His stats aren't so hot, but 6'4" 185 is a solid build for a dual threat QB. (runs a 4.6)

Cool name.

Munchie? I really hope that is a nickname.

In 11 games during his junior season, Legaux passed for 1,784 yards with 20 touchdowns against eight interceptions. He also rushed for 435 yards and eight scores, and earned MVP in his district on the offensive side of the ball.

over 200 yards a game
and he had about 2.5 TDs a game
i don't know what impressive stats are in high school i guess but those are damn good numbers for some one to put up at any level of high school ball.

I'll take him. Sounds like a good athlete and if QB doesn'nt workout for him he has nice good hieght for WR maybe?

Benton "Munchie" Legaux

New Orleans Combine:

The top player at quarterback was clearly Munchie Legaux of Edna Karr. There were some questions about him coming into this combine about his ability to stick at quarterback on the college level, but he answered everyone of them.

Legaux made all the throws – from the three step drop to the seven step drop to the quick slant to the fly route. He showed touch, arm strength, nice footwork, and he threw a nice spiral. He is thin and will need to add weight to compete on the next level (Dennis Dixon/Darron Thomas, anyone?), but he showed on Sunday that his future position is going to be under center. He was outstanding all afternoon when he knew a lot of eyes were on him.

Love the name, but boy - oh boy, wouldn't the Beave's have a field-day with an "O" qb named Munchie?

I say "Bring It"

Here's a few other guys on rivals Oregon QB list:

http://oregon.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?pr_key=71671

A total of about 2000 yards isn't too impressive. I don't really know what kind of offense Legaux's in (run first, pass second?) or how good the competition is, so judging off stats isn't always good. But 3000-3500 yards of total offense with 40-45 total TDs is what I'd call good stats.

How can a QB named (nicknamed) Munchie NOT go to Oregon? That is just to good to be true. Every team would poke fun at the fact that Eugene has its pot smoking image, and many oregon fans would embrace it, just like many oregon fans embrace Eugene's 'uniqueness'

[UOducksTK1]

Also, Legaux's high completion rate and very low amount of yards per attempt imply that his offense was heavily involved in screen passes and a short passing game.

His highlights on rivals definitely show he can throw the ball deep, so that shouldn't be a big concern. However I'm just a bit surprised his stats aren't somewhat dampened especially in a spread offense.

[Boom]

well being a junior he could have been a first year starter. I would hope his stats go up his senior year.

According to Rivals, his sophomore season (Over 350 yards and five touchdowns, and earned 10-4A First Team All-District honors. ) consisted of 3 games, due to a broken ankle.

Munchie Legaux (QB)
Height: 6'4" Weight: 185
40 Time: 4.20
Lanky french fry style build but with pop-tart style quickness and Hot 'n' Ready speed. During his junior year he winged the ball down field for a super sized 1784 yards going 203 of 295, and gobbled up 435 yards rushing to put some icing on the cake for his hard earned MVP award in the district. Schools already are licking their chops to get a taste of what Munchie can cook up include Alabama, Florida, Kansas State, LSU, Michigan, Tulane, and West Virginia. Munchie could be the main ingredient in any recruiting class, as he provides a PB and J dual threat approach that will surely have the competition shaking like Jello. Sit back, make yourself a grilled charlie, and hope Rich Rod can concoct up some snake oil soup that will really give us the Munchie(s).
(Real fake 40 time of 4.6 according to Scout)

Legaux, a four-star dual-threat quarterback from New Orleans (Edna Carr), La., likes the Ducks, but he's still intrigued at the possibility of playing in the Southeastern Conference, and one member of that prestigious league has indicated in recent days that an offer could be forthcoming soon.

I agree. Seems like a perfect match on that alone.
