VENICE, FL (SNN-TV) – On top of the addition of South Plantation’s Jadyn Glasser, the Venice Indians have also landed junior QB Ryan Downes from IMG Academy.

In his sophomore season with the Ascenders, Downes appeared in 5 games throwing for 354 yards and 5 touchdowns. IMG’s Jayden Bradford garnered most of the starting duties, with Downes and two other QB’s vying for playing time in a back-up role.

Hailing from Long Island, New York, Downes moved to Bradenton and enrolled at IMG Academy in search of larger opportunities in football. The 6’4 junior has already made several visits to power-five, Division-1 schools.
