One of the next up and coming stars in the New Orleans area is junior quarterback Garrett Mmahat at Brother Martin. During the first two games of the 2020 season, the 6’1”, 175-pound, playmaker has thrown for 490 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for an additional 149 yards.

Mmahat is already a great leader on the playing field, has the ability to escape pressure in the pocket to keep plays alive, and can take off running to gain yards on the ground when needed. He also has great arm strength to make all kinds of throws and uses his athleticism to beat defenses.

Interest from college coaching staffs is already building for Mmahat and it’s only a matter of time before his recruiting process explodes. A deeper look into the rising talent, college coaches will like seeing he holds a 4.3 GPA.

In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with the Crusaders quarterback to talk about his junior season at Brother Martin and get an update on his recruiting process.

Interview
