  • Draft Prospect: QB – Riley Ferguson
    Draft Prospect: QB – Riley Ferguson Riley Ferguson, der Quarterback der Memphis Tigers, ist der erste Late-Rounder den wir euch vorstellen möchten. Von Experten wird Ferguson als 9. bester Quarterback der vergangenen Saison geranked. Doch wer ist Riley Ferguson eigentlich? Der 23 jährige Ferguson (19.01.1995) begann seine Football Karriere an der David W. Butler High School in Memphis, North Carolina. Bei den Butler Bulldogs übernahm er nach Kurzeinsätzen in seinem Freshman Jahr schon als Sophomore die Rolle des Starting Quarterbacks. Seitdem steigerten sich seine Leistungen und vor allem seine Touchdown-Ausbeute. Bereits 2011 als Junior, in seinem dritten Jahr, sorgte Riley Ferguson mit 3.345 Passing Yards und 48 Touchdowns national für Schlagzeilen. In seiner Senior Saison schaffte er es dann zu soliden 2.173 Yards und 25 Touchdowns. In seiner Zeit bei den Butler Bulldogs gewann er zwei State Titel und den QB MVP Award im Athens Nike Camp, was zu dieser Zeit für einen Underclassman undenkbar war. Schließlich wurde er aufgrund seiner herausragenden Leistungen als 4 Sterne Rekrut und 7. bester Quarterback des Landes in der 2013er Klasse geranked. All das sorgte dafür, dass er schon weit vor dem Ende seiner Highschool Zeit, einige Stipendien von großen Colleges angeboten bekam. Allen voran der LSU, Michigan, Virginia Tech und der Clemson Tide. Entschieden hat sich Riley Ferguson dann doch für Tennessee wo erTyler Bray (Kansas City Chiefs) als Starter ablösen sollte. Als er dann zum Start der College- Saison endlich zu seinem neuen Team stoßen konnte, lief es für Ferguson jedoch alles andere als gut. Bei Tennessee war er zu dieser Zeit neben Justin Worley (FA), Nathan Peterman (Buffalo Bills) und Joshua Dobbs (Pittsburgh Steelers) der 4te Quarterback im Kampf um die Rolle als Starter.

  • Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: John Manzo (586-713-9347) GATORADE® NATIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR: JT DANIELS Houston Texans Quarterback Surprises Standout with Elite Honor Santa Ana, Calif. (December 19, 2017) – In its 33rd year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company today announced JT Daniels of Mater Dei High School (Santa Ana, Calif.) as its 2017-18 Gatorade National Football Player of the Year. Daniels was surprised with the news by Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. Check out the surprise video here. “JT really deserves to be this year’s Gatorade National Football Player of the Year because he represents everything the award stands for,” said Watson. “Not only has JT excelled on the field, but he’s also a good student and a positive role model in the community. I’m excited to follow his career and watch all the things he will accomplish in the future.” The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Daniels as the nation’s best high school football player. A national advisory panel comprised of sport-specific experts and sports journalists helped select JT from nearly 1 million high school football players nationwide. Daniels is now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade Male High School Athlete of the Year award, to be presented at a special ceremony prior to The ESPY Awards in July. The state’s returning Gatorade Player of the Year, the 6-foot-1, 205-pound junior quarterback had led the Monarchs to a 15-0 record and the CIF state championship.
