Ashburn (Feb. 23, 2011) - Broad Run High School junior quarterback Connor Jessop has received his first scholarship offer, from the University of Richmond. More offers are likely to come from the 6-foot-4 Jessop who threw for more than 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns despite playing just four games last season due to injury.
As a sophomore Jessop threw for 1,336 yards and 14 touchdowns and scored five on the ground as he led the Spartans to a VHSL Division 4 state title and perfect 14-0 season. In the 21-16 title game win over Amherst, with star running back T.J. Peeler injured early, Jessop calmly threw for three scores on 12 of 20 for 135 yards.
Jessop's junior season was derailed with a broken collarbone in the second week of the season but he returned in the playoffs to lead Broad Run to the Region II title game where the Spartans fell, 24-21, to rival Briar Wood despite Jessop throwing for three scores and 274 yards on 21 of 26 passing. Jessop's numbers for 2010 projected out to a full season would have been an incredible 39 touchdowns and 3,209 passing yards.
