Jurgensen has impressed plenty of folks with his work on and off the field. And next fall, he’ll be heading to the University of Virginia.

Before college football, Jurgensen is trying to finish his high school career strong, which includes being ready for practice at six in the morning.

“They‘re tough sometimes, but it‘s good,” Jurgensen told News 6. “It gets us working in the morning and gets our day started off right...We don‘t get any heat, so it‘s nice and cool in the morning and no storms, so we get to practice and get all the work in we need to get in... We‘re out here every morning. It just really instills discipline in us so that on Friday nights we’re not making a lot of mistakes.”
