High School Legend Turned Steady College QB Backup for Miami (OH)
Alex Malzone, the 2014-15 Gatorade Michigan Player of the Year from Brother Rice High School, dazzled with 2,998 passing yards, 38 TDs, and just 5 INTs (65% completion) leading his team to an 11-1 season; a 4.5-star Michigan recruit, he transferred to Miami (OH) after limited action (0-for-4 passing in 2018), bringing elite intangibles (rated 8/10), pocket presence, and leadership as a 6-2, 231-lb veteran QB. His accuracy, poise under pressure, and championship pedigree make him a reliable game-manager and locker-room anchor—perfect for teams needing a smart, battle-tested backup with starter upside.
