PENN’S DRISCOLL NAMED FINALIST FOR 2025 MAXWELL CLUB’S ‘GIRLS FLAG PLAYER OF THE YEAR’
Indianapolis – Quinn Driscoll of Penn High School has been nominated by the Indianapolis Colts for the Maxwell Football Club’s (MFC) Girls National Flag Football Player of the Year award, the Colts announced today.
The Maxwell Football Club, based in Philadelphia, recognizes excellence in football at the high school, collegiate and professional levels and is home to several of football’s most prestigious awards including the Maxwell, Chuck Bednarik and Bert Bell awards.
The club created the Girls National Flag Football Player of the Year, now in its second year, to recognize the top high school student-athletes in the fast-growing sport.
Working in partnership with NFL clubs who submitted nominations in the fall, MFC’s selection staff, which is comprised of leaders in girls flag football and women’s athletics across America, evaluated players based on on-field performance, academic achievement and community service. The award will be presented on Mar. 13 at the 89th Maxwell Awards in Atlanta.
“Quinn is a phenomenal person who is a true leader on and off the field,” said Penn head coach Jeremiah Maggart. Her stats this season are truly remarkable but the impact and leadership she had on our state championship team are what sets her apart. She never missed practice or any opportunity to help herself and her team improve, while still finding time to volunteer to help others.”
A three-sport athlete, Quinn was a standout quarterback during Penn’s first-ever girls flag season in 2025. She led her team to an undefeated season and Indiana’s first ever girls flag state championship, completing 160-of-214 passes for a total of 2,010 yards, 41 touchdowns and two interceptions on the season. She also tallied 72 rushing attempts for 576 yards and eight touchdowns.
Off the field, Quinn is a school leader and active community volunteer. As a member of the Penn Key Club, she participates in many projects in the school and greater community. She also is a member of Healthy Hands Healthy Hearts, a volunteering club that makes cards to go to local homeless shelters, community centers and organizations for people going through tough times.
What’s more, she was selected by her coaches to serve on Student Athletic Leadership Committee. She is active in the Penn student council and the school’s “Wellness Wave,” a club that raises awareness about mental health and shares coping skills with students.
“Football instills important life skills beyond the sport itself, so we’re proud to recognize Quinn Driscoll, who exemplifies these values as a student-athlete and a school and community leader,” said Mike Prior, Colts Football Development Commissioner.
