Ocean Lakes is a very competitive school over in the beach district, with that said, I find it hard to believe he wont go to UVA or VT. They pry the athletes over in the beach district and also UNC is a close second.

He would be a huge, literally get. Nice size. U of O architecture department is one of the top public schools in the country. Marine Biology, is good too, but. No way you could spend the time as an architecture student and D-1 football. And Marine Biology, no way. That is over nighters in labs for architecture, and organic chem, plus biology and general chem and labs, plus physics and labs. Not possible together, plus D-1 football.

6'3/225/4.5. Funny that a guy this size considers himself a QB, but is actually a 4 star WR.... Oh, wait!
Where have I heard something like that before?

Actually I believe your right about him being recruited as a QB. Not sure what Oregon is pursuing him as, but doubt it's at QB considering we got Manziel and Mariota

Actually, I got that from his profile... Personally, I would love to have a guy like this, with good hands, who was excited to be a WR. Heck, we all would!
"Plays quarterback for his Ocean Lakes team, but is built like a linebacker."
Lafonte Thourogood finished his junior season with around 1,300 yards passing and 15 touchdowns and 900 yards rushing for another 13 touchdowns. He says he can bench 365-pounds, squat 455 and has a 35-inch vertical jump."

It would be nice to get someone from the state of Virginia, but it's highly unlikely that someone rated as highly as him would leave the East Coast.

Technically, they only take 2 quarters of Architecture studio per year, he could take his winter and spring quarter leaving the fall quarter open for other classes. I agree though, it would be very difficult. I had to give up Wrestling for the same reason because of the overlap in quarters of the sport.

Great size, he looks like a great athlete to add to our weak WR depth...does he like to block?
Its now up to DT and NC to show we are a passing threat to land some of these guys!
GO DUCKS!!

Ya UO architecture is fantastic, but it's a very difficult major to do as an athlete because it's so time consuming. I remember that Justin Roper had to change his major to Business because he couldn't balance football and architecture.
I'm kind of surprised that Stanford isn't in his top 5.

Man, does anyone know who #1 is on Ocean Lakes? I'd like to have him as a Duck receiver.

I am pretty sure it is Justin Hunter who signed on 1/10/2010 with Tennessee and we might see as a true Freshman this fall.
Kiffen signed three 4 star and one 5 star Wide Receiver to the Tennessee 2010 class. I don't know if any of them bolted after he left.
