Drew Gordon’s starting quarterback at La Salle College High School in 2013-14 was a young man named Kyle Shurmur. Gordon’s offense at the Philadelphia-area program was sophisticated in its large amount of protection schemes based on defensive coverages, and the Explorers’ head coach needed to teach the offensive line all of the scenarios clearly.
“And Kyle wrote a blocking assignment book for us,” Gordon, 67, said on the phone Friday night. “He sat with the linemen and showed them why we had to do this, and against this defense you have man on this protection, here you have zone. That was pretty advanced. And that’s probably something he got from his father.”
Who, Pat Shurmur? No. No way Kyle learned that diligence from his dad who, as a sophomore offensive lineman and linebacker at Dearborn Divine Child (Mich.) in 1980, asked coach Wes Wishart to borrow the program’s lone projector to host weekly 16mm film study sessions at his house.
