Even as a newcomer to Bishop Noll, sophomore quarterback Jaydin Rivers has an appreciation for the program’s rich history, which includes a Class 3A state title in 1989.
“It’s no shame on Marist. It’s a good school,” Rivers said. “But it was an opportunity to come here, and as a new kid, it’s a good environment. The guys welcomed me. It’s been nice. The whole process has been welcoming and warm. It feels like home here. We always keep each other on a pedestal to be great. We pick each other up.”
Rivers has already received interest from colleges such as Illinois, Northwestern, Penn State, Rutgers and Syracuse. Rivers didn’t start playing the position until eighth grade. Since taking up the sport when he was 8 years old, Rivers has lined up at tight end, wide receiver, outside linebacker and defensive end.“I found love for the quarterback position,” Rivers said. “I fell in love with it, and I’ve been working on it every day since then.
