Jason Reyes - the Quarterback who took two leagues by storm by leading the Rebels to a championship game in the spring of 2006, and nearly doing the same in the fall of the same year, returns for another run at a title.
Reyes, who was in Florida for 2007, has been working out with the New York Spartans Semi Pro program - members of the Gridiron Elite. Jason is in a competition for the starting QB position with another former Rebel quarterback, Frank Rue, Jr. The Spartans are scheduled to participate in the first Gridiron Elite Football tournament being played at Evander Childs High School. Reyes is expected to play with the Spartans in the spring, and return to compete for the fall QB position with the Rebels Jr. pro team.
HC Baxter, of the Jr Pro division, states “Jason is a natural leader, with qualitites that cannot be taught at the QB position. Working with the Spartans will be a great way to shed the rust off of his game, and will make him ready to run at the ECFL title this fall.”
Reyes will compete in Rebel camp with QB Kaliph Daley, who is slotted to start at the position for the Rebels in the fall. Baxter states “they are both good athletes that bring interesting qualities to our offense. The competition should be a good one to watch, but whoever earns the job, will be taking our team to the title game.”
Defensive Coordinatior Kevin Pryor though is pushing for Daley to remain on the defensive side of the ball, leaving Reyes as the starting QB. “Jason has a stronger arm. I have seen this kid put the ball on a dime at 70 yards. Not many kids can do that at this level.”
Can Reyes compete? Is Daley up to the challenge of earning his starting job? Will Daley be moved back to a starting DB, leaving Reyes as the starter?
Stay Tuned!!!"
