The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder was letting it fly against the Hurricanes. He connected on a deep ball for a score and also dropped a sweet 20-yard throw right in the bucket for a touchdown. According to sportswriter Randy Kennedy , Rivers was 9-for-9 and tallied 115 passing yards in the first half.

The Cardinals have a big-time season-opener on tap for Aug. 22 at home against Battle Ground Academy out of the Nashville metro. The game will air on ESPN. BGA, the preseason No. 6 team in Tennessee per the Rivals Composite Rankings, is quarterbacked by senior Bo Bryan , the son of country music superstar Luke Bryan.
St. Michael Catholic is the preseason No. 43 team in Alabama, though it’ll be in the mix for the private school state title — Alabama now splits up public and private schools when it comes to postseason competition. The Massey Ratings predicts a win for BGA next weekend, however.
All eyes will be on Rivers. As a junior last season, he threw for 3,176 yards and 46 touchdowns to just five interceptions. The Cardinals went 13-1, losing in the 4A state semifinals. Back in February, he followed in his father’s footsteps by committing to NC State .
Rivers is the No. 145 overall prospect and No. 12 QB in the 2027 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking , a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 6 senior in Alabama.
