. He’s no Lamar Jackson or even an Eric Dungey but he does OK on the quarterback draw.
The newcomers for this year are:
Dillon Markiewicz is a 3 star from Texas, (which means he would have been a 4 star if he’d gone to Texas). He was ranked the #69 pro-style QB recruit in the country. “Markiewicz completed 72 percent of his passes for 4,187 yards, 45 touchdowns and six interceptions during his senior season. He also ran for seven scores” (Syracuse.com) I’ll take that, thank you. We out-recruited Boise State to get him, which says something about his ability. Here are his senior highlights:
Senior Season Highlights (12 Games)
I like his mobility, his ability to make decisions and throw on the run and his quick release.
Luke McPhail is a preferred walk-on from Massachusetts, who is a ‘pro-style quarterback’. He was “the fifth most productive passer in Massachusetts history in touchdowns (85) and yards (7,195)” and the “All-New England Player of the Year”, which sounds pretty good to me. Here are his highlights:
Luke MacPhail Senior Highlights
He’s got good size, can make all the throws, can scramble to buy time and throw on the run and runs the ball with determination and some speed. I like how his long throws have some air under them and gives his receivers time to run under them. He also hits guys in stride. What more do you want?
Jacobian Morgan is a 3 star from Mississippi, (Which means he’d be a 4 star if he went to Mississippi). He was ranked the #79 pro-style QB recruit. “As a senior, threw for 2,487 yards and accounted for 30 touchdowns (27 passing, 3 rushing)”, (Cuse.com). ““Jacobian is a born leader,” (his coach Calvin) Bolton said. “Outstanding QB with a strong arm. He’s very knowledgeable at this position. Syracuse found a diamond in the rough.” His highlights:
Jacobian Morgan Senior QB
He’s good at throwing the long ball and giving his receivers a chance to run under it. His short passes have a bit of a loop too them, as well, which is not always a good thing. The pace of the offense seemed a little slower than with Markiewicz, who looks like had has a better fastball. I didn’t see a lot of running in this clip.
Nunes expects all three true freshmen to redshirt this year. We’ll see…
He won’t be on this year’s team but Justin Lamson, a 6-3 210, 3 star from California, (which means that he’d be a 4 star if he went to USC), will be competing with these guys next year in race to eventually replace DeVito, who will be a senior by then, so I decided to include him. He’s rated the #31 dual-threat QB in his class. “He accounted for 3,576 total yards and 29 total touchdowns as a junior for Oak Ridge, completing 66.3% of his passes for 3,114 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Lamson added 462 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 134 carries.” (Syracuse.com) Here are his highlights:
Junior Season 2019
He’s certainly much more run-conscious than the others and showed the ability to create and make lemonade, (or orange Juice?) out of lemons. Some people compare him to Eric Dungey and that’s not a negative but my impression from the numbers Dino’s teams put up at Eastern Illinois and Bowling Green that he prefers the Tommy DeVito type: a guy who will pick you apart from the pocket and occasionally burn you with a QB draw but who tends to avoid physical contact if he can to stay healthy. At least we’ve got the old Dungey playbook if we need it.
It will be interesting to see the completion between these guys over the next couple of years. It will also be interesting to see how aggressively the coaching staff tries to recruit someone more highly rated. Are they satisfied with this group?
