The 6-foot-6, 222-pound Gunnell passed notable Texas quarterbacks along the way including Drew Brees, Nick Foles, Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford, Case Keenum, Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield. 

Gunnell is fifth all-time in single-season passing yards with 4,973 in 2016 (12 games). Last season's 4,936 yards rank sixth all-time. 

Gunnell committed to ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ in June and is the highest-ranked recruit of the 2019 class. He spoke to the Star's Michael Lev earlier this season about what his future holds as a quarterback. 

“I think I’m at the lowest part of my potential honestly,� Gunnell said. “That’s in my head. I know to never stop grinding. That’s a constant thing — to keep learning.�

The future ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ quarterback will graduate in the winter and plans to enroll at UA in January for the spring semester.

“I’ve got it all set up,� Gunnell said. “I’ve got all the credits. It’s basically a free semester to get used to college life, learn the style of the program and get with the players before summer starts.�

St. Pius X is 7-1 this season and will head into a bye next week before playing Antonian Prep in San Antonio on Nov. 2.
