Wallerstein led the Lancers to a 7-3 overall record in 2013 passing for 1,902 yards with 28 passing and three rushing TDs. Wallerstein is good size at 6'3"and 200 lbs and has a strong - in five games he had TD passes over 50 yards - and an accurate - going 93 of 168 attempts or 55.5% - arm. He scored seven touchdowns in a game, an impressive feat chronciled here by NorthJersey.com.
Wallerstein, a co-captain of the Lancers, showed a lot of maturity and leadership after the game when he stated "how the offensive line protected me phenomenally and how my receivers and running backs helped me out throughout the game." Aside from being an excellent QB, Adam is an aspiring writer a skill he's sure to improve on at HWS.
Unless another recruit or transfer comes into camp, Adam will be the sixth QB on the Statesmen roster this fall. Last season Hobart brought in (rising) SO QBs Troy Anthony and Dillon Russo. If you have concerns that the Statesmen are stockpiling QBs, you should note that this is luxury most teams would like to have. Hobart's multiple QBs (e.g., a strong starter with a solid, if not equal backup) running the offense has been a winning formula for the Statesmen for several seasons when you consider:
2010 - Vella and Strang: Vella started all but the Union game which Strang won in 2OT, scoring six TDs
2011 - Strang and Olney: Strang started all but the NCAA playoff game which Olney threw for 200+ yards in a narrow 35-28 loss to then #3 Wesley
2012 - Strang and Olney: Strang started but Olney played a significant role in several games, especially in the NCAA playoffs
2013 - Conlan and Bayly: Conlan started all but Bayly appeared in nine games, passing for two TDs
This depth is a big reason for Hobart's recent run of three straight LL titles and playoff runs.
Please join me in welcoming Adam into the Statesmen Football family.
Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
