Cole Spears was 83/118 for 1,218 yards 14 TDs in 2022. Oh and by the way, he missed a bunch of games with a torn ACL mid season. Cole is like your favorite mechanic. He keeps the motor running for the Red Tornado offense and when he’s on, there’s no miss. He’s a steady, get to the finish line QB. His poise in the pocket is calm and cool. A good, steady set of mechanics helps him put the ball where it needs to be. He helped lead Mt. Carmel to a 12-1 record last season. Look for the Red Tornado defense to continue to put up numbers with Cole at the wheel.

Head coach John Darrah says “Cole is an amazing leader & outstanding athlete. He was having an incredible season in his 1st year as a starting QB with over an 80% completion rate through his first 5 games before being sidelined with a torn ACL. Defying all odds Cole returned to play through the injury in week 9. He had surgery after the season & is on pace to return by the start of the 2023 season. He was truly an inspiration to our team”.
