“This is a game I’ve put a lot of effort into and that I love. For me, you can’t compare anything to a Friday night.” Minnehaha Academy QB Jalen Suggs “That’s the best part: Being there for the team, cheering them on, bringing them together.” Buffalo quarterback Aidan Bouman Star Tribune and SportsEngine photos | Star Tribune illustration (The Minnesota Star Tribune)

Has Minnesota ever had two such highly regarded quarterback prospects in the same class as Jalen Suggs of SMB and Aidan Bouman of Buffalo? Suggs, perhaps best known as an elite basketball recruit from Minnehaha Academy, is a 6-5, 200-pound dual-threat quarterback who has six Power Five conference scholarship offers to play football. Bouman, a rifle-armed 6-6 classic drop-back pro-style passer, threw for 3,500 yards and 41 touchdowns in 2018 and has committed to Iowa State.
