Best QB to NEVER win State
- Thread starter LWN_Pheonix
- Start date
At the risk of dating myself, Mike Tomczak from TF North, maybe Class of '82. He went on to a high-profile career at The Ohio State before joining the Bears undrafted for a handful of years. During the latter time, he had an NFL-record of winning his first 10 starts. After bouncing to a couple other teams, he went 10-5 in his 15 starts with the Steelers in '96. Few HS QBs at that time had an arm any where near what he had, nor got to throw as much. Didn't hurt that his Dad was the Meteor Head Coach, either, so Mike could really air it out - and he DID land many bombs.
Luke Lehnen of Chatham Glenwood, who played in in four straight Division III National Title Games at North Central winning twice.
McNabb got a Ring as the Sophomore backup QB but yes he never won as a Starter
Could also say Rittenhouse for SF. That 2020 team had a very real shot at winning it all before Covid screwed everything up.
3x all-area, 2x conference player of the year at St. Francis and playing in the FCS title game tomorrow night.
How about the winningest QB in the history of NCAA D1 football, Mark Gronowski?
Edgy is a TF North alum with Tomczak
Good thing I only praised Mike T. and did not disrespect either TFN or Cal City. Starting '26 in the Free Forum doghouse=not good.
Any confirmation out there on plausible Jonas WIlliams news that he graduated early, will be at USC for spring semester/ball with NIL money reaching into 7 figures? Seemingly a natural progression, actually, in many cases these days.
Hope so. Get your money young man.
Lot of people think it's a state school, it's not, it's private and very difficult and selective to get into if you're not a world class athlete....See Lori Laughlin's daughter and what they did to get her in

I'll add Prospect's Jeff Francis to the mix. I believe class of '83 or '84. Went on to star at Tennessee, including an Orange Bowl victory, and was drafted by the Oakland Raiders. He just didn't have the support around him at Prospect. Lot's of shootouts though.
Riley Lees of Libertyville, I believe he's the first and only QB to pass for over 2,000 yards and rush for over 2,000 yards in a season.
