Re: Brett Bafaro
I know he has been performing very well of late at camps, so he is a good one. Unless I am mixing up the prospects, I believe he was offered shortly after he camped at Oregon.
Going to miss the Maehl Man

It could be Leavitt you're thinking of, but it certainly could be him.TheMaehlMan wrote:I know he has been performing very well of late at camps, so he is a good one. Unless I am mixing up the prospects, I believe he was offered shortly after he camped at Oregon.

Brett Bafaro (Hillsboro, Ore./Liberty) is a name that has flown somewhat under the recruiting radar but colleges are well aware of the talented linebacker.
Bafaro first caught our attention at the Nike SPARQ Combine in Portland two years ago. The linebacker clocked a 4.66 40, jumped 33 inches in the vertical and threw the power ball 38 feet. His 96.18 SPARQ Rating was one of the best for any underclass linebacker in the country.
He then went out and had a very good junior season earning all-league honors at both linebacker and running back and is sitting on six scholarship offers at the moment.
"I have offers from Oregon, Boise State, Idaho, Portland State, Utah and Colorado," Bafaro said. "I camped with Oregon, Boise State and Oregon Stat,e and I'm also hearing a lot from Cal and Washington right now.
"I'm leaning to Oregon right now but I'm not ready to make a commitment to anyone just yet. Oregon is the local school and they're having a lot of success so it's kind of hard not to give them a hard look. I just want to wait things out a little more and see if any other schools offer. I would love to get an offer from Washington and Cal and they're both talking to me so we'll see what happens.'

Bafaro is a very good athlete with the physical playing strength to dominate on both sides of the ball; plays running back and linebacker with excellent results. That being said we feel his height and athleticism are best suited for the outside linebacker position at the major level of competition; His frame appears capable of handling the additional body mass needed at the next level of play. His strong wrap tackling ability should prove productive as a special teams coverage defender. This guy is a tough fullback type of runner; runs over his pads despite his height demonstrating quick feet at the second level; shows steady long speed but lacks a burst or second gear when in the open field. Has soft natural hands demonstrating the ability to make the difficult out of the frame catch. We like his tough, knock 'em down blocking ability. We see the flexibility, balance and agility necessary to play in space effectively; does very good job with key and diagnosis reaction skills when defending both the run and pass. This guy is a tough customer who the leverage and playing strength to take on and defeat blockers at the point; attacks aggressively downhill demonstrating the ability to take open gaps and move through traffic effectively from sideline to sideline. We see a disruptive force in the opponent's backfield. Is effective as a pass rusher using his strength to dominate but will need to develop alternate moves. His strength against the pass is in coverage where he shows the ability to crossover with good route awareness; looks up receivers on the move establishing a collision course. We see a prospect capable of making game changing plays. Bafaro may not be an immediate starter as he may need some time to grow physically however if as red shirt year is not deemed necessary situational playing time is a possibility
