I have been watching rivals over the last month as they have done there countdown of the top 100 high school teams throughout the nation. When I went to check it out today they had finally released the preseason #1 team in the nation and it was Santa Margarita, led by qb husker commit johnny stanton.

This was an great article. It is also amazing the amount of D1 talent that team has and hopefully landing Johnny will be a good stepping stone to future recruits from Santa Margarita. Just like in college football, the talent will continue to come to Santa Margarita if they can continue to win.

Wish Johnny couldve brought a few of his buddies to Lincoln with him. Sounds like a talented team.

Getting the QB from the #1 team in the country ... yes please!

Jezz that team sounds like a good practice squad for some college level teams! I think I have heard of maybe one team here in Texas that had that many divison 1 scholarship offers. I think it was Dallas skyline? Think they had 12. I could be wrong on the school though.

Husker QB recruit Stanton receiving rave reviews

Opinion column by Sam McKewon / World-Herald staff writer PUBLISHED TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2012 AT 12:01 AM / UPDATED AT 1:41 AM

 

LINCOLN — Johnny Stanton arrived a half-hour late to the most important audition of his young life. He was in the midst of a nationwide summer tour to land college quarterback offers. Nebraska made his visit list. But the commute from Omaha — where his family had stayed overnight — perhaps took longer than Stanton had expected. So the 6-foot-2 220-pounder arrived as the rest of the high school guys in NU's Elite Quarterback Academy were already stretching.

 

“I was worried it'd be a big deal,” Stanton said. Husker offensive coordinator Tim Beck clearly didn't think so. He whisked Stanton inside the Hawks Championship Center for a one-on-one tutorial, putting the Santa Margarita (Calif.) Catholic star through a series of drills and passes to graduate assistants and interns. Beck liked what he saw, and 24 hours later, he'd extended Stanton an offer.
