On May 9, we delved into the background and notable moments of Davi Belfort, the quarterback signee for Virginia Tech. Now, let’s observe a selection of his matches.
During Belfort’s junior season at Gulliver Prep, the team maintained a .500 record despite facing formidable opponents. In the five defeats, Gulliver managed only an average of 5.6 points per game, with Belfort receiving limited support.
One notable match was against Cardinal Gibbons High, where Belfort completed only 33 percent of his passes and frequently found himself scrambling under pressure. Gulliver heavily relied on screen plays to alleviate the defensive onslaught.
While this strategy seemed promising in theory, it often placed Belfort in challenging situations, forcing him to attempt screen passes over leaping defenders.
