Pennsylvania – In a statewide landscape where quarterbacks are often defined by size and flash, Josiah “JoJo” Everett has carved out a reputation driven by consistent production, smart decision-making, and leadership beyond his years. A junior quarterback at West Catholic in Philadelphia, Everett has already demonstrated the type of on-field impact that college coaches look for — and done it against real varsity competition with real results.

Putting Up Numbers in a Competitive Region

Everett doesn’t just own the ball; he efficiently moves it. Through most of the 2024 season, he has compiled over 1,100 passing yards, multiple touchdowns, and complete command of the offensive rhythm. Over his varsity career (freshman + sophomore + junior seasons), Everett has amassed 5,241 yards and 50 touchdowns over three seasons, including two years at William Penn and one year at West Catholic. His ability to distribute the football consistently, even under defensive pressure, sets him apart in a state where passing production can be scarce. Those numbers not only place him near the top of Pennsylvania’s statistical leaderboard, but they also reflect a player who makes his offense go.

Performance Earns Recognition

Everett has been repeatedly recognized by his team and his community as a difference-maker. Throughout the 2023 and 2024 seasons, he’s earned multiple Player of the Game honors in big wins and an All Catholic Honorable Mention. These accolades showcase his ability to step up in critical moments and lift his offense when it matters most. Those accolades aren’t handed out casually; they come from consistent high-level effort, leadership on the field, and the trust of his coaching staff.

Why Everett Is More Than Just Stats

What jumps off the film, beyond the yards and touchdowns, is Everett’s command of the game.

At 5’11”, 158 pounds, he may not fit the traditional “pocket passer prototype,” but he makes up for it with:

Smart pre-snap reads
Quick decisions under pressure
An ability to move the pocket and extend plays when necessary
Compact, clean mechanics that minimize turnovers

Those traits have made him a reliable offensive leader for William Penn, and they are precisely the kind of qualities college evaluators covet in quarterbacks who can grow into complex systems.

Leadership You Can See

Everett isn’t just a statistical leader; he’s a team leader. As a junior signal-caller, he’s earned the respect of his teammates and coaches by staying composed in adversity, pushing his teammates, and setting an example in the film room and on the practice field. Those intangible qualities, poise under fire, accountability, and competitive fire, separate good high school QBs from collegiate starters.

Academic Commitment Backing His Athletic Grind

The modern student-athlete isn’t built in the athletic arena alone, and Everett excels off the field as well. With an impressive GPA well above the national average for high school athletes, he balances an intense academic schedule with varsity leadership responsibilities, positioning himself as a desirable recruit academically and athletically.

A Quarterback Built for the Next Level

College coaches alike want quarterbacks who can:

Manage the game effectively
Distribute the ball with accuracy
Make smart, competitive decisions
Grow and adapt within an offensive system

Everett checks all those boxes — and he does it while consistently elevating his teammates and keeping his offense on schedule.

Why Coaches Should Take Notice Now

The traits that make Everett a potential college quarterback don’t show up only in numbers; they show up in tape, leadership, and on-field intelligence. A junior with consistent stats, multiple player-of-the-game performances, and an upward trajectory in efficiency is a rare commodity, especially from a state like Delaware, where fewer quarterbacks garner national attention.
