Jack Larriviere is making a name for himself at Jesuit High School in News Orleans, both on and off the football field. The junior quarterback has started for the first time in his career this season while splitting time under center. Thus far in 2020, Jack has thrown for 621 yards and six touchdowns while adding 185 yards and two more scores on the ground. Off the gridiron, this young man has completed all the requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout.
This 6’2”, 205-pound, prostyle quarterback does a great job of breaking opposing defenses by utilizing his high football IQ. He also possesses a strong and accurate arm to make throws all over the field. College programs are finding the Class of 2022 recruit drawing interest from several Ivy League schools and Kentucky. It’s only a matter of time before he receives his first college offer.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I sat down with this young Blue Jays quarterback to talk about his junior season and get an update on his recruiting process.
