He’s one of the best high school football players Long Island has ever seen.
And now he’s getting ready for the next level.

He led Notre Dame to an 11-2 season and an appearance in the Fiesta Bowl, during which he threw for a Fiesta Bowl-record 509 yards and five touchdowns.
His performance this lasts season, coupled with strong showings at the NFL Scouting Combine and East-West Shrine Bowl has helped his case to be drafted in the NFL.
