2021: Did not play in any games.

Coach Aaron Best on Verboort: “He’s a lengthy receiver from in-state. He’s long and we think he can play in multiple spots. He was coached in high school by Don Bartel, and Donnie is a dear friend I’ve known for about 20 years now. He raves about Max and from the get-go was a player we had our eyes on. We created a relationship to where this is the best spot for him after high school. He loves the family atmosphere and knows teammate Cameron Lynch who is already here. He has some inside resources to our program that he utilized through the process. Coach Pat McCann is extremely excited about the opportunity to add Max to a class of really good receivers. That’s what we do – we strive to recruit better every year. If we can continue to do that at every position we’ll be that much better when players end their journeys at Eastern. Max is another one of a long line of receivers with a great upside and a great future.”
