Mater Dei has its next quarterback.
Touted Cathedral of Los Angeles junior-to-be quarterback Bryce Young (5-11, 175) announced Friday on Twitter that he will transfer to Mater Dei, which is seeking to replace record-setting and USC-bound JT Daniels at quarterback.
Daniels recently completed his junior season, topped by leading Mater Dei to a national championship and 15-0 record, but intents to reclassify as a member of the class of 2018 and enroll early at USC.
As a sophomore, the dual-threat Young passed for 3,431 yards and 41 TDs and rushed for 287 yards and 8 TDs. He led Cathedral to a 10-2 record.
Young has offers from Alabama, Georgia and USC among others. He projects to be part of the class of 2020 with St. John Bosco quarterback DJ Uiagalele, perhaps Mater Dei’s main rivalry next season.
Mater Dei coach Bruce Rollinson didn’t immediately return a message Friday seeking comment on Young’s enrollment status. The Trinity League school is on Christmas break.
