Quarterback Journey: School Records, Shoulder Injuries, and Finding Your Way with Luca Stanzani

Stephen Garcia & Sean Febre & Luca Stanzani Season 1 Episode 7

What happens when a quarterback with 15,000 high school passing yards faces injury after injury but refuses to quit? Luca Stanzani's football journey exemplifies resilience in the face of continuous setbacks.

From his humble beginnings with the Clearwater Tornadoes at age six to starring at Clearwater Academy International—a school that transformed from a six-man program into an international football powerhouse—Luca's path has been anything but conventional. He shares the moment his quarterback career began with a casual spiral thrown during a water break that caught his coach's attention, leading to an extraordinary high school career where he amassed over 15,000 passing yards, placing him second all-time in Florida high school football history.

The recruiting process revealed college football's harsh business realities. Despite verbal offers from programs including Southern Miss and USF, Luca experienced the difference between genuine interest and empty promises. His potential scholarship at Charlotte disappeared at the last minute due to another player's injury situation and roster management issues—a gutting experience that left him scrambling for options. When Long Island University offered a scholarship, it represented not just an opportunity to play but a chance to prove himself.

His freshman campaign showed tremendous promise, throwing for nearly 1,200 yards with 15-16 touchdowns in just four games. But his momentum was derailed by a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum during his sophomore year, leading to surgery and a grueling rehabilitation process. Now approaching his senior season and fully recovered, Luca is battling to reclaim his starting role with renewed determination.

Ready to see this comeback story unfold? Follow Luca and LIU as they prepare to open their season against Florida in The Swamp. His journey reminds us that setbacks often create the foundation for our greatest comebacks.

Speaker 2:

My name is lucas sanzani. Uh, I go to long island university play quarterback. Been training with steven since I was like sixth grade. I'm gonna be a senior now. Time fucking flies.

Speaker 2:

But um, yeah man, I started football when I was six. Um, I sort of just went to my mom, was like mom, I want to try football. She was all in. She's like let's do it. We looked it up on the computer, found the Clearwater Tornadoes, like less than a mile from my house, and we signed up and that's a done deal. Did you start playing quarterback? No, it's funny. So Clearwater Tornadoes, it's not like not a whole lot of white guys on that team, especially at six years old.

Speaker 2:

I started off as like a tackle. They just put me there. I was like whatever First year still loved it, loved football, had a great time. And then, going into my next year, I remember like so vividly we got a water break and then I just grabbed the football because I had like worked out with my dad or whatever. Grabbed the football and just threw it to one of the coaches. Grabbed a football and just threw it to one of the coaches it was like a 10, 15-yard pass threw a spiral. The coach was like holy shit. He's like guys, check this shit out. Like let's do it again. And I remember I didn't throw a perfect spiral, but I threw a good ball. He's like, oh, he threw a spiral on the one before, like I swear, and ever since then it's quarterback.

Speaker 1:

No shit, that's the rest that your mom sent the picture of. Who was that kid? Was it?

Speaker 2:

JoJo, yeah, garcia, yeah, yeah. Or JoJo Borchers, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1:

And he walked on at Miami. Yeah, that's insane.

Speaker 2:

So we did Team Florida. We went back and forth Team Florida, the two quarterbacks for from like sixth grade to like basically sophomore junior high school. We were the two guys.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'll tell you what that 7-on-7, we actually talked about it with Lex Capitano. You remember talking with him? Yeah, we were talking about that with like 7-on-7 and the difference between 7-on-7 now to when you guys are playing yeah, it's night and day.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's great. I sort of got to see like it like evolve into what it is. Yeah, it's a whole different ball game now.

Speaker 1:

It's yeah, that's one way to describe it, I guess.

Speaker 2:

When I played it, it was like there was like the Junior Olympics, like it was like this like joke of a thing, like an AAU sort of deal, and then now it's just like everybody's hosting these huge tournaments. Img is such a huge deal and people are getting offers from it, which is incredible. Not quarterbacks, though, yeah no, because that's a different game.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, severely different.

Speaker 2:

You just take one step and chill out for those four seconds.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, four seconds. You're just looking around and throwing a couple of zins or some racks. I mean throwing a couple of racks, Racks yeah. Let it go, yeah, let it go, let it fly. All right. So you guys are, I know you guys are my family's from Buffalo.

Speaker 1:

People are like trying to a mom of three now, like that just happens.

Speaker 3:

We go from talking about buffalo to yeah, yeah to this, I'm sure you know patty's probably gonna go wait, tina, no next.

Speaker 2:

He sees that for some motivation.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, that's the kind of uh, that's the kind of shit we talk about during the training sessions. Yeah, you know, we talk about life and that's why I wanted to get you on the podcast. Man, I think you're you're a good speaker, I think you got a hell of a story to tell and uh, yeah, so all right, so you're going back. Your mom's side of the family is from Buffalo. When did you all move down?

Speaker 2:

here Right after I was born. I was born in Buffalo but took the first flight out. My sister, my, pretty much my sister spent a year or two in Buffalo and then, and then I, I went down, so raised in Clearwater, raised in Clearwater, went to the same school since I was two years old Clearwater Academy, it's a little pre-K to high school. This rack, it's hitting. It's hitting pretty good, I feel it. I feel a little buzz right now. Good, went to the same school since I was two years old, grew up around the same community, my coach, my head coach, jesse Chinchar. He started the football program there.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know that. Yeah, he started it.

Speaker 2:

He was in school and was like talking to the principal. Because he's a younger dude, yeah, early 30s. He's like Mr Swearer's the principal. He's like we need to start a football program, Like there's some guys so started six-man. While he was at the high school, my dad was the coach for a bit and turned it into this powerhouse that I was able to be a part of and grow with. Yeah, it was a great deal.

Speaker 1:

So it's Clearwater International Academy, right? Clearwater Academy International. Yeah, so his teammates were I mean, how many? What was a percentage of? Like Canadians, because they had a Jai Hall, or was it Jai Hall? Ajo, ajo.

Speaker 2:

What? Ajo Ajo, that's his name. Okay, I mean, where did he end up? Where did he commit to? So he went to Clemson and then got some trouble, went to USF then JUCO CFL and now he's in Indiana.

Speaker 1:

I mean, yeah, We've got some crazy stories, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So they had a bunch of Canadian guys that would come down out. So we're like let's uh, let's, go back to the foreigners, let's see what we can do here. So my dad brought a few over from italy, because that's where the italian my dad's, born and raised in italy, played football over there. Uh, like soccer, no american football, yeah yeah that's, that's a whole.

Speaker 2:

I mean it's become a huge thing now in europe, especially germany, but uh, it was back in the 80s. They played. It was very small, especially in italy. Um, so we brought italian players over and that became uh, italian french. Um we've got guys from like American, samoa, canada, germany, all over, and yeah, we fucking you guys used to beat the shit out of teams, man. Yeah, you guys won the state championship your senior year.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we were in an independent league, so we got guys all over. I'm going to take the shit out. Yeah, it's rocking man, fuck. All right, let's try and articulate some words now. Rock, it's just nicotine, right yeah?

Speaker 3:

that's it.

Speaker 2:

That's it, that's doing it, but I don't, I don't do anything. The Rebel Rabbit that shit in the fridge. So it started off with a few Italians and then it grew into all over Europe and all over the world really like Africa, everywhere and then we found out Canadians. It's much easier with the passport or the visas, rather, to get them over. So it sort of turned into the Canadian Fest. By my junior senior year it was like 80% Canadians and a few European guys.

Speaker 1:

I mean you had, you had some guys that committed to, like you said, clemson. I mean some major, some big time we would send.

Speaker 2:

Uh, we do a lot of early signing day. That was a big advantage for us, getting guys in so they could just go straight to college. We, we would sign anywhere from 10 to 15 guys every year, uh, usually early signing day. Uh, so I mean, fucking, jesse did a great job. Yeah, that's awesome. Um, yeah, we've had guys go to fucking clemson a few guys to pit. Uh, one guy went to west virginia's all-american. Now he's at miami.

Speaker 1:

Um, notre dame all over anywhere, all over the place it's. It's pretty cool, man. Uh, I didn't realize. Jesse started the program yeah, literally started it. Yeah, that's freaking sweet, but now you guys just did so much damage now that it's like yeah, man, we're, we're not, we're not playing against. I mean, you tell the story.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's a crazy deal. So, fucking, every year got harder and harder to schedule our games, like we I'm talking like a month out we're missing three games and uh, it just got to the point where we had to fundraise like 50 grand, like the kids had to fundraise, because we're a small private school, we don't have much funding. The kids had to fundraise 50 grand a year and couldn't get games. And basically Jesse was like you know, I can't, really I can't do this much longer. Like maybe I could stretch it out one or two more years, but like what's the point of bringing in like sophomores or juniors just to leave them out to dry and make them transfer right just for one more year?

Speaker 3:

so they, they called it quits no one, no one's money. For why were you fundraising 50 g's a year?

Speaker 2:

yeah, it's uh, travel, uh equipment, pay for the kids to to do that. Um, the kids would come in and already pay like room and board, right, uh, and pay for meals and stuff. But we needed money just to survive, to keep the program alive and to travel. It's not cheap.

Speaker 1:

Because that's what you know they're playing. They're independent, so they're playing against. I mean, you guys played out-of-state teams.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you guys, yeah, they did. It turned into like, when it started like across Florida was like our like long-haul game, and then it turned into like we went to ohio, played out, played the number one team in ohio. Uh, we played the number one team in tennessee two or three times. Uh, it became like one, one big out-of-state game, and then it became two. Then it would have had to be three.

Speaker 3:

We almost played like bishop gorman, oh yeah so you guys were playing basically other private schools.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we were playing other private schools. Yeah, uh, and it had to be that way because local teams didn't want to play us Like we played Calvary my freshman year and beat them like 55-0 or something.

Speaker 1:

It's just like people didn't want to play us, and he started. So you started as an eighth grader. Eighth grader, yeah. Eighth grader on varsity? Yeah, Well, how many? What's your career? Passing yards for high school.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so eighth grade threw for three and some change. I pretty much did that almost every year. So again, five years definitely helped, but I threw for 15 and some change. So I ended up like number two for at all time passing.

Speaker 1:

That's what I don't understand is who threw for more yards than that?

Speaker 2:

I don't know his name, but he went to clemson, some huge recruit. Uh, I want to say back in like 2015 area, um, yeah, tim tebow is around, like I think he's like seven or eight in florida, yeah, but that's, that's a big name, yeah, um yeah. So I mean that's not a stat like I talk about, but when people find out they're like holy shit, like that's big deal, I'm like yeah, it is what it is. I mean, it's the same thing as like.

Speaker 1:

Not the same thing, but like braxton plunk, who I want to get on here he set the division. What is a mountain union? Is that? Oh, I have no clue. I think it's d2 or d3, I don't know. But he set the career passing, like every single stat.

Speaker 1:

Yeah every single career stat, yeah I between you and I don't know who has like a better. I mean just accuracy and just the spin of the ball, and it pisses me off and Braxton, I'm going to tag you in this it pisses me off that you're not playing anymore. Yeah, and he knows that.

Speaker 2:

I tell him that every single time Caleb was talking about him, how much of a dog he was just training he always looked up to him growing up, because caleb and I caleb pierce we uh, you'll get him on the pod too yeah, yeah, we, uh, we grew up with the older guys and looked up to a lot of them like charlie, charlie dean yeah, yeah, rip it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, just a quark. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, um, all right. So then we go from clearwater academy international to, you know, tell us kind of, go through your recruiting process and all that.

Speaker 2:

So eighth grade finished. Finished. The season had a good eighth grade year. Definitely turned some heads locally. And then, recruiting-wise, I ended up getting my first offer after my eighth grade year, going into my freshman year, from Southern Miss. That was back when Southern Miss started off. They just started throwing out offers. They offered everyone in the fucking country.

Speaker 1:

I remember that, yeah, especially down here.

Speaker 2:

They went to every high school threw out like 10 offers. So I mean I'm counting it.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, why would you not?

Speaker 2:

The coach actually did fight for me. He told Jesse he was like this is a real offer, like I want to recruit this kid going out throughout high school.

Speaker 1:

I'm glad you mentioned that real quick just to talk about that. Explain the difference between a real offer and a yeah, non-committable offer, because that's that's a term that I've been hearing a lot and you know memphis will show me like I can't believe this kid got an offer. I was like, dude, that's no, that's not committable yeah.

Speaker 2:

So nowadays what they're doing is they're throwing out verbal offers, what they call them. So when a coach calls you up and gives you a verbal offer, he's basically saying like I mean, nowadays what it means is like uh, we're gonna start recruiting you. Basically we're interested in you, we like you a lot, we do, but it's not committable yet.

Speaker 2:

So committable offer is when you go into your senior year or junior year, maybe now, um, you get you get an official offer letter that's like you can commit here right now, um, and I mean for like four stars and five stars. When you're in like sophomore year you can sometimes commit obviously Every coach is different but you just throw out offers fucking to whoever and that's like starting getting recruited. Basically it looks good for the kid because that means like, oh, ucf just offered this kid, verbal or not, like he must be a baller.

Speaker 1:

Then UCF offers then USF, and then it's then ucf.

Speaker 2:

Yeah then, then, uh, so ucf offers then usf, usf and then it just starts. It starts, uh, sandballing um sandballing.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if I've heard that term before. I think it's snowballing that rack, that rack attack.

Speaker 2:

Seriously, I'm still spinning, I'm trying to trying to flush it out with this water. Fuck, um, yeah, so fucking uh, but yeah sorry, so we're going, so all right.

Speaker 1:

So you're, you get a, a committable offer, or non-committal, whatever it may be, from southern miss, and then you know kind of go from there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, this is eighth grade going, your freshman year, yeah, and then a few, two months later, I think, maybe three months later, usf calls uh, coach king, this coach, strong staff, coach king, great guy, I always liked him. Uh, he throws me an offer super pumped, and then a bit of a dry spell and then, after my freshman year, utm offers. That's a funny deal. Like I shook his hand. I was walking the halls, as they say, because you're not allowed to come down and meet the coach. So I was walking the halls, happened to see me shook his hand, offered me. Never heard from the guy again. That's the definition of a verbal offer, by the way. Yeah, utm offers.

Speaker 2:

Some time goes by. I'm getting a lot of looks because I have three offers at this point and then going into my in the middle of my junior year, it's actually a cool deal. I always remember this. I'm going out to my birthday dinner this is mid-season, I was born in October. Um, I'm going out to my birthday dinner this is mid-season, I was born in october, uh, and I'm going out to celebrate my birthday and uh, fau calls and they're like hey, like we really like you, we want to offer you a scholarship. I'm like great birthday gift.

Speaker 2:

I love this, yeah great birthday gift, fau, fau offers, and then that guy gets fired like the next week. But fucking, it's posted on twitter, it's's out there. I got offered and then junior year was a bad deal. I was COVID, I got injured, didn't have the year I wanted. At the beginning of the year I pulled my meniscus and then mid-year, like, did some deal with my throwing shoulder? Yeah, the collarbone right. And then the last game, fourth quarter, broke my left collarbone, jesus, fucking Christ. Yeah, so just a rough year.

Speaker 3:

Covid got me a little bit, didn't catch COVID actually, that would have been the best thing that happened. Yeah, that would have been yeah for real Instead of the other shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, right, yeah, so that definitely fucking hurt my recruiting a bit. So I was in a sling from December to February and then my first time back throwing was, uh, yeah, at the elite 11 and uh, I was with like the, the real, the real, like the seniors, the big group, and uh, I mean, if I was 100 and healthy and stuff, I think I could have, yeah, I think I could have done something there, but just wasn't it. Um, so, yeah, uh knew that I had to hit summer hard, had to turn some heads for sure, ended up bowling out. I got an offer from Furman and at this point I was like, oh, I'm only talking to FBS schools, like I didn't really know what FCS was which is funny because I'm at FCS school now.

Speaker 2:

So Furman offers me, head coach, brings me in and he's like hey, like this is a serious offer, like we want you to commit, like I'd take your commitment today, oh shit. And I'm like oh shit, like thank you, and I didn't know firman was.

Speaker 2:

They're like a top 15, top 10 fcs school that's where lex, yeah, yeah yeah, so I would end it up with him, um, but I was like, thank you, like I considered it. But like I was like I'm getting looks by fbs, schools, like whatever, right, um, didn't think much of it. Like you have two weeks, we're bringing in another guy, we're going to offer him and we're going to tell him the same thing. Basically didn't end up taking it. The guy committed, so there's that. Didn't think much of it.

Speaker 2:

Uh, uncc calls, they love me, they offered me, uh, from summer. It's like oh, charlotte's great, I visited, loved it. Um, and uh, I was like, okay, I think, I think that's where I want to go, but up to them, because I was ready, I was ready to call it and just do it. But they were still doing the recruiting, which is fine. That's just how the game goes. It's a business, you know. So, going into my senior year, it's looking like me and ten other guys on the board. Okay, it's winding down a little bit. A few more weeks go by it. Okay, it's winding down a little bit, a few more. A few more weeks go by. It's me and five other guys. A few more weeks go by, it's me and one other guy. I'm like okay, great, like it's going to be me, like I'm, I'm the dude. I know I know how much they like me and I know I like it a lot, so it's just going to happen.

Speaker 2:

So we're almost. They're like listen, you're our guy. I'm like great, like let's do it. Yep, like where do I sign the dotted line? Let's do it. And they're like but here's the deal. So, uh, with covid came all the the restrict or the. They were all loose with scholarships, basically yeah. So after covid, because they had unlimited scholarships, so after covid everybody had a fucking 130-man roster, 130, 40-man roster on scholarship which is nuts.

Speaker 2:

So everybody had to cut down. People were getting basically just said you're not good enough to play here, your liability yeah, literally.

Speaker 3:

That's kind of what it's getting at man.

Speaker 2:

What it?

Speaker 3:

seems these schools don't give a fuck and have zero loyalty to their players.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely so. Even more so right after COVID, because you had to cut guys, you had to get to that 85 scholarship cap and so basically they're like there's this one guy who's on IR right now. He's injured with a knee injury. If he gets surgery, if he needs another surgery, he's taking your scholarship for the year and we don't have a spot for you. That's what it came down to. I was like fuck. So they were like he has a doctor's appointment next week, so we'll let you know. I'm like shit, like that throws a wrench in it. That's tricky. He ended up needing surgery, didn't have a scholarship for me. Now I'm left with nothing. I'm like fuck. Like I went from about a commit to having nothing right and uh, in the blink of an eye. That's how it happens. Yeah, the funny thing is he actually ended up transferring in the spring and I'm like oh, there you go, yeah that's my spot, yep.

Speaker 2:

So um yeah, man, I was left with nothing and uh, ended up with some pw to South Alabama and USF and I mean like I don't want to sound like, but they basically told me they're like we know you're not a regular walk-on Like they recruited hard to get me both of them. They both brought me on official visits, which is not something you do for walk-ons.

Speaker 3:

Yeah correct.

Speaker 2:

So they both brought me out, they both loved me. They both recruited me hard, home visits, the whole deal, just like I was a scholarship guy. They just didn't have a spot for me because they were doing the same cuts, yep. And then I was going to go to South Alabama. I've never talked about this publicly. Just like close group. I was going to go to South Alabama because the way the QB room looked. Well, this is very public now.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the QB room looked Well. This is very public now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there you go, there you go. Breaking news. I was going to go to South Alabama just the size of the quarterback room, like the starter had two years left. And then I was going to Walmart one night and I get a call from Coach Shank, coach Koop, and they're like, hey, like we really like you, we want to offer you a scholarship. And this was early February, so signing day was in a week or something.

Speaker 2:

And I was like, oh thanks, another FCS offer from a school I'd never heard of. And I was like, oh thanks, I'm kind of like I obviously was very grateful I'm not going to make it sound like I wasn't, I was, because it's an opportunity. But at this point I was like wasn't really considering it, even though it was a full scholarship. Like I liked South Alabama, I liked the opportunity that I could have made something out of it, you know. And then I looked more into it. I was like I'll entertain it just for my own sake, you know, just financially, like it's a blessing. Absolutely I didn't want to. I wanted to take advantage of it. So I went up, visited, liked it more than I thought, thought about it a little bit more and it basically turned out to like they were bringing in another guy who had two years left and then that's South Alabama.

Speaker 3:

Oh, ok, derek Green, his name's Derek Green. Yeah, trent Green, you remember Trent Green? Yeah, yeah, it yeah, it was his son.

Speaker 2:

Derek Green. Oh wow, good guy, shout out Derek. So I was like, listen, this guy has two years left. South Alabama's guy has two years left. Worst case at LIU is I sit for two years and then I take over Right. Best case at South Alabama is I sit for two years, earn a scholarship sometime in there, which is not easy. Much easier said than done, yeah, much easier said than done. And then I fight for one, basically when that guy graduates. So at the end of the day I was just like hell. I use just a better opportunity to play Because I can fight for that one job. If this transfer that they're bringing, if Derek's not as good as they say, or whatever, I can fight for it.

Speaker 2:

So became a Shark, signed late, uh, almost went up there that spring. I signed in like like late February, early March, and they're like, hey, like do you want to come in the spring? But you'd have to fucking do so many, you'd have to make up so much cool work and it ended up. I ended up waiting until the summer but became a shark. Uh, happy I did, yeah, and uh, yeah, just blessing to get an offer and fucking yeah and he's there now and I'll tell you what coach coop.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, we're back and, as you probably just heard, luca is reading the contents of the coconut water. He knows his coconut water Not a big sugar guy, no, not a big sugar guy. So let me ask you this so we're, you know, kind of go back to the whole committed to long island university and kind of just walk us through that whole process again and then we'll get into the yeah, the no sugar and all the conspiracies it was cool, man.

Speaker 2:

Um, freshman year was. Freshman year was a lot of fun. I, like I said, I went to a small, small private school, pre-k to high school, so I sort of grew up around the same community, my whole life Never been too far outside of Clearwater. So going to college, going to I mean it's a small college but for me it's fucking huge, that was fun. Summer was fun. I sort of made the most of my freshman year, basically just knew that I was the two going in, just sort of worked my butt off like I always do, and I ended up getting an opportunity late. So the last four games I basically got the job I was able to start and sort of ran with it.

Speaker 2:

Ran with it yeah, I threw for a whole bunch of yards, pretty on par made like second team all-conference in four games threw for almost 1,100, 1,200 yards as an 18-year-old yeah, 18, 19-year-old, something like that, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Like 13 touchdowns or something like that.

Speaker 2:

I think it was like 15, 16, yeah, in four games, that's, I don't play Four games.

Speaker 1:

Yeah about Went undefeated and you guys had some upsets right.

Speaker 2:

No well, I mean about when undefeated and you guys had some some upsets, right. No well, I mean we, we were considered like like a bottom of the conference and we beat some. We beat duquesne, who was like a top two team in the conference. That was my first, yeah, first game. Um threw for like 330, four or five touchdowns first duquesne, one in double overtime. Uh, fucking, I'll never forget that play.

Speaker 2:

We, uh we did a roll out mike. Love shout out my club. We did a little the seven on seven deal where you just the rub routes in a flat, rolled out so the pressure came through, avoided him, threw it to mike, let him make a play and scored. We all went crazy. The whole team stormed the field because I was liu's not since they moved up to Division I in 2019, not historically a very successful team at the Division I level, but that was like one of our first wins and we went crazy. We had a great time. Yeah, able to go 4-0. Yeah, looked good. I'll sort of keep going on my story. Huge freshman year Kind of was the shit on campus at like a small school which, like I had never experienced. Yeah, so smashing all the pussy.

Speaker 3:

I mean, I'm not my mom's watching us. I'm not going to say too much hey mom hey mom, I'm still a virgin.

Speaker 1:

I swear to God yeah perfect time for a sip of the mountain valley, mountain valley. Yeah, yeah, there you go, and maybe another rack.

Speaker 2:

yeah, maybe a few more, yeah, perfect time for a sip of the Mountain Valley, mountain Valley, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, there you go, and maybe another rack. Yeah, maybe a few more. Let Steven take over.

Speaker 2:

No, so just the way the game goes sometimes sophomore year, looking to have a huge year, we went into Ohio to our big FBS game and that year they were like one of the top defenses in the country at the end of the year. University of Ohio yeah, university of Ohio Went balled out, had a good game, Went to Bryant week. Two Bunch of rain delays, lightning delays. It was a night game. It was a weird deal. There was like a weird vibe to it. Went in, got hurt. Second quarter I was running the ball. Wet game went in, got hurt. Second quarter I uh, I was running the ball, wet game. Like I said, I was running the ball. I cut back, the guy stripped the ball from me and then the pursuit was coming and as I was going to dive for the ball, somebody tackled me and I sort of landed on my shoulder like that dislocated throwing shoulder. Uh, that was, that was a tough deal.

Speaker 3:

um that doesn't take long to come back from, though, right no, it no yeah.

Speaker 2:

dislocation, yeah, because dislocation is a torn labrum which is like the stabilizer of the shoulder they don't just pop it back in, no they pop it back in? Yeah, for sure, but as a quarterback, that's, yeah, it's.

Speaker 1:

That's a recipe for disaster.

Speaker 2:

So with the labrum. I'll give a little like anatomy class with the labrum. Its purpose is because the shoulder joint is more like this, like the hip joint is like this so it's a ball, so it's not coming out. But the shoulder is like this, so the labrum is there to protect it and keep it secure, as well as the muscles. So when you tear it, that thing's loose, that thing could come out at any moment. Obviously you want the muscles to be strong. So, uh, I couldn't go back in. I was, I was out for the rest of the year. So I was like, fuck that, like I'm not getting surgery, like I'm kind of anti all that stuff, all those conspiracies. Um. So I rehabbed like crazy, worked my ass off. Uh, the, the trainers did, we did a great job, uh, getting me back, came back the last two games, was able to play, but I I mean I could only throw it about like 40, 45 yards Like, and I was protected.

Speaker 1:

Like it hurt it hurt bad, because I remember you coming back down and we're working out and he's like man, I can, I've got a pitch count. I can only throw so many. You know routes and you know I'm not throwing anything deep and I mean he was still flicking the shit out of it, but yeah.

Speaker 3:

I. That's where you're leaving them right, yeah, but same thing. Did you get the surgery? Anti-surgery, yeah, anti-surgery. Is that where the conspiracies come in?

Speaker 1:

That's one of them, one of several, one of many, one of many.

Speaker 2:

So I came back. The last two games Couldn't throw up more than 40 yards, so we made it work. We had a two-quarterback thing going Ended ended up getting surgery in November.

Speaker 3:

Oh, so still did it.

Speaker 2:

Wow, wow, don't show my face.

Speaker 1:

Oh no.

Speaker 2:

Ended up getting surgery because, like I need. If I was doing football I would have said okay, that's it, I don't need surgery, just keep it strong and stay healthy. But no, like to be the player that I am, I need it, so got it.

Speaker 3:

I'm assuming the school made you do it almost.

Speaker 2:

Well, I mean, they're not going to put a gun to my head and make me do it Well.

Speaker 3:

I get that, but I'm saying, they were like hey, you should really do this.

Speaker 1:

But you know it's a pretty wild story. Our comparison is like Desmond was on here yesterday. He's saying that a big school, acc school, virginia Tech, they had no interest in doing his surgery and they, he said, they fucked it up and three times.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, the whole, the whole. Thing.

Speaker 1:

But then he goes to Rhode Island and he's like, yeah, the medical staff was unbelievable. So it's like almost these, you know these smaller schools like take care of their players a little bit more than.

Speaker 2:

I mean, yeah, I guess it just depends on the staff. How was it at South Carolina Like?

Speaker 3:

Oh God, let's hear about coach Spurrier again.

Speaker 2:

No, but just the trainers, like the doctors like, because at LIU I mean they, they definitely care for you. Like you get a good like relationship with the trainers, that's a good question, though how was it at South Carolina? To be honest man.

Speaker 1:

I thought, I thought they were, I thought they were great. You know, shout out Clint Haggard, since we're shouting out everybody there you go yeah, dr Clint, um, you know he was, he was awesome, uh, but awesome.

Speaker 1:

But I feel like there was some misdiagnosis there. You know, they said I had a concussion. I don't think I did. They were like yeah, you have a concussion, you're going to sit down. I'm like okay, your labrum's not torn, you don't need surgery. I was like well, I'm not getting surgery anyway. There's little things like that that I think about in my older years, that I think there's some sketchy shit going on.

Speaker 3:

I mean, were you playing during the CTE era? It was starting to just come out.

Speaker 1:

Nah, I think it was a little bit before. I think, I don't know.

Speaker 3:

Because you were concussed. That's why I mean to be fair at the big schools.

Speaker 2:

It is much more of a business. They need you on the field on Saturdays.

Speaker 1:

Like they got, they got to get you out there, so they can make money. So I can make $48 a weekend.

Speaker 2:

There you go.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so they can make $984 billion. He looked it up yesterday.

Speaker 1:

Jesus Christ yeah Insane, but like for, for an FCS could say it's more like personable and like they're not making 48, 46 billion, right, but I mean so. So you get the, you get the surgery. You're kind of fighting your way to get back into fighting shape.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, back to the same routine, the crazy rehab stuff to get to get back to it. Uh. But the good thing with being in New York is just everybody knows everybody being on Long Island. So I was fortunate enough to get the Yankees doctor, the Yankees team surgeon, to do my labrum. He's a elbow shoulder specialist. He was incredible, did a great job, pitch count. I was working my way getting back to it with our trainer, liv, shout out Liv, because we're doing shout outs, but she's gone now. We hate her for that, no, but so I I mean I was working my butt off. Um, we were doing, we're doing a good job. I was making good progress.

Speaker 2:

But by the time fall camp came around, the the volume of throwing. I just wasn't there yet, but we just tried to try to push it because the season's right around the corner of fall camp, that's basically season mode. Uh, so fall camp comes around. My arm starts hurting. Okay, we take a few days off. It feels better. Great, go again. Arm starts hurting. So it's like fuck, like season's here. What are we going to do? Right, week one comes around, I'm all right. Week two, it's hurting. Week three, it's hurting even more. So it's getting worse and worse as the weeks go, having to take Monday practice off. I tempo it Tuesday, I tempo it Wednesday, we're off Thursday, or I tempo it but Thursday's already light and then we're off Friday. So it's like I'm missing half the week of practice.

Speaker 2:

Is that because you didn't let it recover? What it was to me is we sort of took some gas off in terms of like rehab, like we focused so much on throwing, which was great because I got there, but we stopped rehab and strength training as much, so that just it wasn't as strong as it needed to be. So I just couldn't handle the volume and I basically got my spot taken because I just wasn't the player that I was or needed to be. So our quarterback came in, he balled out, he did a great job and a freshman also played. So all I was doing was and I took some time off because it's what it needed and I ended up feeling good, but I just wasn't the player that I needed to be, so basically just took an extra year to get my shoulder right. What year was this? This was my junior year last season 2024?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, last season Because you still played in 2024.

Speaker 2:

2024 I saw you had 748 yards, yeah. So I went up to week six and I mean it got. It got so bad, like pre-game I was trying to warm up as little as possible, like that's how bad it was, like just to save reps for the games, right, yeah, week six I basically they they said, listen, like we're gonna let the other guy go and and, uh, he played and he balled out. I also saw that you had four tackles. Four tackles, I don't think I had four tackles, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Get credited with four tackles.

Speaker 3:

It's on the LIU website.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I had a TFL, a sack fucking, interception Probably had all that oh shit Fucking. They see number 11, they just assume it's me. So yeah, the other guy took over. He did a great job. I think he was like an all-conference, like stat leader, like he's a great athlete, good quarterback too. Shout out Ethan, that's my boy. I'm just going to shout out the whole LIU.

Speaker 1:

Oh, yeah, go for it, go for it.

Speaker 2:

We'll tag them all. We'll tag them all. No, so yeah, now we sort of got to. He's the guy I still got to like prove that I can do it, and that will come in season.

Speaker 1:

Well, the spring game. You just had the spring game not too long ago.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean, we battled. We had a good spring semester overall, did well in the spring game. The coaches are definitely liking what they see. Yeah, I'm definitely.

Speaker 1:

I mean you should. We just got done working out you know this morning and I feel like you're 100 percent.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm fully back. It's like the best part about the spring was that I could handle the volume we were throwing. We were practicing three, four times a week and I was throwing on the off days and just to just to really push it, to see, to make sure that I can handle it and I mean now it's, it's kind of a blessing with you being down here till the end of our damn near the end of. June yeah.

Speaker 1:

You know he's got time to kind of work out down here with me and you know kind of do the beach stuff and you know he's got the cold plunge thing and, yeah, the rehab stuff, I mean there's. I feel like and I didn't realize this when I was playing I feel like everything happens for a reason, absolutely yeah. And you know it's hard to feel like that when you're kind of getting your balls punched in several times, you know with injuries, and now you're going to compete against a kid and it sucks, yeah. But I feel like everything happens for a reason, yeah, but I mean, that's life.

Speaker 2:

It is, and that's the great thing about college football. It's like it sets you up for so much adversity that you're going to go through in life.

Speaker 3:

Well, in real life, you're going to compete every single day, no matter what.

Speaker 2:

And then shit's not going to go your way. It's not going to be an injury.

Speaker 3:

I mean hopefully not Well, it'll.

Speaker 1:

you go one of two ways. You either step the fuck up or you're like this ain't for me. I got to change career paths, I got to change something. You know it goes one of two ways. So you know, with Luca and I feel like you know I want to take some sort of responsibility in it, that's like his attitude is like fuck it, I'm going to bust mass, I'm going to be this damn starter this year. You know, I feel like that's. I feel like my kind of the roach blood kind of wears off on roach blood.

Speaker 3:

There you guys saying that man roach. What does that mean? It doesn't.

Speaker 1:

What's, yeah, what what's going to survive? The fucking ai takeover roach roaches. Okay, I got you now roaches, man.

Speaker 3:

I said that shit yesterday. I'm like what the fuck is he talking? I'm telling you, it's my grandmother's, my grandmother man.

Speaker 1:

My grandmother is German and Native American and smoked cigarettes and she was 11 years old, had lung cancer, was smoking cigarettes the entire time. Still alive. No, she fucking got the COVID vaccine jab disintegrated. Damn. Went through chemotherapies, was still smoking cigarettes. Got cancer free, still ripping cigs. Covid comes around, gets the jab done. Yeah, just withered away. So that's another conspiracy. I didn't get it.

Speaker 3:

I didn't get it either I didn't either. Yeah, don't fucking get it.

Speaker 1:

I went to the doctor's office.

Speaker 3:

The first thing this guy asked me oh so, did you get the vaccine? I was like no. He was like okay, we're going to talk about that at a later visit. I'm like, bro, I ain't getting no motherfucking vaccine. They came up with it in like eight months. Right right, I'm taking no experimental drug, I'm telling you, man.

Speaker 1:

And so now we can kind of transition into the, into the conspiracy segment of this deal um, yeah, like when, when scarlet was born, my my you know, two-year-old masha just gave birth, literally just just gave birth. First thing, the nurses and the whoever's you know delivering. Do you guys want the? You know this, this, that? Do you want the COVID vaccine? I was like what the fuck? No, absolutely not. I said.

Speaker 1:

I said as a matter of fact, don't ever ask me that again. And I, you know, I snuck in some, some bourbon and some tequila, so I was like don't you fucking ask that again.

Speaker 2:

I was going to say you snuck it for Scarlett.

Speaker 1:

I've been through like the hospital system and sleeping on those mattresses over you know several nights and I was like I got to get bamboozled to be able to sleep on this freaking rock.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, I mean you know, so we'll kind of transition, actually hold on. Before I transition to that, what are you studying? What's?

Speaker 2:

your major Sports management. That's right. Yeah, that's right. Sports management and then I'm going to do my graduate degree in sports management next year. Is that like trying to be an agent type? Deal I mean the way I describe it. It's like the business for sports. It's like so fucking broad, like you could really ideally go, really ideally. You go to law school to be an agent. I don't think you need to legally, but it's heavily encouraged, yeah absolutely so.

Speaker 3:

would you get into coaching?

Speaker 2:

You could do coaching. Really, you need a college degree to do coaching. You could do facility management. You could work at an office in the NFL or college. You could go be an athletic director. It's super fucking broad. Could you be a GM?

Speaker 1:

I think, yeah mean, I feel like anything in sports management related super broad.

Speaker 2:

So I mean, like, like anybody with college, you just got to make connections and then see where fucking life takes you.

Speaker 3:

I mean you don't want to go for like psychology or something no, no, so I'm not.

Speaker 2:

I'm not going to be a doctor, definitely not a psychologist or psychiatrist pick one one.

Speaker 1:

I mean that was my major, that's funny.

Speaker 3:

Desmond was saying the same shit, bro.

Speaker 1:

Was that what you did? So I did sociology with a minor in psychology.

Speaker 2:

You wouldn't fucking survive a day being a sociology major at LIU.

Speaker 3:

So liberal, so liberal I bet it is man, it's in New York. Yeah, yeah, it's a liberal arts school. I mean yeah, yeah, it's a liberal arts school.

Speaker 2:

I mean, but Long Island is the rich part of New.

Speaker 3:

York man. Long Island is nice, especially our area, Like our area code is.

Speaker 2:

I mean, it's pretty red. You'd be surprised. Well, that's where all the money is, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, there you go. It makes sense. All the poor places are blue. Yeah, so now we're here, yeah, I.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if we want to get into that political aspect I'm still playing.

Speaker 3:

My opinions are not that affiliated with sports and suits. Those opinions are that of just mine.

Speaker 1:

They also are sports and suits. I was actually going to wear the blacked out Make America Great hat again. We can all edit this shit out. Just so you know, I don't really care, I don't. I'm saying for you. I don't know if that'll kind of Maybe it will, maybe it won't.

Speaker 3:

We'll see we can send you the episode prior.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, we'll send it to you and then, if you want it, it's all pre-recorded Because.

Speaker 3:

I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if he's able to do that, since he's a coach probably not we'll see, but yeah, I mean, you know, I got one thing to say about that.

Speaker 3:

You ever see that movie where, uh, it's uh, um, the big dude, uh and uh mark walberg, where he's like a gambling degenerate, yeah, and then he has the the point where he says you want to do that from a position of fuck you, yeah, yeah, and that's kind of where I'm at.

Speaker 1:

That's a great scene.

Speaker 3:

That's a great scene if you could say anything, do it from a position of fuck you.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there you go, I agree, I agree and that's kind of why you know, sean and I wanted to start this podcast is to let guys not be so coached up and like say the right political, right thing and it's like just speak from what the hell you want to say you could tell he's media trained like crazy, though. I don't know. I've heard.

Speaker 3:

I've heard well, he's in front of a camera, right?

Speaker 2:

so I mean yeah, I know the deal with this podcast, so I'm going to speak more freely.

Speaker 1:

We've known each other for damn near a decade yeah, oh, you've known him since six years old six years, six grade, I don't know how old you are, but it's, he's got a.

Speaker 3:

He's got a really cool like half your life deal going with the?

Speaker 1:

uh, I mean kind of talk about the, the, the factory, and like the, I mean he just went to australia. Was that last? That was last summer, right?

Speaker 2:

yeah, so my stepdad's australian um so fortunate enough to go there. I I've been there three times. I fucking love Australia. It's I mean it is a bit crazy.

Speaker 3:

Like politics. It's a bit crazy, no, but our bitch is bad.

Speaker 2:

Australian women are beautiful.

Speaker 3:

So you go. So that's the thing, margot Robbie boom, I'd say it's.

Speaker 2:

It's honestly similar to America, but where it didn't go wrong is like everyone's fit, basically Like obesity hasn't hit Australia, no shit At all. Like everyone's fit. Tall, skinny, like athletic Blonde, blue eyes yeah, a lot of those. Whatever you want, just tall and skinny.

Speaker 1:

There's no horizontally challenged people there, but you guys are going through the Outback and shit, though yeah, I mean we've been all over. You got to see their. I don't even know what. Do you call it A trailer or an RV? The Bruder.

Speaker 2:

The.

Speaker 1:

Bruder the RV. Yeah the thing is, it looks like a military deal.

Speaker 2:

Is it on Instagram? Yeah, yeah, bruder.

Speaker 1:

I actually don't know if it's it's it's brooder man, it is a, it looks like a military vehicle and they, you guys, went around the outback and like stayed in there, right so I didn't.

Speaker 2:

But my, my uh stepbrother and stepdad, they, they took it, took motorbikes, uh, went camped in it, went to the outback, went to the coast and took it on the sand and they have a drone that they go, they like following it around. I mean it was elite.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean that's a sick deal, yeah, elite. And then you know you got the factory deal if you want to. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that thing.

Speaker 2:

Bruder. Yep, and they got a bunch of different models. So this thing's fucking meant to withstand World War III. Wait and three. Um, wait and look at the tires. Man, yeah, flexible axles, yeah, that'll that.

Speaker 1:

And roaches are going to survive. Yeah, yeah, yeah, um, but I mean, talk about the factory and, like you're, you're going there right after this and we're gonna do that tomorrow and cold plunge sauna.

Speaker 2:

So my step dad's got a cold plunge company that he's been working on for a while. Uh, emerge, e R M or not E M R J. Emerge, shout out, emerge. And uh, yeah, I'm going to go do some cold plunges. They've they've done a really good job making high quality plunges. He's going to come. He's going to come tomorrow, experience it. Yeah, uh, cold as shit, good, good.

Speaker 1:

I need a little rounds, I need a cold, a cold shock to the system.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you need to sweat some things out too.

Speaker 1:

Sweat it out to put it right back in.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, sweat out the racks.

Speaker 1:

But I mean. So then also kind of talk about the what is it Sunday swim.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So on Long Island it's cold as shit in the winter. So what we do is the biggest cold plunger you can find is the ocean. So we'll go in the dead of winter every sunday and, uh, jump in the ocean, do some dances fucking you're. You're freezing your ass off.

Speaker 3:

So we get out. Fuck that bro.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, a lot of people do, I wouldn't blame you.

Speaker 3:

I mean, there's been times I've said fuck that I'm born and raised in tampa and like, if the water ain't like 89, I ain't getting it.

Speaker 2:

It's a bath right now fucking the gulf of america.

Speaker 3:

Shout out, yeah I love it only in america, yeah no, I mean that's that's nice too.

Speaker 2:

I like that. Yeah, it's, it's different, but uh, the cold water is good on a hot summer day oh, it's refreshing, but absolutely. Yeah, sunday swims a group uh, brendan cook shout out, did a great job, uh with that deal. It's a community that goes out almost every Sunday and jumps in the water, hold hands, do a circle, do a plunge, and then you get out and you get in your car and crank the heater up because the winds blow and it's 30 degrees, the water is 35.

Speaker 3:

It's freezing, sounds like they're training Navy SEALs out there man, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah seriously.

Speaker 2:

That's a whole different kind of cold too.

Speaker 3:

That's salt water and it's circulating. Oh god, that's yeah.

Speaker 2:

When you get out, it's the worst part because the wind chills what gets you. Yeah, the wind chills what gets you. The water sometimes warmer than outside, so when it's rainy and windy, that's the worst combination brutal is that like some kind of health benefit that you guys are doing that for?

Speaker 3:

yeah, same.

Speaker 2:

well, I mean, it's mostly mental for me, honestly, but obviously the cold plunge has health benefits for sure.

Speaker 1:

It's supposed to be anti-inflammatory and stuff like that.

Speaker 2:

It helps with brown fats and stuff and gets your metabolism going.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, man, I'll tell you what this was. Good man, I was glad to get you on here. Let's kind of skipped the conspiracy stuff. Yeah, hold on. That may be another episode.

Speaker 2:

We could talk for a lot longer yeah.

Speaker 3:
