Rockets Looking at Arizona Linebacker?

Collin Stoffel is a 6-0 and 218 pound linebacker from Surprise, AZ. He is a bright student with a 4.0 GPA at Willow Canyon High School, but it is college coaches that are impressed with his ability on the football field that is the real story. Does the Toledo coaching staff fall in that category?

Collin Stoffel is a 6-0 and 218 pound linebacker from Surprise, AZ. He is a bright student with a 4.0 GPA at Willow Canyon High School, but it is college coaches that are impressed with his ability on the football field that is the real story.

Collin has had initial interest from schools such as Boston College, Harvard, Marshall, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Toledo.

A junior season with 90 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries has led to the initial interest from the above schools.

Stoffel, who runs a 4.79 forty yard dash, projects as an inside linebacker in college.

His high school coach, Michael Hudnutt, recently took the time to talk to Rocket Digest about Collin. "Collin is a team player that always gives his all," said Coach Hudnutt. He added, "In the classroom he is an outstanding student that carries a 4.0 GPA."

Coach Hudnutt believes that Collin's best assets on the football field are his great motor and ability to make the tackle. Two things that the Rockets would love to see on defense.

So far Collin has received a prospect letter from Toledo coaches, which is the initial stage of the recruiting process.

Stayed tuned to Rocket Digest over the coming months to see if the recruiting interest continues from the Rocket football staff.
