40 td 1 int in sophmore season. Fast af for a qb....


AMONG THE NATION’S BEST

Quarterback Cameron Rising (Newbury Park, Calif.) will contend for top honors at his position nationally next cycle.

He has a very impressive evaluation card.

Size: 6-3, 200

Speed: 4.6-second 40-yard dash

Vertical: 6-4 high jumper

GPA: 3.5

Sophomore Stats: 191-of-319 completions for 3,213 yards with 40 touchdowns with only one interception and 79 carries for 756 yards with 11 touchdowns.


The four-star recruit is ranked as the nation’s No. 7 pro-style quarterback and the No. 11 prospect in the 2018 class in California by 247Sports.com.

“He’s that guy,” five-star cornerback Darnay Holmes said. “In my opinion he’s the No. 1 dual-threat in the country in 2018. Cameron is a great athlete and showed he has the throwing motion last season when he broke all of those records.”

Michigan, Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, Fresno State, Houston, Oregon State and Washington State have offered.

LSU offered this afternoon.

Rising said Michigan, Arizona, Arizona State and Washington State stick out early on.

He hopes to visit Michigan and Arizona this summer.

He said he hopes for offers from Alabama, Notre Dame, Miami and Florida.

An offer to watch out is one from the Hurricanes.

Rising grew up down the road from current Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya and likes that program’s tradition of California quarterbacks doing well for the Canes.

A trend that includes Kaaya, former National Title winning quarterback Ken Dorsey and Heisman Trophy winner Gino Torretta.

The Crystal Ball reads 50-percent for Miami and 50-percent for Washington State.

Rising is fortunate to have former Arizona quarterback Keith Smith as his offensive coordinator.

Smith starred for the Wildcats from 1995-99 as a four-year starter.

“Cameron has ice in his veins,” Smith said. “There’s no stage too big for him. Key situations in a game he’s so relaxed. He’s basically calming me down. To have that confidence in your ability at that young age it’s uncanny. When I played I didn’t get that until my junior year in college when the game slows down. It’s slowed down for him as a sophomore in high school.”

Look for offers to continue to pile up for the signal caller from ‘QB Heaven’ in southern California.

“Physically when it’s all said and done he will be 6-4, 215 to 220 pounds coming out of high school,” Smith said. “Athletically just a freak. Great genetics in his family. His dad played football at Cal Lutheran, older brother plays offensive tackle at Arizona State. He has big, strong hands to hang in the pocket and protect the football. He has the frame with the broad shoulders to put on good healthy weight to get to a comfortable 240 pounds. He has upside like no other. It’s at the point where I can give him the keys to the car already where he could call the game himself. Mentally he calls the protections every single play and understands blitzes. We ask him to do a lot and he doesn’t blink. It’s pretty remarkable. To have an offensive line coach like Joe Smigiel (former Arizona Wildcat) to help him understand protections has been priceless for his development. Cameron has a huge upside.”

**** those are some amazing stats. In High school Jared Goff threw like 44TD's to 4 INT in his Junior and Senior seasons at Marin Catholic, and now he's a top 10 lock as a QB. Not saying high school stats indicate success, but 40TD:1INT with 800 Rushing Yards and 11 TDs is insane.
But if his older brother goes to ASU, and he's from Cali, I'd say UCLA, USC, and ASU are the teams to beat.

Good Lord! Offer this kid immediately! As a matter of fact get UM to rent an apt for our coaches because they need to be living out there part time. Yeah, I know it's high school but did you guys see that arm? That release? That accuracy? That ball placement? That pocket presence and awareness? That field vision? That command of the offense? The ability to feel pressure and elude and make plays with his feet? His natural running ability, speed and elusiveness? This kid looks like a college superstar of the future! Sign him up! Let's go!

Hate to be that guy but I played in their area and their level of competition is very meh. They don't play any of the LA teams like Mater Dei, Serra or Servite nor do they play many of the local powers like Oaks Christian or Saint Bonaventure. unfortunately the teams north of LA don't produce much in terms of D1 talent besides the private schools. Will have to keep an eye out for him this year if they make a playoff run.

I know, I read it. But it's not like he grew up a Miami fan or something. If the biggest reason Miami got on the map for you is a friend (are him and Kaaya even friends or did they just grow up near each other?) decided to come here 2 years ago, then thats not exactly giving me too much optimism. Good that he understand QBs have a history of coming here from Cali and being succesful. But ultimately if he grew up in Southern California, The team to beat has to be UCLA. USC would be right there with UCLA, but apparently they already have a qb commited from LA, so they wont be getting 2. **** Cal might be a big player too since they don't have a guy yet, and they are putting the best qb in college into the draft. ASU is in it for the obvious reason that his brother goes there.

Don't get too excited about this guy coming here. All he basically said is he'd like an offer, and then he also listed 2 schools we ******* hate as places he also wants an offer from ND and UF. The most encouraging thing is that he doesn't seem to care about playing so far away from home.

Jared Goff came from a crappy league also (MCAL). Never really played anyone that good. Ultimately you have to judge how much is him being a great QB and how much is it the other players sucking. However, compared to the big leagues in SoCal it might not be very good, but compared to leagues in NorCal or other states it might be pretty much even.

I hate to say this but this kid would be a better fit for Auburn or Clemson. Throws well on the run, has wheels and speed. Either Miami would have to open up their game for him or see above.

I dont know how many times running lanes opened up for Kayya with no one open and he threw the ball away. I like him but his lack of mobility is gut wrenching sometimes. We need a guy who can run, if just for my own sanity.
 
The way the game is getting faster and faster ...the days of a pure pocket passer with zero mobility is soon to be a thing of the past esp in college. Richt had D.J Shockely who was a passer and runner and he worked with Charlie Ward so I think as time goes on you will see more and more of these Pocket passers with mobility offered by Miami.
