Heritage Hall won’t display the full effect of its first team until Week 1 of the regular season.
Quarterback Quinn Shanbour, who is being recruited by several NCAA Division I schools, is ineligible to scrimmage with the Chargers’ first team because he transferred from Bishop McGuinness before the start of last season, so he worked with the second team during last week’s scrimmage against Holland Hall.
Senior receiver Sterling Shepard, an Oklahoma commit, was the signal caller for the first team.
The same arrangement will be necessary during Thursday’s scrimmage at Oklahoma Christian School.
Shanbour participated in both of McGuinness’ scrimmages last season and transferred before the opener. The OSSAA rule says that Shanbour has to sit out the same number of varsity contests he participated in last year.
Shepard said he will play quarterback some this season, like he did last year, in Wildcat-type formations.
“I hadn’t been practicing it at all,” Shepard said of quarterbacking. “I just went into the scrimmage dry. But I did OK. I completed most of my passes.”

Hey guys, thanks for reading. Quinn took a visit to Arizona in early May, and he told me that he’s also received some interest from Tulsa, SMU, Wake Forest and Dartmouth.
No doubt this kid will have impressive stats this year. Slip screens and 5 yard swing passes will get him a lot of yards and a high completion percentage.
Shanbour might have decent stats this season, being surrounded by such good athletes. But sorry Arizona, all we’ve really seen him do so far is quit on a team that was counting on him the day before game 1. Division-1 schools tend to look for team players, not guys who disgrace the game by having their own merits ranking above team success.
What D-1 schools are recruiting or have offered to Quinn Shanbour as a quarterback?
