North Torrance quarterback Jorge Hernandez<\/p><\/div>\n

When the switch was flipped and the Montview and Olympic League\u2019s were rolled into the Northwest Division the top quarterback was going to Maranatha\u2019s Andrew Elffers. If not Elffers it was going to be Jacob Kalama of Torrance. Perhaps Ivan Vasquez at La Puente or Ryan Esslinger out of Whittier Christian.<\/p>\n

Nobody had in mind the Saxon\u2019s Jorge Hernandez. North Torrance hadn\u2019t won a playoff game in years and in 2011 they were only 2-8. Why would anyone suspect this guy would be the division\u2019s player of the year…but he is.<\/p>\n

When you throw 57 touchdown passes and 4,000 yards it has a tendency to vault you to elite status. Hernandez not only executed but led his team the CIF Finals. With his rocket arm and excellent touch he made receivers Mikey Jurado and Devante Jenkins contenders for this same award. He also rushed for close to 500 yards.<\/p>\n

Highlights can be found of him all over the web, but he\u2019s probably best described as being El Monte\u2019s Brandon Martinez with a stronger arm. The EM quarterback has faster feet. Congrats to him<\/p>\n
