Four-Star QB Dylan Lonergan commits to Alabama

Lonergan on why he chose Alabama 

“The way they have developed QBs in the past couple years and being able to play on the biggest stage year after year,” Lonergan said. “As well as being able to play both baseball and football.”

“It was just as big as football,” Lonergan said. “Finding the best fit for both sports was very difficult, but in the end I feel like I found the best spot for me.”

“Since they only have 3 QBs now it’ll be like going into a normal room and competing with one of the best QBs in the class with me.”

Dylan Lonergan Scouting Summary

“Talented passer who doubles as a standout on the gridiron and the baseball diamond,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “Highly touted baseball prospect who holds multiple Power 5 baseball offers, with the possibility of being a MLB Draft pick. Shows touch and accuracy as a passer at all levels of the field. Layers the football well, but can turn up the heat if needed on tight window throws. Productive while facing strong competition. Threw for nearly 3,400 yards and 32 touchdowns with just 3 interceptions as a junior. Mobile and creative with his legs. Ran for over 600 yards and 7 touchdowns as a junior.”

“Has a stocky build, measuring between 6-foot-1 and 6-foot-2 and around 220 pounds. Mechanics can falter when the pocket collapses. Arm talent combined with his accuracy makes him one of the safer quarterback prospects in the country despite being on the older end for his class. Father was a quarterback at Penn State in the early 1980’s and won a national championship with them in 1982.”

Lonergan ranks as the No. 86 player in the On300 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting sites. He also tabs in as the No. 9 quarterback and the No. 4 player in the state of Georgia..
