Matt Barkley, Nation's Top HS Football Prospect, Opens Season on ESPN2 Thursday
Matt Barkley, the nation's top high school football prospect, will begin his season Wednesday on ESPN2. Barkley will lead his Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA) team against Carson (CA) at 9 pm.
Barkley became the first junior to win the Gatorade male high school athlete of the year award last season, completing 214-of-340 passes for 3,576 yards, 35 touchdowns and just six interceptions for Mater Dei.
Last season, Barkley set the Orange County and school records for passing yards in a season and school records for most attempts and most completions.
Barkley, who stands 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds, is currently ranked the No. 1 quarterback and player overall in the Rivals 100 high school football rankings, a feat accomplished by Vince Young, Adrian Peterson, Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin and Ohio State phenom Terrelle Pryor.
Barkley is considered the best quarterback to ever play at Mater Dei, a school whose football legacy is well-documented. Mater Dei is one of just two high schools that has produced two Heisman Trophy winners: John Huarte and Matt Leinart. They also produced Colt Brennan, who was a Heisman finalist in 2007.
Like Leinart, Barkley has committed to USC, the college tied with the most Heisman winners with seven, where he will enroll in January.
