Pennsburys Looks to Make His Mark in 2018
He was the lone underclassman on a mammoth Falcons offensive line that helped Pennsbury forge a 103 record overall in 2017 and a trip to the District One 6A semifinal game against Coatesville. led a line that powered senior Zach DeMarchis to have one of the best seasons in school history.The 510, 175-pound dual-threat quarterback ran for 1,439 yards and 17 TDs and also threw for over 1,800 yards while accounting for 34 touchdowns.
That success surely sets the stage for a great senior campaign on the field and with recruiters who are starting to line up.Its really exciting, said in a recent phone interview. Im getting interest from those schools, and I have some more visits coming up.
said the Falcons 10-win season with a major high school program led by head coach Dan McShane certainly helped put the spotlight on his play.The season definitely helped me out a little bit with getting noticed, said.Pennsbury is a run-first offense, so he has developed skills that can transfer to the guard position and that has college scouts looking at to possibly play on the inside as well as his natural tackle position.
As of right now, Im getting looked at to play tackle and guard by different schools, said. It depends on which school, some see me as a tackle, some see me as a guard.At tackle, said coaches have said, For tackle its my footwork and pass protection, said. For my size, they say Im pretty light on my feet. As far as guard, I love the run game, you knowIts about overpowering people.McShane said he will lean on to be the leader this fall.
Brian is a very athletic and powerful kid, McShane said. He has a real motor and loves to compete. He will lead a young group of offensive linemen to continue to play the Pennsbury football physical style of play.
The coach said because of s ability both on the field and in the classroom, the sky is the limit for his blocker.Brian is a strong student, McShane said. And combined with his athletic talents, I can see him playing football at a great school with a tradition of football success.
If a major university is going to invest its resources in a student-athlete, there has to be confidence that players love what the program does. Coaches want to see this is not just about getting a scholarship. The program wants to know that motivation will not be a problem once the student and institution agree to go forward with their relationship that could be for the next five years. wanted to put to rest any idea that he is anything but 100 percent motivated to be the best he can be.Of course I love to play football, said. I just started playing in ninth grade. I was an AAU basketball player before that. It was definitely the right move, I put on the weight and its paying off.Linemen never get the ball unless its a fumble recovery. So what is it about playing line that attracts to football?Obviously playing offensive line, you dont get the limelight, said. Im OK with that. I pride myself in being a tough football player. In order to be an offensive lineman, you need to be a tough football player. said hed like to see more of the field this season. He wants to help on the defensive line if coach McShane thinks he can be productive.Theres been some talk of me being in the rotation, said. At the nose or the three-tech. Id like to do that, too. It would be fun.Like any high school player, watches the NFL on Sundays and visualizes about the day he could wear an NFL uniform.
Of course I think about the NFL, said. Its everybodys dream, especially if you are a high school football player. talked about the NFL linemen he admires most.At the guard position, I like watching (Buffalo Bills) Richie Incognito, said. At the tackle position, I like watching (Dallas Cowboys) Tyron Smith and definitely (Eagles) Jason Peters.Like a lot of his fans, especially in Buffalo, was sad to hear the news Incognito had decided to retire, citing health issuesHes probably one of the best guards in the game at the moment, said. also talked about how he is training in the offseason.
My focus is on strength and conditioning, getting stronger and getting in better shape for next season. said, for training over the holidays and throughout the winter, he sought the help of former Pennsbury star J.J. Denman, who later was a standout offensive tackle for Rutgers.
He showed me things in pass protection I found that I really like to use now, said. More vertical stretch and stuff like that. He also showed me what its like to lift as a collegiate offensive lineman, which I thought was pretty fun. Me and (senior OL) Nika Wright also lifted with him. said Wright will continue his college career at West Chester University with DeMarchis.Last year, the Falcons finished with a great overall record.
As outstanding as the record was on its own, Pennsbury lost to archrival Neshaminy for the Suburban One League National Conference title but defeated the Redskins in the second round of the playoffs 3617 before losing to Coatesville 422.Certainly winning two playoff games in the toughest level of high school football in Pennsylvania is something to be proud of, but the Falcons didnt get any banners. wants to put some of those honors in the schools hallways after next fall.
Definitely were looking to get some banners next year, said. Its probably every high school teams goal but all in all, I just hope we have a really good regular season and beat the teams that matter, obviously Neshaminy is one of them. Thats where we want to be.

College Football: Bowls or Playoffs? And why?
I personally like the bowls, however I can see how the playoffs would be good because you could have one team that plays a bunch of nobodys but looks better than a team with a loss to a really good opponent. So I could go either way. I really don't think they're going to change anything any time soon anyway though
