INDIANAPOLIS – Louisville quarterback commit Jack Sorgi was exceptional on Friday night, leading Lizton (Ind.) Tri-West to a dominant 47-29 road victory over Indianapolis (Ind.) Brebeuf. In the process he showed that he is one of the top signal-callers in the country in the 2027 class.

The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Sorgi threw for 332 yards and four touchdowns, and added a rushing score in a game that had a running clock for much of the second half.

Sorgi can easily flick the ball downfield, he’s accurate and on time with the football, makes quick decisions, plays with tremendous confidence and has the leadership traits coveted at the position.

Louisville coach Jeff Brohm, offensive coordinator Brian Brohm and the Cardinals offered after having Sorgi in camp in the summer. Easy to see why after the show he put on against a football team in Brebeuf that has consistently played for state championships.

“He’s gifted with size,” Tri-West head coach Jason Ward said. They are a farm-town school located about 35 minutes Northwest of downtown Indianapolis. “Obviously good bloodline. He’s got a good quarterback coach in Jim Sorgi. He’s just very confident but not cocky. Very smart and cerebral. Can read a defense and he stays in the pocket. He understands the pocket. If it’s pressure he shifts and still looks downfield. He’s not looking to take off.”

Sorgi’s father shined at Wisconsin before playing seven seasons in the NFL. Six were with the Indianapolis Colts and he was part of the team that won Super Bowl XLI. Through the first two games of the season the younger Sorgi has thrown for 608 yards and seven touchdowns, completing nearly 68 percent of his attempts.

“If you want to go watch the 2005 Colts you can and we’re running the same stuff they are,” Ward said. “We built the offense around him. Last year he was kind of running our offense. This year, in the off-season we were like we have a special player here. We cannot mess this up. This is a once-in-a-lifetime quarterback. We built an offense around him. His dad is our passing game coordinator.”

Sorgi is coming off a strong sophomore campaign where he completed nearly 60 percent of his passes for 1,729 yards and 19 touchdowns to four interceptions. He added another 225 rushing yards and four more scores. He’s obviously on another level in year two as the starter.

“I find it tough to coach and not just watch him,” the elder Sorgi said after the game. “Tonight there’s not much to critique. He did a good job throwing it to the right guy, reading the defense, buying time, getting us into the right play. I couldn’t be more proud of him and this football team.”

Sorgi was hitting chunk plays left and right, throwing precise footballs over defenders for big gains. There was a play-action touchdown pass in the second quarter. The command of the game, knowing where to go with the football, Sorgi was in rhythm from the first snap.

“He’s got a big arm so if the big throw is there he can take it,” the elder Sorgi said. “But his biggest progression (from last season) was if the big throw is not there coming down to a fly route or coming to a back and throwing those kinds of routes and really keeping drives going. Best drive of the night we got the ball on the 15-yard line and we go 85 yards, pick up some key first downs and then ended up scoring a touchdown to go up three scores.”

When Sorgi gets to college he’ll be ahead of the curve from a typical high school quarterback with the stuff Tri-West is running.

“A lot of what we did from the 2005, 2006, 2007 era when we had Marv (Harrison) and Reggie (Wayne) and Dallas (Clark) and Joe Addai and Edge (James) in the backfield, we’re doing a lot of that in the offense now. A lot of the tight end attached, two tight ends, outside zone, inside zone, play action off it, nakeds, getting up to the line of scrimmage.”

Coach Sorgi says his son has more traits than he ever did.

“He’s got my size, my height, my build but he’s got a much better arm than me, bigger hands than me and he’s better looking than me and he’s smarter than me on the football field I can tell you that much.”

Sorgi got his offer from Louisville on June 5 and by the end of the month gave the Cardinals his pledge. 

“The coaching staff and culture they put there is awesome and what Coach Brohm has done with quarterbacks, he’s 6-for-6 with quarterbacks going to the NFL and there’s no place I’d rather be.”

Sorgi will be back at Louisville for the Cardinals opener on Saturday.

“Really excited to go down there and see what Louisville’s got,” Sorgi said. “Can’t wait to see the coaching staff again. See Jeff and Brian.”

The younger Sorgi will be riding high from this win on the drive down.

“It’s awesome,” Sorgi said. “With a week of preparation we felt like we could come in here and really put a beating on them. And this was our first time ever beating them. Having that record against them it’s really nice to finally put it to them.”
