MrBeast Tom Brady Throwing Contest Winner Reveals Plan for $100,000 Win

The Florida high school quarterback who defeated Tom Brady apparently has a solid head on his shoulders in a passing game to go along with a great throwing arm… because he tells TMZ Sports he has very modest plans for his $100,000 winnings.

If you haven’t seen it yet, Jake Balanovich scored the big payday as part of Mr. Beast‘s recent game video … in which the senior popped four balloons with a football just before Brady could.

Many expected the teen to do something extravagant with the prize… but he said in an interview with us this week that he “just plans to be smart with that money, and not spend it on something stupid.”

However, he did tell us that a pair of sneakers — and perhaps a few other wardrobe upgrades — were on the way.

Aside from the new money, the Cypress Bay High School senior — who had 14 touchdowns this season — told us that battling TB12 was a “very surreal” experience … and that it has led to some change for him in his hometown.

Balanovich said classmates paid more attention to him and even stopped him for photos.

It has also boosted Jake’s college recruitment, with his head coach, Bret Kapnoting that the young signal caller has been getting a few more stares lately.

But believe it or not, the whole experience makes him eager to take on another legendary quarterback… as he exclaimed Peyton Manning next.

“I look up to you [Peyton]“You’re a great quarterback, but you know, I’ve beaten one and I’m going to move on to the next one,” Balanovich said.

“I collect every top quarterback like a glove.”
