Who Will Win the 2021 WPIAL Passing Title?
The race for the WPIAL passing title has seen some historic seasons in recent years. In 2018, Sto-Rox junior Eric Wilson became the first player in WPIAL history to throw for over 3000 yards in the regular season. Wilson threw for 3003 yards and 38 TDs and was expected to defend his title in 2019 but was edged by South Fayette’s Naman Alemada by just 6 yards. Last year, with a shortened regular season, Armstrong sophomore Cadin Olsen exploded for 2000 yards and 23 TDs in just 7 games. It may be fair to dub 2021 “The Year of the Quarterback” as 5 of the Top 10 passers from last season are back. This is a group loaded with talent to put up some serious numbers.
