Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio

From Charles Powers:

Hey guys, we're aware of the talk that Luke Del Rio has committed to walk on at Alabama. It's our understanding that he's having an official announcement at some point tomorrow. We are waiting for him to announce his decision, but we expect it to be Alabama. As he said in our update yesterday, his sister goes to school at UA and he will be a preferred walk-on.

And yes his father is Jack Del Rio

Wow, 29th ranked QB and he's going to walk on at UA with offers from Oklahoma St and Oregon St. CNS must be doing something right...:wink:

Nice pickup. Tells you something about the state of our program when a high profile kid like this will pass up multiple scholly offers to come here.

He must sit 2 years or would retroactively count against the 25/85 limits. In year 1 and 2 he will count against the 105 practice limits and then have 3 years to play 3.

It works out well for both sides here since there was next to no chance he would see the field as a true freshman with AJ/Sims/Ely returning or redshirt freshman against Sims/Ely/Morris.

I thought he was a senior in HS. He's in this year's Elite 11. Where do you think he played in college? LINK

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio

I think someone said this is about him being around CNS for future coaching purposes. Since his family is financially secure it makes perfect sense.

Besides without even knowing anything about his skills and knowing he had offers from other legit schools, he'll be a great option (in case of injuries in the future).

I think the recruiting services have him around 27-29. However, the Elite 11 is a nationwide competition. I'll take that to mean that he's a legit top 11 in the country over any recruiting guru. He said that he was coming to earn a scholarship...
