Led by the guidance of former five-star quarterback and two-year Penn State starter, Anthony Morelli, local quarterback prospects have been able to perfect their craft before playing at the next level.

On a sunny day in Westfield, Indiana, his trainees ranging from 10 year old’s still learning the game to rising seniors holding division-one offers came together to display their talent in front of local college scouts and media.

Coached by recent X-Factor alums highlighted by Danny O’Neil (Cathedral, San Diego State) and Jace Stuckey (Triton Central, Eastern Michigan), the prospects went through a circuit of different passing drills from screens to deep posts.

Of all the talented quarterbacks at the camp it was hard not to miss the impressive display of HCC talent by 2026 Fishers QB Gage Sturgill, 2027 Brownsburg QB Oscar Frye and 2025 Zionsville QB Zachary Trent.

Gage Sturgill, 2026, Fishers

The 2026 quarterback came in for relief with two starts after 2024 QB Bennett Gorak suffered a injury prior to their Oct. 6 match-up against Westfield.

In his two starts, Sturgill showed plenty of flashes of what the future holds for Fishers as he went 27-48 with 344 yards and three touchdowns to just one interception.

During the camp, Sturgill was able to show off his quick drop back and strong arm while frequently making the correct reads.

While the rising junior will be protected by an inexperienced offensive line, with weapons such as 2025 WR Jon Anthony Hall, 2025 WR Denkota Fletcher and 2026 ATH Ryan Thembulembu the Tigers should once again have a humming offense.

Oscar Frye, 2027, Brownsburg

Already holding an offer from Miami (OH), Frye spent the past season sitting behind 2024 gunslinger Jake Dunn (Marian) while terrorizing defenses the the freshman level racking up 30 touchdowns to just two interceptions.

During camp, Frye lived up to the hype surrounding his name, showing off his silky-smooth release and inept feel for the ball. Although Frye may lack some strength on the ball, at 6’1″ 170 that zip and distance will come with age and experience.

The Brownsburg offense will have a complete overhaul as they graduate their top four receivers, top running back and quarterback. So, it is hard to say right now who Frye will have to rely on downfield, but a quarterback with his skillset raises the talent of the receivers around him.

Zachary Trent, 2025, Zionsville

A transfer from Carmel who threw a touchdown on his first and only varsity pass of his career thus far, Trent will be stepping into a Zionsville offense that returns their number one running back in 2026 Sam Manna as well as one of the top receivers in the state 2025 Eugene Hilton.

Standing at 6’2″ 205, Trent has a strong frame and uses every bit of it on his throws. Although there can be times where the strength can be uncontrollable at times when attacking the flats, the pure velocity and distance he can get on a ball makes up for any lack of touch.

Without any varsity experience it will be interesting to see how Trent can excel in Zionsville’s system, but with his strong arm and ability to throw on the run, I expect the Trent-to-Hilton connection to be lethal this Fall.

Moving outside the HCC, quarterbacks Connor Cruz and Jaydin Rivers each had strong showings as well.

Connor Cruz, 2026, Covenant Christian

Coming off a excellent sophomore year campaign, Cruz threw for 33 touchdowns and over 2600 yards leading Covenant Christian to a 7-4 record.

Which makes sense why he was quite possibly the most accurate quarterback throughout the day, Cruz displayed an efficient drop back to pair with a good release.

In the gunslinging offense that he captained for a season already, there should be no surprise if Cruz is once again at the top of the state in yards and touchdowns at the 1A level.

Jayden Rivers, 2026, Warren Central

The two-time transfer from Hammond Bishop Noll had a up-and-down year in his first season of Indiana football as a sophomore starter for the run-heavy 2A squad.

Rivers threw for seven touchdowns and eight interceptions this past year with five touchdowns all coming against Lake Station.

Now at his third school in the three years, Rivers should be in a better spot than before with a Warren Central squad that produces D1 talent year-in-and-year-out.

The lefty quarterback showed off his pretty release and tight spiral throughout the day, but had issues controlling the touch he put on the ball. Nonetheless, the strong-armed gunslinger should bolster the Warren Central offense and make them an interesting piece to the 6A puzzle this year.

While the quarterbacks were the star of the show, two wideouts stood out from the group in Jackson Harvey and Donovan Norris.

Jackson Harvey, 2026, Cathedral

Just two games of varsity action under his belt, Harvey spent the past season tearing up the JV scene with 40 catches for nearly 900 yards and 10 touchdowns. With all the traits you would want in a receiver, Harvey is bound to make a huge leap in his junior campaign for the Irish.

With a lengthy 6’2″ frame, Harvey has a wide catch radius and smooth during his routes.

A hurdler on the track team, Harvey is able to show off his track-speed on deep routes and able to bring down just about any ball thrown his way.

Donovan Norris, 2025, North Central

Although limited varsity reps have been seen by Norris during his time at North Central, that should be changing if he can translate what he showed at the camp to team practices this summer.

Norris is on the shorter side listed at 5’10”, but makes up for it with his speed and agility. With his efficient release off the line, ability to track the ball in the air and secure it with his sure hands, Norris should be a reliable target for 2025 QB Caleb Foor – who also showed off his skillset throughout the day winning a camp-wide competition at the end of the practice.
