2010 Recruiting: QB Grant Hedrick commits to Broncos

Can we get that Red Team running back too?!?!

Awesome, look like a great catch.

Does anyone know what positions that Boise State is looking to stock up on for 2010? Wide receivers?

99.15 SPARQ score too.

Hedrick is a bit of a sleeper prospect with a live arm, good feet and nice overall athleticism. He possesses just marginal height and a slim build which is why he likely isn’t receiving much early attention if any during the spring and summer months, but he flashes some bright spots in his game. He is a deceptively quick athlete with terrific feet. Works from under center and out of the shotgun and gets set quickly. He is a poised and calm in his methods, yet shows some fire to his personality and is very competitive. He is very good ball handler on drops, play-pass and bootlegs. Carries the ball comfortably at chest level, protects ball with his off hand when being rush and has been well coached on footwork and ball handling fundamentals. Release and arm strength are both good. Ball pops off his hand with very good zip to short and intermediate areas and he displays enough arm strength to stretch the ball vertically when on time. Gets nice RPM’s on the ball and throws the ball with good pocket presence, timing and confidence. Hedrick as mentioned lacks great size and while he works from under center part of the time here, he would benefit from being in the shotgun at the next level to enhance his vision of the field. Needs to bulk up for durability reasons. While Hedrick shows flashes, he can also be risky because of his confidence. Tends to move around when he does not need to and can scramble himself into trouble. Can look very sharp as a passer in terms of accuracy, but will also spray the ball around a bit too. Overall, Hedrick has nice tools and redeeming qualities, but is a guy that is flying under the radar and as a result may find most of his interest coming from the FCS level and he would be a good fit there.

-Good Call. That back looked impressive… even if it only showed his best runs of the game. I’ll tell Buster to talk to Coach Pete about that.
