Rajer Vaswani — Quarterback, Class of 2031 — Johns Creek High School (Feeder Program), Roswell, Georgia
Rajer Vaswani was born in Tampa, which means that growing up in Georgia he has spent most of his life rooting for the wrong teams in the wrong state.
“I got into football watching the Bucs and Gators with my dad,” the Class of 2031 quarterback said. “Living in Georgia, that’s not always a popular move. But that’s where it started for me.”
It did not stay there. What began as watching turned into something closer to coursework.
“I’ve really grown from just watching football to more of a love studying the game,” he said, “especially QB mechanics, defensive schemes, and watching my favorite quarterbacks to see what I can add to my own game.”
Ask most eighth graders what they enjoy about playing quarterback and the answer involves throwing. Vaswani’s answer is about the thirty seconds before anyone moves.
“I love combing through tape and seeing where there is opportunity to make a play that may not be the most obvious,” he said. “The cerebral part of QB is what I enjoy most — reading the defense, making adjustments, and figuring out how to put our team in the best position to make a play.”
Then comes the part he mentions almost in passing, which is actually the most telling detail in his entire questionnaire.
“I enjoy working with my coaches — and appreciate the autonomy they give me to make changes based on what I’m seeing.”
Autonomy. At the youth level, a quarterback is usually handed a play and asked to run it. Vaswani has coaches who let him change it, which means somebody watched him work and decided his eyes were worth trusting. That is not a gift a staff hands out casually.
He has built the support structure to match. Mike Sullivan, his coach at Johns Creek the last two years, is the one he talks ball with — play calls, what works, what does not. Jerel Worthy coaches him on the Metro 7 7v7 circuit and pushes the long-term exposure side. Joe Pillert is his quarterbacks coach and, in Vaswani’s words, the sounding board for everything in between.
Three coaches, three jobs, none of them redundant. He knows exactly what each one is for.
The quarterbacks he studies are Tom Brady and Baker Mayfield — the Tampa connection again — and what he takes from them is not style, since they barely share one.
“Brady wasn’t the most athletic guy, but he always found a way to make the play and win,” Vaswani said. “Baker brings a lot of passion and is really good at improvising and finding a way to make something happen. That ability to find a way to win, no matter what, is something really cool and admirable about both of them.”
The results are already stacking up. In his seventh-grade season under Coach Sullivan, he threw for more than a thousand yards. On the 7v7 circuit he has played C1N, Pylon, The Sevens and Shock Doctor against national competition, and this year he was on the Georgia Five Star team that won the national 7v7 tournament in Naples. He has taken MVP honors at a QBDoctor camp, and in NFL Flag he won local and regional tournaments to qualify for nationals in Canton. He trains year-round, with stops at Elite 11 Academy, You Are Athlete, FBU and college 7v7 camps.
Away from football he is a National Junior Honor Society member at Mount Pisgah Christian and a recipient of the school’s Citizenship Award.
Given all that, his answer about the hardest thing he has faced is almost funny in its modesty.
“Balancing football with school and everything else going on,” he said. “There’s always something I can improve on, so learning how to manage my time and stay consistent with my training has been important.”
No injury, no bad season, no crisis. Just a kid with a full schedule who decided the real challenge was making sure none of it slipped.
His goals read the same way — sequential, unhurried, and specific. Keep developing the mechanics, get stronger, work his way into JV and then varsity. Keep going to quarterback camps and start getting to college camps. Then, eventually, the chance to play in college.
“I’m still pretty early in my football journey, so I know I have a lot to work on,” he said.
He is thirteen, he has a national 7v7 title, and he is telling you about his to-do list. That is the whole scouting report.
For the Vaswani family
Rajer is unusually organized about his own development. He knows which coach handles what, he can name the specific parts of his game he wants to improve, and he has already been to enough national events to know how he stacks up. What he does not have yet is a single place where all of that lives in one piece.
That is the practical thing an upgraded Quarterback Magazine membership provides.
The upgrade puts custom QB Magazine graphics in his hands — designed pieces built around his name, his number, and his program, ready to go out after a tournament instead of a phone photo. For a player whose résumé is already scattered across four or five circuits and camps, graphics do something simple and useful: they make the accomplishments look like they belong to one athlete, told the same way every time.
It also changes who sees them. When Quarterback Magazine shares an athlete’s feature and graphics across its platforms, the audience is not the one Rajer already has. His followers are teammates, classmates, and the 7v7 world around Atlanta. Ours is trainers, camp directors, and coaches at programs that have never seen a Metro 7 game — the people who will be making decisions about him later.
The effect compounds. One graphic is a good weekend. A published feature, graphics through a season, and a profile that keeps growing become a body of work — so that by the time he is going to college camps, as he plans to, the name has been circulating for years rather than showing up cold on a roster sheet. Class of 2031 is a long runway, and runway only helps the players who start using it early.
And it lasts. Tournaments end, tape gets buried, stat lines disappear into old group chats. What gets published stays published. Years from now, the record of a thirteen-year-old who fell for the film study before the highlights — and whose coaches trusted him enough to let him change the play — will still be there, in his own words, with all three of his coaches named in it.
