Pine-Richland QB Aaron Strader Jr. Receives 1st Power Four Offer

Pine-Richland junior Aaron Strader Jr. is one of the most talented quarterbacks in the WPIAL.

Strader (5’11”, 170-pounds) led Pine-Richland to the 2024 WPIAL 5A Championship and was named a 1st team all-conference player after throwing for over 1,800 yards, 20 passing touchdowns, 385 rushing yards and 4 rushing touchdowns.

Thursday was a huge day for Strader, and it could really jump start his recruitment as he received his 1st Power Four offer.

After traveling to Syracuse to participate in a prospects camp, Strader received an offer from head coach Fran Brown.
