Any D-1 Offers for Logan's Patrick Angle?

[know all]

very good kid,very coachablewould be a great safety at the next level always seem to read the ball very well,also dont forget about his baseball

[zbd]

I've said this before , but I'll repeat it -- Saw him last year vs Dublin Jerome in the playoffs. This year saw the Lancaster game, Pick North & their first playoff game. In talking with Locos last year, I didn't think he would draw much D-I attention as a QB. But a S , yes and possibly at a OLB. However, he improved his skills from last year to this, putting him on the list for possible recruitment as a QB. Because he made a late move in improvement, he MAY be on someone's list as a fall back if they lose another QB who backs out on them. He has to be on everyones list as a S. However, recruiting is a numbers game. Teams only recruit what they NEED NOW, so many teams may pass on him, even at S. Ditto at QB because the competition at that position is the most intense when you add in JUCOS or transfers that could be coming to someone's program. Most only recruit one or two QBs WHEN NEEDED and some years NONE are needed . There wouldn't be any doubt about D-IIs who will come after him, but it will be a shame if he gets passed over in D-I. Good athlete. I remember his Dad from coaching at Logan and his Dad was a bigger player ( TE,DE) and played at similar positions at Marshall. Angle is good enough to play at D-I but he isn't a Top prospect as a QB -- the talent is pretty good this year in Ohio and a limited number will get schollies. He could opt to go Juco and try to hook up D-I after two years of play at that level. Chances are good he makes the jump from Juco to D-I, but its a route that other QBs try to take, so there will be competition.

Great post, and breaks Pat down pretty well IMO.

I think Pat could make an outstanding linebacker as well, assuming he could put another 10-20 pounds on without losing speed, something I think he can do.

I DO believe he wants to be a quarterback at the next level, which may hinder his recruitment. I still think someone will come in late and make an offer.

Yes I great post I herd this weekend that a school was going to offer him.

Just my opinion, but Mount Union seems like a natuarl fit.

Angle is way better than D-III. Even a D-II school would be getting an absolute steal. Most D-IIs recruit AFTER NLOID and the D-I kids have signed. BTW, I watched the Mt Union playoff game Sat. vs Albright. Mount's QB this year is Kurt Rocco, a 6'6 player from Cincinnati parochial LaSalle and Mt. destroyed Albright 55-3.. Angle is way better than him and he is pretty good. Another comparasion would be Logan's Conrad who played in the early 2000's and went to D-II Glenville St, where he started for years and broke NCAA passing records. Angle is better than he was. Angle is a D-I player, but recruiting is a funny game. He'll play somewhere.

One thing he is a tough kid. He took some shots from Ironton this year and kept getting up and also played one hell of a defensive game!

they also have neal seaman from louisville is his backup. as nice as it would be to see him in purple & white on saturdays, i don't see them looking at pat either.

i think a mac school would be a good fit small d-1.

[fbfever9]

i think a mac school would be a good fit small d-1.

EX. Nate Davis (Bellaire) - Ball St.

JMHO But Angle is a much better passer than Davis was at the same stage of "career

[Speedofsand]

It could help if he had a short highlight tape of this season. Lots of good schools getting change of coaches right now. Marshall, Louisville come to mind.
How good is Angle at hoops and baseball ? Would he get scholly offers ?

He could be better passer but nate was a better overall player.

[claypantherfan]

Nate Davis was a good QB all the way around so no offense to Angle but I doubt he is better then Davis

He was the SEOAL player of the year in basketball last year. He is an excellent baseball player too, but I have only seen him on the diamond once, so I can't tell you HOW good.

He is will be a 4-year letterman (and starter) in both basketball and baseball, not easy to do at a D1 school.

I think it is funny that we talk about Mt. Union and say they are "JUST" DIII. Mt. Union plays DIII football, but most of their players are at a MUCH higher level.

I would love to see Angle play at Mt. Union...... Think about it, in a 4 year career there if you win just 1 national championship, it would be a bit of a disapointment. They literaly win this title or at least compete for it every year!

[hbk2016]

If he is a D1 caliber kid, the D1 scouts will find him.

good point. watched the replay of them last night... and there going again. i think they said they have been in 14 of the last 16 stag bowls. nothing to sneeze at and something for any high school athelete to think about.

A little info on Mt. Union -- many area players end up there and find that the Frosh always have a huge incoming class....... 70+ isn't unusual. The competition is usually great. Many a H.S. star fades at Mt. because of the competition. The "Varsity" at Mt can be 80-90 some years , but the JVs also number 80-90. LOL !! You would be amazed at the H.S. stars coming from very good programs who ened up NOT being able to play there because there are so many better guys ahead of them.

This year there are 99 on the Varsity roster and 91 on the "Frosh" roster and their schools are a Who's Who in H.S. FB.

[Speedofsand]

Others nominated for and receiving votes for the Mr. Football award included West Chester Lakota West linebacker Jordan Hicks, Steubenville quarterback Dwight Macon, Columbus DeSales defensive lineman Travis Jackson, Cleveland St. Ignatius quarterback Mark Myers, Logan quarterback Patrick Angle and Ada quarterback Heath Jackson.

How is it possible Angle is not offered a big time scholly ?

Size, Speed and the Ability to read defences

[ChieftainGrad135]

I think all 3 of those things you mentioned is what SHOULD get him some looks.

Take a look at these 5 QB's for "major" schools and their height, weight, and speed AT TIME OF RECRUITMENT from high school or JUCO.

Scott Tolzien
Wisconsin
6'2"
174
40 time Not Available

Joey Elliot
Purdue
6'2"
190
4.63

Zac Lee
Nebraska
6'2"
200
4.6

Kirk Cousins
Michigan State
6'3"
171
4.83

Todd Reesing
Kansas
5'11"
180
4.7

I believe that Patrick is comparable to size, speed, and 40 time to all 5 of these guys. I believe Pat is posted as 6'1", 205, and 4.6. If you are saying that he lacks that much in reading defenses, then I don't think he would have been as successful as what he was in high school. All 5 of the quarterbacks I listed were 2-3 star QB's. Pat HAS to be as good as these guys.

On the other hand, Pat definately has the size, speed, and ability to play Safety at the next level (D1 big school).

I think where the ball gets dropped is the coaching staff getting their athletes names out there. Tell me this.....how does Portsmouth, Chillicothe, and other schools in our league get athletes to D1 schools and we don't. It is because we lack recruiting coordination. It was a downfall with the 2000 team. We had D1 talent then, but the coaching staff expected the D1 schools to come calling on the athletes. The coaching staff should be working with the "legit" college prospect athletes during their junior year on getting their name out there.
