Watch: Rutgers football commit A.J. Surace throws three touchdowns for Notre Dame Prep

Rutgers football commit A.J. Surace was outstanding this weekend for Notre Dame Prep.

A.J. Surace continues to show why he should be considered one of the top quarterbacks in the nation. The Rutgers football recruit had a big weekend in leading Notre Dame Prep (Lawrenceville, New Jersey) to an important win.

Surace was 11-of-15 for 150 yards and three touchdowns in Notre Dame’s  35-34 win over Hopewell Valley (h/t to the Trentonian). Notre Dame is now 9-0 on the season.

He also had 73 rushing yards and a touchdown on eight carries.

Surace has thrown just one interception all season and has 23 passing touchdowns.

In February, Surace committed to Rutgers, becoming one of the first commits in the class of 2024. He held an offer list that included Power Five programs Boston College, Duke, Indiana, Michigan State, Northwestern, Pittsburgh and Tennessee.

He is ranked a three-star recruit and the ninth-best player in New Jersey by 24Sports.

Also on the Notre Dame roster is Gabriel Winowich. A four-star running back, Winowich was another early commit to Rutgers.

Wrong number? Michigan high school team ends up on FaceTime with Tom Brady

This is the GOAT speaking…

Who dis?

FaceTime and Zoom mishaps have been well documented in the past year or so, with more folks using the mediums to connect with friends, family and even meetings for work.

And while some of the documented follies have teetered on catastrophic or severely humiliating, not all the blunders have caused unwanted circumstances.

Just ask the members of the boys’ freshmen basketball team at Notre Dame Prep (Pontiac, Mich.).

What started as a simple group text for practices and ride-sharing possibilities quickly turned into one of the greatest FaceTimes in the history of FaceTimes.

The silver-lined mistake? Vinny Tartaglia, who was in charge of the numbers, was off one digit when he imputed his teammate Luca’s. Instead of including him, the error in the text chain found its way to a locker room—the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ locker room—and Michigan native and Bucs cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting.

“Ya’ll meant to add me to this?” he replied.

After a bit of expected skepticism, what followed was pure internet joy—a powwow that included the likes of Rob Gronkowski, Richard Sherman, Leonard Fournette …

…and yes, Tom Brady!

According to the report, the call ended as perfectly as it started, too, with Murphy-Bunting adding a final nod to the team:

“Ball out this season!”
