Four Nola Area QBs Spotlighted by the Sugar Bowl
NEW ORLEANS (September 17, 2024) – The Allstate Sugar Bowl has announced this week’s Manning Award Futures – four local high school quarterbacks who turned in outstanding performances on the football field this past weekend. The recognition is entitled “Futures” as these high school stars are potential future candidates for the Manning Award, which recognizes the top collegiate quarterback in the nation on an annual basis. It was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in 2004 to honor the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning.
The Sugar Bowl has had the opportunity to recognize 85 quarterbacks from 46 different high schools since the honor’s inception in 2020.
Manning Award Futures – High School QBs of the Week, 9/17/24:
Seth Dazet, Brother Martin (16-of-22, 299 yards, 3 TDs)
With his team down four with 50 seconds to play and 80 yards to go, Dazet connected on a pair of 17-yard passes and then connected with Easton Royal for a 46-yard catch-and-run go ahead touchdown as the Crusaders shocked St. Paul’s, 31-28, on Saturday afternoon in Covington.
The Allstate Sugar Bowl has established itself as one of the premier college football bowl games, having hosted 29 national champions, 107 Hall of Fame players, 52 Hall of Fame coaches and 21 Heisman Trophy winners in its 90-year history. The 91st Allstate Sugar Bowl Football Classic, which will double as a College Football Playoff Quarterfinal, is scheduled to be played on January 1, 2025. In addition to football, the Sugar Bowl Committee annually invests over $1 million into the community through the hosting and sponsorship of sporting events, awards, scholarships and clinics. Through these efforts, the organization supports and honors thousands of student-athletes each year, while injecting over $2.5 billion into the local economy in the last decade.
