O-D QBs Highlighted by Air Force Player of the Year

The East team will be led by Air Force National Player of the Year Finalist Mauty Mauk of Kenton High School, a 6-2 195-pound Missouri commitment. Mauk led the nation in passing, finishing with 5,413 yards and 68 touchdowns as he led his team to the state championship game. Mauk is rated as the 22nd-best pro-style quarterback in the country by Rivals.com.

Joining him on the East roster will be Bartram Trail's Nate Peterman, a 6-2 210-pound Tennessee commitment who threw for 2,940 yards and 36 touchdowns as he led his team to the state title game against No. 2 ranked Armwood. Peterman flew up boards as a senior and is rated as the No. 10 pro-style quarterback by Rivals.com.

"Mauk and Peterman are both accurate passers who can sling the ball around, "said Offense-Defense Director of Player Personnel Josh Buchanan, "Mauk compares to Chase Daniel while Peterman's accuracy will make him a hard player to keep off the field at UT."

The West roster will feature Nebraska commitment Tommy Armstrong, a 6-2 210-pound prospect from Steele, Texas. Joining him will be Modesto Christian's Nate Sudfeld, a 6-5 215-pound Arizona commitment. Rivals.com rates Armstrong as the No. 8 dual-threat quarterback and Sudfeld is ranked as a 3-star pro-style passer by the service.

"Sudfeld brings NFL size and a big arm while Armstrong is an athletic specimen, "said Buchanan, "Both players are slightly under the radar but should be very good players at the next level."
