Our week 5 Game Changer of the Week delivered touchdown passes to five different Hornet receivers on Friday. Give credit to 5-foot-11 Flour Bluff senior quarterback Jayden Paluseo on doing a great job of spreading the wealth.
“Think it just shows how diverse and how many weapons we have on the offensive side of the ball,” Paluseo said. “If you want to try to double one person that means you leave another weapon 1-on-1 and it’s tough for opposing defenses.”
Paluseo was laser focused as the Hornets defeated Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Memorial 55-17. He completed 16 of 18 passes for 260 yards.
“I feel like he was locked in so much last week where he’s able to find what they’re doing and really get a good look at it,” Brian Baker, Flour Bluff offensive coordinator, said.
He also rushed for 40 yards and 1 touchdown.
“He’s pretty elusive too,” Baker said. “If they are covering stuff he is able to use his legs and make the most of that with his legs.”
Paluseo has been able to make adjustments because his linemen have given him enough time.
