Virginia Commit Josiah Teasley Shines at Penn State with Precision Passing from Kash Carter

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — With elite programs and national scouts lining the fields, Penn State’s largest summer team camp was expected to deliver top-tier performances. It did—and then some. But while the camp featured dozens of respected programs and future college stars, a rising quarterback-wide receiver duo from Maryland stole the spotlight. In just a few reps, Kash Carter and Josiah Teasley turned heads, sparked sideline whispers, and changed the conversation about who’s next out of the DMV.

Kash Carter: A Quarterback Ahead of Schedule

Carter, a 2026 quarterback who recently transferred to St. James Academy, isn’t just gaining momentum—he’s establishing himself as one of the most complete quarterback prospects in the Mid-Atlantic. Standing tall in the pocket and delivering strikes across all three levels, Carter showed a command of PME’s (Playmakers Elite) offense that belied his age. In one particular series that had onlookers buzzing, Carter surveyed the field, held the safety with his eyes, and dropped a perfectly timed deep ball over the shoulder of Teasley. It was the type of throw you expect from a Saturday starter, not a rising junior.

“He has the arm, the poise, and the presence,” said a Penn State Booster. “More important is how naturally he can elevate the guys around him.”

Carter’s growth is no accident. He’s a two-time 2,200+ yard passer known for his relentless work ethic and evolving leadership. Now, the DMV star is taking his talents to where he can reach high heights, playing on the national stage with the newly established St. James Academy. 

Teasley x Carter: A Chemistry You Can’t Fake

For Josiah Teasley, a Virginia commit and PME standout, the Penn State camp was another opportunity to showcase why Power Five programs see him as a future difference-maker. The 6-foot-5, 190-pound playmaker ran crisp routes, made contested grabs, and consistently found separation from defenders. But what stood out most was his synergy with Carter, two players operating on the same frequency, turning every rep into a clinic.

“Kash knows where I’m going to be. I trust him,” Teasley told URA after a red-zone touchdown that won PME the game. “We just work. It’s not about flash—it’s about results.”

Their connection was electric. And real. It is not just camp chemistry but the type of connection that makes a difference on Fridays, Saturdays, and maybe even Sundays down the line. It may be too soon to talk Sundays, but let’s be honest—they made it look effortless in State College.

Darryl Overton’s Blueprint for St. James Academy

Behind this success story is Coach Darryl Overton, the DMV football architect and founder of PME. Now the head coach at St. James Academy, Overton is putting together a new high school football powerhouse for the region’s top talent. His vision combines elite coaching, advanced development, and national exposure into one ecosystem. And with players like Carter and Teasley leading the way, that vision materializes quickly. St. James already looks like a destination program in its inaugural varsity season—and the duo of Carter and Teasley is the foundation.

The Bigger Picture: A New Era for DMV Football

Penn State’s team camp was full of stars, but few made the kind of statement that Carter and Teasley delivered. They didn’t just make plays, they made an impression. Their performance was the perfect storm of preparation, chemistry, and big-stage poise in a landscape where recruiting windows are shorter and exposure is everything. With URA on-site to document and promote their journey and Coach Overton constructing a platform that rivals national programs, the DMV is becoming more than a pipeline—it’s a launching pad.
