- if we're gonna take the glass - half-full approach... the - start of high school football - season... is exactly 100 days - away.

- college football won't be far - behind... and this week...- preparation for those two world- are on a crash course,- over at hancock high school...- where the corona-virus- pandemic isn't stopping one - former high school- standout... from passing it - on... to the next generation.

- - nat ---> "one, two, three, qbu!

- - - "i had the opportunity to learn under bo wallace.

I mean former- quarterback at- ole miss, and he had a big- impact on what i wanted to do a- far as developing these guys- out here.

There's a lot of- unnoticed talent that comes fro- the coast at the position - of the quarterback and i feel - like it's my job to sit there - and help those guys get ready - for whenever their time comes."

An under-recruited quarterback,- out of pearl- river central high school...- wyatt davis speaks from - experience... as the founder of- 6-0-1 elite quarterback and - skills academy.

- his eventual college football - career ended, at east - mississippi community college..- with a 20-17 national - championship.

- "for those guys, it's all about showing them the way.

I've been- there and done that,- and kind of passing on what the- can do better than what i did - and what decisions- that can lead up to and what- greatness they can accomplish - cause every one of- these kids, great people on the- field and off the field."

Of the more than 25 players tha- got work in monday and- tuesday... are some household - names from our news 25 friday - - - - night showcase.

- those being future division i - signee deuce lee ii, out of mos- - - - point... plus graduating senior- max favre, from st.

- stanislaus... and dustin- allison, from pass christian...- both- of which finished the regular - season top 5 in the state... in- - - - passing yards.- "once you start something you can't just lay down.

Like you - just have to keep - going and get better and better- at your position every day."

"it's pretty unique.

It's like showcase camp, except it's not.- everybody is just out here to d- the same thing and just work."

- - - even the underclassmen are- working just the same... given- the chance to soak up some q-b- life hacks, from the veteran- guys... with the added- benefit... of throwing to - division i- receivers like gulfport alum- jonathan nance... who made s-e-- stops at arkansas... and most - recently missouri.- "very, very, very important.

I need it a lot, just to get out- here and throw every day- to keep it just like anything - else."

"well, you get to throw with bigger and faster guys that you- might not get to throw with in- ninth grade and eighth grade an- stuff, so you get to adjust to- different speeds."

But the corona-virus pandemic - has everyone at 6-0-1 elite - moving- at the same speed mentally... t- make up for lost time... and- lost reps.- responding to adversity in- life... the same way they do...- in- the pocket.

- "oh yeah, this is going to show who was putting in work and who- wasn't during this- whole time.

Like when you get - back to the campus or when you- come back to the high - school level, you should be one- step ahead of everybody if you- were actually - - - - putting in work."

"you've got to be able to play this position tough, man.

I mea- that's why i tell these - guys, too, you can look pretty- throughout the drills and stuff- but when you get live - bullets thrown at you and guys- hit you in the mouth, that's- where it shows what you're- made of."

- 6-0-1 elite is in its third yea- of operation... and will- continue- every monday and tuesday, - throughout the summer... for- quarterbacks, age middle school-
