Coach says “Jackson Custer is our returning starter at quarterback. He was an honorable mention Lancaster-Lebanon Section I All Star last year where he was responsible for 15 TD’s through the air and on the ground. He has added 20 pounds in the weight room this offseason, while being a 3 sport athlete (Football, Basketball, Baseball). He has been leading our team throughout our spring and summer sessions. There has been a lot of interest in Jackson from college coaches in both football and baseball, highlighting his athleticism. His work ethic in the classroom is outstanding as he holds a 4.3 weighted GPA. He is our “field general” and a great deal of our success depends on him leading our team”.
