passing yards (5,269) with 56 touchdowns, becoming only the fourth
player in OHSAA history to throw for over 5,000 in a season. He
surpassed two pretty good Ohio high school quarterbacks -- Ben
Roethlisberger for TDs in a season and Joe Burrow for passing yards in a
season. Drew also managed 1,202 rushing yards with an additional 21
touchdowns. His 56 passing touchdowns tied for the 12th most in a single
season in OHSAA history. Big games included those vs. Monroe when he
accounted for nine TDs (five passing, four rushing), vs. Miami Trace
when passed for seven TDs and vs. Wilmington when he passed for five TDs
and ran for two more TDs. He holds numerous school records and. He led
last season's Broncos to an 11-3 record and a first-ever regional
runner-up finish. He has had numerous games in his career with 400 yards
or more of total offense. He is assaulting the Ohio record book again

28 TDs and 610 rushing yards with 12 TDs.

Year. Also, he was a finalist for Mr. Ohio Football. Additionally, Drew
was selected as a first-team quarterback in Tri-State Football's
preseason rankings.
Drew is a two-sport all-star who also plays basketball for the Broncos.
His junior year, he helped the Broncos win the SBAAC-American
championship and he was named SBAAC Co-Player of the Year. He averaged
16.7 points per game. His 61.8 % field goal percentage and 3.1 blocks
per game led the league, while he was third in the league in rebounds
(9.5 per game).
A good student who is active in community service, Drew, who has
numerous offers, is still weighing his options of where to play his
college football.

Ferrell, favorite book is Urban Meyer's Above the Line, favorite movie
