From Cave Creek, Arizona, Brodie Moore is steadily rising through the quarterback ranks as a sophomore at Sandra Day O’Connor High School, Class of 2027. A student of the game since the age of five, Brodie’s passion for football has always centered around the toughness the sport demands—and the responsibility and leadership that comes with playing quarterback. For Brodie, football isn’t just a game—it’s the ultimate team challenge, and he thrives in the spotlight of leading his offense play after play.
“Playing quarterback is a unique opportunity to lead your offense on every play,” Brodie says. “I love keeping the defense guessing, and nothing beats a perfect pass for a touchdown.” His competitive nature and sharp football IQ are complemented by physical tools—arm strength, quick release, and touch on all levels of throws—that are the foundation of his game. He models his style after Justin Herbert, admiring the NFL star’s toughness, athleticism, and rocket arm.
Brodie’s development has been shaped by standout coaching and elite camp experiences. Training under Offensive Coordinator Justin Simons for several years, he’s learned the mindset that “the most important play is the next one.” Meanwhile, QB coach Mike Giovando has helped refine Brodie’s mechanics and mental approach to the game year after year. He credits these two mentors with elevating his game significantly.
He’s also tested himself at top-tier camps like the Elev8 QB Academy Winter Camp in Gilbert, AZ, and a QB Impact Camp in McKinney, Texas, where former Oregon Duck and NFL QB Chris Miller took notice. The camp’s “last man standing” throwing competition with wide receivers left a lasting impression on Brodie, giving him a taste of pressure situations where precision is everything.
This summer, Brodie is taking the next big step in his journey—he’s headed on the QB Magazine College TOUR in June, where he’ll showcase his skills in front of college coaches at Texas Tech, SMU, Kansas, Mizzou, and North Texas. It’s a major opportunity to compete, grow, and put his name on the radar of programs across the country.
Off the field, Brodie is focused on physical preparation and staying healthy. A minor hip flexor issue during track season taught him the value of disciplined recovery, alongside two of his football teammates. With guidance from physical therapy, the trio adjusted their training to balance the strain—ultimately returning stronger and logging wins in the 200 meters. His current routine includes lifting every other day, speed training twice a week, and weekly QB sessions to sharpen his technique.
One of Brodie’s most memorable moments came in a late-season game against Corona Del Sol. He ran for a 60-yard touchdown and threw touchdown passes to every receiver on the roster. “That game really summed up everything I love about football—execution, teamwork, and making sure everyone shines.”
Transferring to Sandra Day O’Connor brought its own challenges, but Brodie has embraced the transition with maturity. He acknowledges that moving schools is a part of the modern football journey, especially with how common it is in the college game. “My new coaches and teammates have been amazing,” he says. “It’s been a great life lesson in adapting and staying focused.”
Brodie’s pregame ritual is a nod to consistency and family—stretching and blasting “Burn It Up” by The Offspring, a tradition he and his dad started in fourth grade. “It’s a good luck charm,” he says, grinning.
With his eyes set on leading Sandra Day O’Connor to back-to-back 6A Arizona State Championships in 2025 and 2026, Brodie knows the road ahead demands even more discipline, growth, and sacrifice. His advice to younger players is simple but powerful: “Don’t let anyone talk you out of playing the position you love. Fight for what you want and dedicate yourself to your craft.”
Driven by love for the game, grateful for the people in his corner, and fueled by the thrill of competition, Brodie Moore is a quarterback to keep your eyes on. His journey is just getting started.
