ORLANDO, Fla. — Baylin Trujillo knows what to look for in a quarterback.

What You Need To Know

  • Baylin Trujillo trains over 300 quarterbacks in the Central Florida area

  • He has been training young passers since 2015

  • Among the skills he teaches in one-hour sessions are reading coverages, footwork and throwing mechanics

While Trujillo’s business, BTru QB Training, has grown to over 300 athletes, he only works with the best — such as Lake Mary’s Noah Grubbs (Notre Dame commit), Cocoa’s Brady Hart (Michigan) and Jones’ Dereon Coleman (Miami), who all are committed to Power 4 universities. 

It’s all about repetition and doing the little things right, according to Trujillo.

“There’s so much that goes into being an elite quarterback, and you have to do all that stuff in a sequence of three seconds," Trujillo explained." It’s beautiful. It’s fun to watch. When somebody throws a ball the right way, man, there’s nothing prettier, besides my wife."

Since 2015, the Oak Ridge graduate has been training quarterbacks throughout Central Florida, from Pop Warner to college. 

He jams a lot into one-hour sessions — from reading coverages, footwork, throwing mechanics and making each rep as game-like as possible. 

"I like to get about 200-225 footballs in a session," Trujillo said. "Consistent, too, we're not talking all over the place because I’ll make them do it over again if they don’t do it right.”

“It’s very important because coming up with somebody who’s already did it, done it, they know what the colleges are looking for," Coleman said. "Having somebody like him, he can speak for you. He knows when to say stuff, when not to say stuff. He just knows.”

But Trujillo began training after he found out he didn’t know everything.

That realization set in when he was a freshman quarterback at USF. 

“I just remember feeling so little when they threw me up on the board, in the first couple of weeks of me being there, and saying ‘Hey, draw this coverage versus this concept. What is the coverage, and how do you beat it?’ He was using terminology I never heard of before," Trujillo said. "It humbled me so quickly....I just knew, if I didn’t make it professionally, I would just give back to the kids and actually teach them the way.”

Trujillo's relationship with his athletes goes beyond the football field. He’s part of their lives, from helping them choose a college, talking to the coaches or even going on college visits with athletes. 

"My favorite part about the training is watching the kids develop, is just watching the whole process and how it all comes together at the end," Trujillo said. "Then we get to go on those visits, and that’s when the fun begins.”

Trujillo also conducts advanced quarterbacks camps, such as the one he's hosting on Sunday, Nov. 24, at Jones High School.
