Words from quarterback coach Matt Ochmanowicz, ” RJ is an elite QB when it comes to foot work and ball placement, he throws tight spirals and can fit it through small windows. He also endures great vision in the run game with quick decisioning making. This is only his second year at varsity QB and I see a young man who’s focused and hungry, striving to improve his game everyday. ”

Head Coach Ernie Ellis kept it short and sweet about RJ saying, “He has all the tools to be great if he can put it all together”
