Quaasim Glover is a senior with the Woodbridge Football program who very quietly has set a new school record for receptions.  Glover has played in 4 varsity games as a freshmen, 11 as a sophomore, 10 as a junior and has 7 under his belt as a senior where he started the season as the number two player for receptions in a career. 

His freshmen year he saw action as a backup QB and registered a 16 COMP on 41 ATT for 390 YDS, with 3 INT, and 2 TD in 4 games played.  In Glover’s sophomore season, he was moved to wide receiver and quickly became a favorite target of junior QB Tracy Fudge. They connected for 50 REC, 709 YDS, and 3 TD.

Quaasim’s junior year was as impressive as the previous. He registered 46 REC, 723 YDS, and 8 TD from Fudge. His two year stats put him within 13 catches of tying Anthony Nyers’s career (2009-11) 109 REC, and 579 YDS shy of Keith Hemmings’s career (1996-97) 2011 YDS record. 

Here is a breakdown of the current season stats and records for Q.

(G1) Colonia – 5 REC, 70 YDS, 1 TD – 8 catches from 109, 509 yards shy of 2011.

(G2) Manasquan – 7 REC, 48 YDS, 0 TD – 1 catches from 109, 461 yards shy of 2011.

(G3) South Plainfield – 2 REC, 18 YDS, 0 TD – 1st catch tied Nyers, 2nd moved into the number one slot with 110 career REC, and 443 shy of 2011.

(G4) St Joseph – 3 REC, 33 YDS, 0 TD –113 career REC, and 410 shy of 2011.

(G5) Kennedy – 3 REC, 95 YDS, 1 TD – 116 career REC, and 315 shy of 2011.

(G6) Carteret – 5 REC, 34 YDS, 0 TD – 121 career REC, and 281 shy of 2011.

(G7) Perth Amboy – 5 REC, 66 YDS – 126 career REC, and 215 shy of 2011.

With Tracy Fudge graduating, sophomore QB Donovan Tabon, 66 COMP, 106 ATT, 924 YDS, 2 INT, and 10 TD, has taken over the passing duties. There has been a small learning curve between him and Glover, but overall, Tabon has delivered good balls to his receivers. He has a huge upside down the road.

At 6’ 1” with good leaping ability and great hands, Glover is a natural receiver.  His chase began in 2014, and the REC record fell in 2016. With at least three games left, I’m confident, Glover can surpass the 2011 YDS record of Keith Hemmings as well. I’d love to see him in alignments and routes that give him space to put on the YACs. Stay tuned!
