It’s rare to see a freshman starting at quarterback at the high-school level. Usually, they must contend with a lack of size and maturity, and of course the pressure the position holds.
Sure, freshmen have had success when put in that role in past years, including Jayru Campbell when he helped Detroit Cass Tech to a Division 1 state championship back in 2011, and then Dante Moore last fall when he helped Detroit King win the PSL title and advance to the Division 2 state championship game.
But, Campbell and Moore had 7-on-7 competition during the summer to gain tremendous chemistry with their receivers while facing defenses.
