How a four-star recruit became a Tiger
At 6 feet 4 inches and 205 pounds, with a rocket arm and laser-like accuracy between the numbers, freshman quarterback Chad Kanoff looks the part of a prototypical pocket passer. In fact, his scouting report is eerily similar to that of current Indianapolis Colts starter Andrew Luck, who was a highly anticipated quarterback prospect when he entered Stanford in 2008 and was drafted first overall during the 2012 NFL draft after a stellar college career. Like Luck, Kanoff is an “excellent athlete for the position” and has “consistent mechanics and production” with “good size and the frame to really bulk up to become a real presence,” according to ESPN.com. The similarities between the two quarterbacks coming out of high school are undeniable.
