Snellville (Ga.) Brookwood four-star quarterback Dylan Lonergan is one of the top signal-callers in the 2023 cycle. The Alabama commit showcased his throwing skills on Friday night against Cumming (Ga.) South Forsyth.

From outside the red zone, Lonergan uncorked a high-spiraling throw towards the back right corner of the end zone. Wide receiver Bryce Dopson reeled in the score. The duo connected for three touchdowns against South Forsyth.

The 6-foot-1, 220 pound prospect is the No. 79 overall prospect and No. 9 quarterback in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 4 player in Georgia.

Lonergan is one of 10 top-100 recruits in Alabama’s 2023 recruiting class, which ranks No. 1 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings. He is the Crimson Tide’s second quarterback commit alongside Zachary (La.) four-star Eli Holstein, the No. 59 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus. 

Lonergan has an On3 NIL Valuation of $333K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Dylan Lonergan On3 Scouting Summary 

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Dylan Lonergan:

“Talented passer who doubles as a standout on the gridiron and the baseball diamond. Highly touted baseball prospect who holds multiple Power 5 baseball offers, with the possibility of being a MLB Draft pick. Shows touch and accuracy as a passer at all levels of the field. Layers the football well, but can turn up the heat if needed on tight window throws. Productive while facing strong competition. Threw for nearly 3,400 yards and 32 touchdowns with just 3 interceptions as a junior. 

Mobile and creative with his legs. Ran for over 600 yards and 7 touchdowns as a junior. Has a stocky build, measuring between 6-foot-1 and 6-foot-2 and around 220 pounds. Mechanics can falter when the pocket collapses. Arm talent combined with his accuracy makes him one of the safer quarterback prospects in the country despite being on the older end for his class. Father was a quarterback at Penn State in the early 1980’s and won a national championship with them in 1982.”
