Proximity may give the Bruins a leg up with the 2025 dual-threat QB as he is from Downey in Southern California.

As a junior, he led the Warren Bears to an 11-3 record, throwing 196 completions for 3626 yards and 43 touchdowns. He added another 305 yards and three touchdowns on the ground on 78 carries.

His brother, Nico, is currently a quarterback for the Tennessee Volunteers.
