You Tubesday: The Next Vince Young

It is always hard to compare high school athletes to those in the NFL and even in college, but it is fun to speculate who they might emulate the most. Thanks to my good friend Mike Rizzo, he found this little highlight video of a player being touted as the next Vince Young. The awards are already piling up for this young superstar. Terrelle Pryor has offers from over 30 schools already. Most of them are looking at him at both football and basketball.

He has the makeup of a great dual threat quarterback with his 6 foot 6 inch and 210 pound frame. In his junior season for Jeannette High School in Pennsylvania he completed 92 of 163 passes for 1,732 yards and rushed for 1,676 yards on 197 attempts. He threw for 15 touchdowns, ran for 13, and caught 1 touchdown. Rivals.com tabbed him as the junior of the year. Let me tell you that this guy is worth every bit of hype he is getting. I have personally seen him play twice, once on field level and watched him numerous other times on television. So check him out in the video below.

    Dude is sick.

    That roll to the right, throw back over the middle play was incredible.

    Yes! As a native of Jeannette, Pa and an alumnus of Jeannette H.S., it
    is awesome to see him in action. A first ever trip to the State Championship game.
