[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Roman Jensen would have been one of the Mid-Penn’s top returning quarterbacks in 2022 with Red Land, but he told PennLive Monday evening that he is on the move.
The sophomore said he will attend and play for Maret School in Washington, D.C. in the fall. We were just looking to find a better academic and athletic opportunity,” Jensen said. “It’s going to be an adjustment, but I’m really looking forward to it.”

Jensen was 149-of-240 passing for 2,114 yards with 26 touchdowns and six interceptions for the Patriots last season.[/quote]

Wonder if he was recruited? He is not even from the area which is interesting.[/quote]

Lol. Of course he was recruited.

His dad appears to be an account executive for Hudl (the football analytics company) and has coached college and high school football. [/quote]
Maret football is surprisingly good considering the size of the school, facilities and league. They typically get a few players recruited every year with at least 1 DI. They had a UVa commit last year and even had a player make the NFL a while ago.[/quote]

Let’s not mislead anyone. Maret plays at the very lowest level of private school competition. (You did say “considering their league)

[b]Hard to imagine a football player developing with those team mates, competition and coaching. [/b]But occasionally blind squirrels do find acorns.

A D1 aspirant should go to the WCAC. Going to Maret is a significant risk.

De Matha typically has 10 to 20 seniors that go on to play college football, most on scholarships.[/quote]

That stuff does not matter as much as you think. The coaches recruit size, speed and strength not league or school. The difference between high school and college is big.

Not my experience or what I have observed over the years.

College coaches need to calibrate what they see on film and in person. Playing well against WCAC competition is a different thing than playing well against MAC teams.

Also, there are histories and relationships between the these top athletic schools and many colleges. It’s based on mutual long term benefit. If two athletes are close in attributes, the offer will go to the one that has played at the higher level school.

The system is biased against athletes from the smaller schools.[/quote]
