Indy-area 2026 preseason Super Team: Quarterbacks’ stats, numbers and quirks

Four standout signal callers share career numbers, jersey inspirations and game‑day rituals

The 2026 ALL‑USA Indy‑area preseason Super Team spotlights a quartet of quarterbacks whose 2025 performances have already turned heads across central Indiana.

Chase Davis of Martinsville finished 59 percent of his passes for 2,510 yards and 24 touchdowns, capping a 6‑7 season with a Class 4A sectional title.

Oscar Frye from Brownsburg, a back‑to‑back Class 6A state champion, completed 60.4 percent of his throws for 2,505 yards and 29 touchdowns while throwing only two interceptions.

Brandt Gray at Pendleton Heights posted a 65.1 percent completion rate for 1,474 yards and 15 touchdowns, adding 637 rushing yards and 11 scores on the ground.

Chase Grove of North Central helped snap a 32‑game winless streak, completing 64 percent of his passes for 1,901 yards and 19 touchdowns and contributing 147 rushing yards and three scores.

Darian Prather from Lawrence North, in his first season as starter, threw for 1,678 yards and 19 touchdowns while rushing for 740 yards and four scores, and Bryce Sebanc of Plainfield accumulated 1,780 passing yards and 20 touchdowns with 165 rushing yards and three touchdowns over two seasons.

Numbers that define the squad

Each quarterback has attached a personal meaning to his jersey number: Davis chose 12 to honor his father’s legacy and the classic QB tradition; Frye wears 18 to pay tribute to Peyton Manning and a Brownsburg great; Gray also dons 12 after a baseball dream of number 2 faded; Grove selected 9 for its lucky connection to his birthday; Sebanc opted for 1 simply because it is prominent in sport.

Humor and celebrations

Their humor on the sideline varies: Davis cites Blaine Littell as the funniest teammate, Frye points to the receivers and coaches for comic relief, Gray laughs at running back Dane Apple, Grove admires Stewie (Demetrius Averitte) for his quick wit, and Sebanc highlights tight end Devin D’Amato for his jokes and teasing.

Celebrations differ as well: Davis often dunks through the goalpost or performs a ‘Triple Jump’ inspired by Key & Peele, Frye opts for chest bumps and hugs, Gray executes a Michael Jackson‑style dance, Grove lets out a loud scream — sometimes earning penalties — Prather spikes the ball with a lecture, and Sebanc follows the sock, sock, shoe, shoe pattern.

Off‑field habits

Off the field, their post‑practice meals range from Davis’s Jimmy John’s Turkey Tom (no tomato, mustard, cheese) to Frye’s homemade Mexican dishes like Arroz con pollo, Gray’s Wendy’s or mashed potatoes, Grove’s Chipotle double chicken with brown rice, Prather’s chicken, macaroni, salad and water, and Sebanc’s honey chipotle chicken bowl.

Pet peeves also reveal their focus: Davis dislikes receivers who fail to set up RPOs, Frye values full effort in every activity, Gray is annoyed by open‑mouth chewing, Grove despises talking without backing it up, and Sebanc condemns cheating during conditioning.

Versatility and what‑ifs

When asked about alternative positions, Davis mentions receiver or safety based on his little‑league slot experience, Frye sees potential at receiver or safety thanks to his hands, Gray envisions receiver roles leveraging his height, Grove could play rush end or receiver from middle‑school days, Prather could return to receiver, and Sebanc would enjoy safety for the chance to hit defenders.

Together, the group blends statistical dominance, personal quirks and a shared camaraderie that defines the spirit of the Super Team.
