Haven senior quarterback Nash Wray is on the brink of a breakout season.
Wray has been playing football since he was in kindergarten and is now getting to keep living out his dreams of being the QB1 for his hometown team.
“What it means to me being QB1 is that it is fun and I love playing the game of football with my teammates,” Wray said.
While being the starting quarterback has perks, there are a lot of responsibilities that come with it and Wray is fully embracing that.
“Being a leader means a lot because of all the underclassmen looking up to me and my other teammates that are seniors as well,” Wray said. “Being the quarterback and leading the team means a lot to because as the quarterback you are in control of the offense and can see the whole field.”
Wray was named as a first-team all-district quarterback last season after throwing for 1293 yards, and 13 touchdowns, while rushing for 516 yards and nine touchdowns, but that isn’t enough for the senior.
“My personal goals for the season are leading the league in touchdown passes, passing yards and making 1st team all-state,” Wray said. “Our team goals are going undefeated in the regular season and making a deep run into the playoffs.”
The senior wants to play at the next level and knows that with how much work he and his team have put in, they can be really special.
“With the hard work and dedication our team put in the weight room this summer and with the experience and talent we have coming back we have the chance to be a really successful team this year,” Wray said.
