That's no small order in a hurry-up offense. The Rockets return only two starters on offense: senior receivers Cade Eddington and Riley Lewis. Quarterback is one thing but replacing virtually a whole offense is another. "That's what we try to do: we're going to move the ball as fast as we can and we're going to run the ball and we're going to throw the ball and come at you in a lot of different ways." "Everybody knows when you come to Rochester, it's a pass offense and you're going to go fast and you're going to move the ball," Bruno said. Whatever the case, the offense stays the same no matter who's running the show. His fellow teammate vouched for him and said he's "sneaky fast." Mackiney exhibits more a pro-style while Bruno's more a dual-threat, according to Leonard. They perhaps bear less resemblance on the field. They appear very similar on paper: Mackiney's 6-foot and 170 pounds while Bruno's 6-foot and 175 pounds. It's been great to try to help each other." I've been trying to help him out on the offense because I feel like that's my strong suit and he's the better athlete. "It's good for both of us because we both help each other when we see something and we both challenge each other, so we've been getting better everyday," Bruno said. Mackiney and Bruno split time taking snaps during practices and Leonard said there hasn't been any animosity in the process. "It keeps the defense on its toes," Mackiney said. It wouldn't be the first time Leonard used a 2-QB system.īaker and Josh Grant combined for 3,946 yards and 53 TDs with just six interceptions in 2016. If they do that, they'll be fine and they'll be the best Clay and Brock they can be. They got to lead the offense and they can't commit turnovers. "It doesn't matter the position and quarterback obviously with Nic (gone) is going to be hard.
"We've had a lot of good quarterbacks and our football team, it's next man up," Leonard said. Leonard didn't announce who the starter was during Friday's scrimmage, but expects to use both of them come opening kickoff.
Senior Brock Mackiney and junior Clay Bruno will assume the void. Nic Baker proceeded to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale after raking in a second straight Class 4A state title while racking up a whopping 3,900 yards and 54 TDs his senior year with just two interceptions on his way to being named SJ-R's Male Athlete of the Year. The Rockets will indeed replace a D-I QB this year. "It's not that easy," Rochester coach and quarterback guru Derek Leonard said. It may seem that way, but that's far from reality. ROCHESTER - Rochester High School makes it looks so easy.Ī Division I quarterback graduates and presto! There's another.
