I know the kid is also going to be playing lacrosse, but I believe this is the player Fran was referencing in his interview today — Joe Filardi. From what I’ve seen, his high school tape is extremely impressive and very polished, showing advanced mechanics, excellent field awareness, and a natural feel for the game. He looks like someone who could step in and make an immediate impact if given the opportunity.
Over the summer, he added the weight and strength he needed to handle the physical demands at the next level, which makes me even more confident in his ability to contribute right away. He’s a multi-sport athlete, which speaks not only to his athleticism but also to his competitive nature and coordination — traits that often translate well for quarterbacks.
If Rickie or Luka struggle at any point in the Georgia tech game , I would love to see Joe get a series or two on the field. He has the skill set to provide a spark for the offense and could really energize the team. Having a polished, physically ready quarterback like him waiting in the wings is a big asset, and I think he could make an immediate difference if the situation calls for it.
