Excerpt from Jerrard Randall Story & Interview

As Chaminade Madonna Lions quarterback Jerrard Randall prepares for his trip to Maui tomorrow for the Steve Clarkson Super 7 retreat, their is an air of confidence in the young signal caller's voice. Randall (QB/2011) recently committed to the University of Oregon, which is a much shorter plane ride than the Clarkson camp in Hawaii. "It's a long trip (Maui)… I'm leaving tomorrow," Randall told CollegeLevelAthletes.com this afternoon.

Although Eugene, Oregon is on the opposite side of the country compared to Randall's hometown of Hollywood, Florida, he's not concerned with the distance and plans to visit the Ducks' campus in September. "I can sit on a plane and watch a movie," said Randall of the trip to the West coast.

Great article, thanks for sharing. It will be really interesting to read reports of how Randall does at this camp compared to the other participants, especially Hundley.

Ya thanks for the article.

Love this quote...NICE!
"Although Oregon has received verbal commitments from several quarterbacks in the class of 2011, Randall isn't afraid of what awaits him in Eugene. "That doesn't have an effect on me. I want competition. I'm going in with a lot of confidence. They're gonna give everybody a chance… "

Lets hope CK allows him to keep his commitment in September when he visits!

GO DUCKS!!

Thats an encouraging quote. Thats the kinda attitude you want from players.

Sounds like a winner, attitude wise... Plus he's got a little meat on his bones!

I hope he sticks with Oregon. Based on his offer list and highlight video, I prefer him to Manziel and Mariotta.

I wouldn't argue with that but I'm glad we have all of them! From what I've read, Manziel and Randall have such great attitudes and seem like winners, I look forward to hearing about their respective senor years.

GO DUCKS!!

Hundleys gonna be @ the camp too!

The camp is made up of the 7 guys who came out on top of a nationwide reality show (Think Survivor) style competition among HS QBs. Invitation Only...

This is like a "Best of the Best" competition, and Oregon is in the top or leading for 2 of them!

In addition to Hundley and Randall, participants include Cal commit Kyle Boehm of Archbishop Mitty HS, in San Jose, Ca; Jeff Lindquist of Mercer Island HS in Mercer Island, Washington; USC commit Max Wittek, of Mater Dei HS, Santa Ana, Ca; Bennie Coney of Plant City HS, Florida; and Jacoby Brissett of Dwyer High School in West Palm Beach, Florida.

That's a heckuva group.

I love this guy! The best fit of any QB Spread Kelly has recuited since he's been at Oregon

Not sure how I missed it the first couple times I watched this video, but I love the way Randall flattens the DB at the 25 second mark...

He's a stud, and looks like a taller Pat White. That said, Bennett is a stud also, the future looks bright at UO. I'm excited about all 3 of this years QB's, and I bet all 3 have solid careers at UO weather at QB or another position.

I'm excited about all the attention we're getting at the QB position. And we have, in my opinion, two really good QB's this year in DT and Costa. These new recruits look good on film and all, but I got to see Bennett play, when I heard he was considering the Ducks. This kid is as exciting a player as I've seen. He just seems to have this incredible desire to will his team to victory. I can't wait for 2012

I like Randall as well. Whose faster and more athletic of the three, Randall, Mariota, or Manziel? I've seen conflicting 40 times for all three.

I like Manziel because he's got great instincts and is an all around speed athlete. He could easily shift over to WR if needed.

I like Mariota because he's got length, height, and a cannon.

I like Randall because he combines the attributes of both the the above aforementioned. Athletic, long, and an arm.

Any of these three could be the next Pro Oregon turns out, or even two or all of them. However, who has the work ethic and intangible leadership and mental abilities to lead the team under pressure and learn how to have the game slow down for them to adjust to defenses and pick them apart....?

Just watched that You Tube HL of Randall... WOW! Much better footwork, body control, ball release point, quick release, nice touch and power on deep throws, and looks every bit as fast as Manziel, if not faster and more agile.

Besides all those attributes, his best talent:

VISION!!! The guy runs in traffic better than some running backs, quick decision-making and anticipation.

Most impressed with his ability to find the 2nd or 3rd receiving option, buy time and deliver the ball under pressure. Something that I didn't see in the Mariota or Manziel HL's.

#1 Randall...Hope we keep his commitment over the next year until signing day.
