My eldest grandson is a senior QB in the San Diego area, and is currently ranked 2nd by MaxPreps for the CIF San Diego Section in passing stat leaders after 9 games into the season. Braxton Burmeister, a spring commitment to the Rats leads the rankings in that area. Grandson has already set a school record with 31 TD passes, and is on track to possibly eclipse the 3,000 yards mark in passing yards with at least 2 more games to play. When he was 10 years old I introduced him to Coach Dennis Erickson at Don and Charlie's one Friday night, and Dennis introduced him to Rudy Carpenter, then jokingly offered him a scholarship, which I told him that I would hold him to if he lasted the additional 6 or 7 years...But this post is not about the Devils and my grandson, since our team is stacked at that position now, with Ryan Kelley a longtime 4-star commitment filling the quota at that position for this year's recruiting class. It is about my grandson's favorite target, 2018 recruiting class wideout Malachi Russell...He is by far and away the San Diego Section leader in his numbers at that position, with 66 catches in 9 games for 1.320 yards and 18 TD receptions. He ranks second in the entire state of California with those numbers at that position. He is somewhat undersized, at 5'11," and 160 lbs., but possesses both outstanding speed and great hands, with another season to grow before graduation...He is currently nowhere to be found on this site, but seems to be garnering more and more attention as the season wears on...Just a few words here
