Build that fence!

_ Brady, you've covered high school football in this area for a while and have seen a lot of talent over the years. What does Landor do best? Does his skill set remind you of any college/NFL player? Some have questioned his ability to play QB in college due to his size.

He's got a fairly strong arm and very good mobility. I'd say he's in the mold of a Pat White. Two years ago, he didn't use his legs as much and his season numbers suffered for it. Last year, coach Sonny Charpentier basically gave him the green light and told him if the play wasn't developing to use his legs to escape. The result was 2,000 yards passing and 800 rushing and a trip to the semifinals.

His size is definitely something that's keeping him from being recruited by major FBS schools. But he's continually proven himself at the summer camps. He was among the top performers at the Elite 11 in Dallas and was the QB MVP of the Baton Rouge NUC.

He works hard and that's what coaches are going to really like about him. He's lowered his 40 time from 4.7 to 4.55 in the last year. And because of that, he's shot up to No. 1 QB in the state by scout.com.

I think he's got all the tools to be successful in college. Optimally, he'd like to add some muscle to his frame to increase his strength and durability. But overall, I think he's got a chance to be pretty good in college if he keeps working hard at improving his skillset.

A late growth spurt wouldn't hurt.

Did Doug Flutie ever hit a growth spurt? lol

Sounds like he needs to GOMAD (gallon of milk a day) for the summer and lift.

Zee, I've watched the kid since middle school and at Teurlings the last three years so I've seen him grow up in Sonny's offense. There were two questions concerning Landor according to college coaches, one he answered last season on the varsity level concerning his ability to get down the field. Of course having seen him start JV as a true freshman, he ran plenty that season. As Grady has stated, he ran a 4.55 at the NUC combine and 4.6 at UL recently. The other question is in regard to his weight at 170 right now. The concern is considering his body type, if can he add enough weight to play at the D1 level to his frame. All kids go through growth spurts, he could add some muscle to his frame. But I don't see him carrying more then 20 to 25 pounds more to that frame and when you look at him, he does not have broad shoulders. He will take two years to develop his body in college to play at 190 to 195. Keep in mind, he has been in a high school weight program for four summer now, and weighs 170 pounds.

Brady compared him to Pat White, that is a pretty good comparison although Landor throws that ball better then White did coming out of HS and just not as fast.

I see him as a kid that will need two years to hit the field in college, not because he lacks anything in arm strenght or speed, but his body will need time to develop in a college strenght and conditioning program.

We have a QB in our system right now that has a stronger arm, runs faster, and has more size than Landor that can't get onto the field.

_ We have a QB in our system right now that has a stronger arm, runs faster, and has more size than Landor that can't get onto the field. _

Right, so does that mean anyone with a weaker arm, slower legs, and less size than Blaine can't get on the field, because that would include Drew Brees.
