For the roster full of top-level NCAA Division I talent, led by DeMatha Catholic (Maryland) High School coach Elijah Brooks, the U.S. U-19s recognize the game provides the bookend to their prep careers.

“They understand this is it for them, so they’re bringing a real sense of enjoyment to practice,” said Brooks, who was an assistant on last year’s U-17 Select team. “They’re having fun, they’re loose, but when it’s time to kick it up, they’re focused and locked in.”

The squad features what USA Football U.S. National Team Senior Manager Aaron Ingram considers the top three-man quarterback rotation in International Bowl history:

Virginia Tech-bound Quincy Patterson (6-4, 230; Chicago)

Oklahoma State signee Spencer Sanders (6-2, 195; Denton, Texas)

And Mississippi State commit Jalen Mayden (6-3, 210; Sachse, Texas), featured in this five-part video series:

“All three guys are really talented players. We’re excited to see what they can do on Friday,” Brooks said. “They all have strong arms, they’re accurate, they’re dual-threat guys, but most importantly, they’re great leaders who have a real rapport with their teammates.”

Brooks gets to coach three of his own players from DeMatha Catholic – defensive lineman Austin Fontaine (6-2, 309) and offensive lineman Evan Gregory (6-4, 290), both headed to Maryland; and defensive back and Pittsburgh-bound Judson Tallandier (6-2, 180).
