Elite Notre Dame QB commit to miss marquee matchup due to injury
Vero Beach quarterback and Notre Dame commit Wonderful “Champ” Monds IV is not expected to play Friday night against St. Frances Academy.
Notre Dame-bound quarterback Champ Monds IV of Vero Beach is expected to miss Friday night's high-profile matchup against St. Frances Academy at the Citrus Bowl, according to Florida recruiting reporter Jon Santucci. The four-star recruit was present during pregame but did not participate in warmups, donning a sling on his left arm as he stood behind his teammates with a Gatorade towel.
Sophomore Makai White, brother of Florida State defensive back Efrem White, may see his first varsity action in Monds' absence. The contest features unbeaten Vero Beach facing the No. 3 nationally ranked St. Frances Academy, who won their recent game 49-35 against DeLand. Monds had been excelling in his senior season, throwing for 591 yards and seven touchdowns on 40 attempts without an interception, along with 70 rushing yards and four touchdowns.
