It can be difficult for some high school quarterbacks to stand out. Sharing a last name with a famous Pro Bowl QB certainly doesn’t hurt, though. Just ask Arch Manning, who was the #1 set overall in the class of 2023 and has plenty of talent, but also benefits from the Manning last name.
Although he doesn’t have the same star power, Xaverian Brothers (Mass.) quarterback Henry Hasselbeck should get a boost in that department as well. Henry is the son of the former Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck – and he’s getting ready to choose where he’ll play college football soon.

Two weeks ago, Hasselbeck shared his junior highlight Hudl. And now he’s looking ahead to his senior campaign under center.
Hasselbeck (6-foot-3, 170 pounds) has a three-star rating from 247Sports and is ranked #49 among defenders in the class of 2024
So far, he has suggestions from Boston College, Bowling Green, Dartmouth, Georgia Tech, Pitt, UAB and Western Michigan.
