Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Devon Blackmon (ATH/2011, Summit High School, CA) can definitely do it all. Literally. The Fontana-Summit High School star contributed as a quarterback, running back, receiver, safety and kick returner last season for the Skyhawks. If that's not versatility, I'm not sure what is. Several schools are recruiting Blackmon as a quarterback (Oregon, Utah, Washington and Nevada).

Here's an excerpt from the interview with Blackmon...

CLA: What are your top 3 schools right now that you have offers from?

Devon Blackmon: I haven't even been worried about the recruiting process, but it would be Florida, Cal, Oregon.

When I spoke with him, he indicated that Oregon was one of the schools recruiting him as a QB. Check out the complete interview transcript on the link in the main post.

I am not doubting you at all regarding what he said. It is very surprising they are recruiting him as a QB though.

The reason I say this is because he is shorter than all the other QBs Kelly has offered. Also he was third QB on a team who could have really used a QB as the three combined for 100 yards a game on a 6-6 team that could have used some passing. He wasn't a Dillion Baxter as a running QB either. And lastly according to Rivals he is being recruited by Scott Frost.

But recruiting is often a strange and mysterious thing.

He says he wants to excel at track along with Football at the next level... Well, who among those 3 schools has the best track program....welcome to track town USA.

Florida has a pretty good track program as well. They don't have the name recognition on the track as Oregon, but they produce pretty good sprinters and jumpers.

If he wants to play Quarterback, and he wants to run track, there is literally no better place in the country for him than Oregon.

Blackmon runs the 110M Hurdles and didn't perform so well at the California CIF State Track Meet

Here's a link to a story from the meet:

except for maybe florida since there spread qb won a Heisman and a national championship and they jus won the ncaa t&f ship

2nd in track

If he wants to run track for a top program, then Florida or Oregon would be good choices.
