Rockets Looking at California QB

Alex Pettee was the top rated quarterback in his conference and First-Team consensus All Western State Conference and Offensive Player of the year in 2007. Pettee was a freshman at Pierce College in Los Angelos, CA and is being recruited by several Division I schools. He will have three years of eligibility left for the school that wins his services.

Alex Pettee was a First-Team consensus All Western State Conference quarterback and Offensive Player of the Year as a freshman at Pierce College in Los Angelos, CA in 2007. He threw for 2,176 yards and rushed for 470 yards, earning his team MVP award. He was also a First-Team Academic All-American.

At 6-3 and 205 pounds he has decent size for a QB, and his 4.8 speed is good enough to allow him to scramble when the pocket breaks down and gain some yards for his team.

"Alex has all the ability in the world," said Pierce College Head Coach Efrain Martinez. "He came into our program and we had the best season in the past 16 years and Alex played a huge role in that turnaround," Coach Martinez added.

Alex is being recruited by San Diego State, toledo, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Montana State, Washington State, UCLA, and Stoney Brook. He does not have any offers on the table yet, but his coach believes they will come when he makes his visits over the next several weeks.

Pettee has not visited the University of Toledo yet, but is hoping to set a date soon. "His top three choices are Toledo, Florida Atlantic, and Montana State," said Coach Martinez.

Both Doug Downing and John Shannon are recruiting Alex Pettee for Toledo. Coach Downing is the running back coach and recruiting coordinator for Toledo. Coach Shannon is the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator for the Rockets.

Alex is hoping to commit to a school by the first or second week of January.
