Quarterback Noah Mclendon has taken his talents from Bishop Sycamore in Columbus to Westerville South High in Westerville for the final two seasons of his high school career. No matter the play call, the 6’2″, 190 pound, dual-threat playmaker has the ability to make dynamic plays as a runner and a passer using his athleticism, field vision, and strong arm to escape defenders while making strong and accurate throws all over the field.
This Class of 2023 recruit is currently working hard to earn his first offer and has already garnered interest from several big-time programs including Arizona State and Florida State.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with the rising young quarterback to talk about his transfer, his new team and get an update on his recruiting process.
