Don Bosco Prep's (NJ) Frank Nutile is in his first season as the starting quarterback for the Ironmen. Nutile possess the measurables and talent to be as successful as his predecessors at the position. At 6-4 and 200 pounds, Nutile has the prototypical size of a pro style quarterback along with a great arm. Nutile has the ability to make every throw and has the arm strength to hit sideline routes to the field.
Don Bosco is off to a 4-1 start, including an impressive win over St. Thomas Aquinas in Florida. The Ironmen's long winning streak was ended by Gilman (MD) in their first game of the season. Nutile is off to a good start to the season.
