He also puts immense pressure on the quarterback, even when matched up with elite offensive linemen. Scouts and D1 programs everywhere should be watching Jordan Schuler closely, as he is sure to have another breakout season during the Fall.

Nate Kurisky Nate Kurisky 6'3" | 225 lbs | TE Gonzaga | 2022 State MD is ready for the college game today, and he still has an entire Fall season left to improve and get better.

He’s able to impact both the rushing and passing games so much that Nate could potentially be the Gonzaga program’s most important player in the Fall. Nate Kurisky Nate Kurisky 6'3" | 225 lbs | TE Gonzaga | 2022 State MD certainly has D1 offers and the only question that remains is- where will he choose to play at the next level?
2023 6’0 190 QB Carson Petitbon Carson Petitbon 5'10" | 170 lbs | QB St. Marys | 2023 State MD – Gonzaga
Carson Petitbon Carson Petitbon 5'10" | 170 lbs | QB St. Marys | 2023 State MD is the future of this Gonzaga Purple Eagles program, and he consistently showed flashes of greatness during the Spring season. His pure arm talent is off of the charts, and he’s already showing signs of maturity when going through his progressions. He rarely turns the ball over, but if he does, then he’s the type of quarterback to go and make the tackle himself. Carson is a leader on and off the field, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him lead Gonzaga to a WCAC title this Fall. D1 scouts and programs should take notice now before it’s too late.
