Cavaliers, Wildcats request film on Sumter QB

This has not been a good year for senior quarterbacks in the Carolinas, but one of the best of the current crop is starting to draw more attention. Both Virginia and Kentucky have recently requested film on Sumter’s Stephen Curtis, according to offensive coordinator Grayson Howell.

Curtis, the second-best true QB prospect in South Carolina after Duncan Byrnes’ Chas Dodd (committed to Rutgers), has good size at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds. And he’s having another strong season, with 1,660 yards passing, a total that includes 23 TDs. He has rushed for eight more scores.

Howell also said that over the past few weeks, Curtis had been an “invited guest” at The Citadel, Liberty and Elon.

As the available QB prospects commit, things appear to be heating up for Curtis.
