BRISTOL, Conn. — As all eyes focus on the high school football state championships this Saturday, Bristol Central High School Senior Victor Rosa was honored as the state's top player by Gatorade.
Rosa, who has verbally committed to play at UConn next season, led the state in rushing with 2,728 yards and 41 total touchdowns.
He helped Bristol Central to the state quarterfinals and a final record of 9-2. Rosa also played quarterback this season and had 849 yards through the air.
The senior captain was also a force on defense. The free safety had 50 tackles, but perhaps what is most impressive: his 4.34 GPA.
