Cradle of Quarterbacks with Will Toprani | The James Protin Podcast

After a promising freshman season at Ringgold HS as a varsity starting quarterback and letterman, Will transferred to Central Catholic (Pittsburgh) to continue his athletic and academic career.

Will is the first player in WPIAL history to serve as a quarterback at the high schools that produced both Dan Marino and Joe Montana.

Will is an elite level talent who intends to play in college. As an honors student, he has drawn interest from the US Naval Academy and several Ivy League schools so far.

Following his midyear transfer to Central Catholic, Will earned a spot on the Vikings' Freshman baseball team, being selected captain and starting every game in centerfield, where he had a perfect fielding rating on the season. On the baseball side, he has played for the prestigious Pittsburgh Premiere travel baseball club in tournaments across the country, and for Charleroi American Legion, Ringgold Fall Varsity baseball, and several community teams.

He trains at 2/10ths Speed & Agility and competes at both QB Country and the Manning Passing Academy, receiving skill instruction from 2025 NFL first round picks Drake Maye and Bo Nix, and current college players, including WVU's Garrett Greene, and NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning.

In the offseason, he's the signal caller for Nike PA Elite 7v7 football where he led his team to the national championship tournament in Dallas, Texas, and attends college prospect camps. Regarded as a natural and skilled leader, Will's positive influence is apparent on the field, in the classroom and in the community, as he has assisted coaching youth baseball for several years.
