Xavier Su’a-Filo (Timpview (UT) High School) OL
Mainland Team:
Name: Chris Watt
Position: OL
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 280
High School: Glenbard West
City, State: Glen Ellyn, IL
College: Committed to Notre Dame
Profile: Watt is a competitor in every sense of the word. He explodes out of his stance, stays low, and keeps driving his legs until the play’s over. He is very athletic and displays the kind of footwork that few prospects can match. As a junior in 2007, Watt was named an All-Conference and All-Area performer.
Selection Committee Quote: “This guy finishes his blocks on almost every single play, he’s a powerful blocker who dominates the point of attack and his offense ran behind him 90% of the time last season.”
Name: Bryn Renner
Position: QB
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 190
High School: West Springfield
City, State: Springfield, VA
College: Committed to University of North Carolina
Profile: As a junior, Renner completed 214 of 339 passes for 2,749 yards and 32 touchdowns with only seven interceptions. He also rushed for 10 touchdowns. Overall he accounted for 42 touchdowns, 74 percent of his teams’ offense. He was named first team all-district, named the Patriot District Offensive Player of the year and was named All-Northern Region.
Selection Committee Quote: “He shows the arm strength, decision making, poise, and accuracy to make it big at the Division I level. A competitor and leader, he can make plays with his arm and feet. A very accurate passer who can thread the needle and does it often.”
Name: Randall Carroll
Position: WR
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 175
High School: Cathedral
City, State: Los Angeles, CA
College: Committed to USC
Profile: Carroll’s world-class speed is what separates him from other wide receivers in the class of 2009. He won the California State 100 meter dash title as a junior. He has the ability to be a deep threat, but excels as a possession receiver, and is a bona-fide playmaker with the ball in his hands. He also explodes off the ball and is an exceptional route-runner.
Selection Committee Quote: “One thing that sets him apart from the rest of the elite California prospects is his practice habits. He takes every rep at full speed, and if he doesn’t perform up to his own standards then he will go back to the front of the line and take that rep again.”
