“Kyle McCord has a gifted arm and the football IQ to go with it. There isn’t a throw he can’t make, and his line of scrimmage adjustments are outstanding. I’ve been here 40 years and in my opinion he’s the best quarterback ever (to come out of) the city.”

John Steinmetz

Head Coach head coach at La Salle College High
