Year of the quarterback in Baltimore

Maryland Crab Bowl will feature 5 of the 7 local QBs with Div. I potential

Including 4 current QB Factory clients; Billy Cosh, Jerry Lovelocke, Josh Bordner and Connor Bruns
When Maryland Crab Bowl officials set out to finalize the Baltimore roster for Monday's second annual senior all-star football game against Washington, they faced a problem they had never seen before: too many quarterbacks.

They were looking at six potential Division I quarterbacks for three roster spots. Not great for them but certainly great for local fans, who, this fall, saw probably the best collection of high school quarterbacks ever to play in the Baltimore area at the same time.

Those seniors - Arundel's Billy Cosh, Century's Josh Bordner, McDonogh's Rudy Johnson, Loyola's Connor Bruns, Edmondson's Jerry Lovelocke and Poly's Antoine Goodson - along with Gilman junior Darius Jennings bring the number of quarterbacks with Division I potential to seven.

From the Carroll County Times:

Josh Bordner’s football career is set to continue at a Division I college thanks to his time spent at quarterback, the position he almost didn’t play.

In his youth football days with the Winfield program, Bordner was either a lineman or wide receiver. He envisioned a high school career at linebacker or defensive end.

When he arrived at Century High, Bordner joined a freshman team looking to fill key positions.

“We didn’t really have a quarterback, so I just stepped up and did it,” he said. “I guess it worked out pretty well.”

That’s an understatement.

Bordner came to high school with minimal quarterback experience. After two stellar seasons as the Knights’ starter, the senior is leaving early and heading to Boston College with a chance to become a big-time college quarterback.

The Times’ Football Player of the Year led Century back to the postseason this fall when many football fans had the Knights pegged as a rebuilding team. Bordner helped them overcome an 0-3 start to finish the season 7-4 and reach the Class 2A West playoffs.

He threw for 2,082 yards and 18 touchdowns, and finished his career with 4,433 passing yards, the fourth-most in Carroll history — not bad for a kid who wanted nothing to do with quarterback because he hated the idea of remembering all the plays.

When Century’s freshman team needed a quarterback, Bordner raised his hand (he had played some as an eighth-grader). The following season, he made varsity but played mostly defense and wide receiver. Bordner remembers playing quarterback only when things were a bit bleak.
