Alabama 4-star QB commit Dylan Lonergan leads team to victory despite illness

Snellville (Ga.) Brookwood four-star quarterback Dylan Lonergan didn’t practice much this past week due to the flu.

But that didn’t stop him come Friday night.

“I found a clip of the Michael Jordan Game 6 ‘flu game,’” Brookwood coach Philip Jones told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I told him, ‘Tomorrow is going to be your flu game.’ Call me a prophet, call me lucky. I not going to forget this for a long time.”

The Alabama commit finished with 161 yards and three touchdowns on just 8-for-15. He also added 56 rushing yards.

Snellville Brookwood won the game 41-33 over Lilburn (Ga.) Parkview.

Lonergan is the No. 83 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $334k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
