Experienced USC QB Depth With a Strong Command of the Playbook
Manoogian projects more as a reliable, prep-tested quarterback than a headline creator: at Windward, he completed 131 of 185 passes for 1,643 yards with 19 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in his junior season, while also adding 6 rushing scores. At USC, sources describe him as exceptionally familiar with the playbook and ready to step in when needed, which makes him valuable as a disciplined, low-drama depth option rather than a pure tools-based gamble. He looks like a fit for teams that prize preparedness, poise, and backup reliability over flashy upside.[1][2]
