2024 Georgia Tech Quarterback Commit Aaron Philo Breaks Georgia's All-Time High School Passing Yardage Record
Georgia Tech commit Aaron Philo made history tonight in the State Championship game.
Former Clemson quarterback and current Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence's all-time record for passing yards by a quarterback in the State of Georgia was broken in today's Class 1A, Division 1 State Championship Game between Prince Avenue Christian and Swainsboro.
Lawrence had the record of 13, 902 yards coming into the season, but Philo was in reach of getting the record and he did today. He has been one of the most prolific quarterbacks in Georgia High School History and today wrapped up his career at that level before he gets on The Flats and plays for Brent Key.
Philo is one of two quarterback commits that Georgia Tech has in its class for 2024. He has had a great high school career and his development under Buster Faulkner and Chris Weinke will be something to watch over the newest few seasons. Philo could challenge for the starting job once Haynes King is done at Georgia Tech.
