Another from East High School

Looks good. He may be 6-2 190 lb. by the time he's playing corner (safety?) for the Zips.

Excellent.  These are the player we need to keep home.

 

I don't remember a Zips' recruiting class start filling up so early.

Do you guys really think that looks like a D1 highlight video?

According to the article, he got his offer almost immediately after the coaches saw him at a camp.  So he is a player with 3 years of starting experience (about to be 4) and physical tools that our coaches love, I am very happy to have him joining UA.

I agree. I feel like this would be a wasted scholarship, but I hope I'm wrong.

Watching a kid at a camp trumps a highlight video.

Saw Callaway for the 2nd time last night.  I'll say he passes the eyeball test.  Legit 6-1 w/ long arms.  He doesn't pile up many statistics though because he doesn't play WR (East doesn't really throw the ball, anyway) and he plays corner.  If he played S he'd probably be in on more of the game.  But, to his credit, he simply covers whoever is out wide & sticks with them like glue.  He does all that he's asked to do at a high level.

 

I saw he did blow one coverage last night that went for a TD.  There was some sort of miscommunication between he and the S.  But that was a mental error; not like being physically overmatched.  Idk.  He's a good looking athlete (built like current Zip Kyron Brown) who does his (somewhat easy job) at cornerback.  That's about all I can say about Callaway.  We'll see how it translates to the next level against better WR's & QB's who can really throw the ball.

Callaway returned a late 4th-quarter blocked punt for a TD to beat Buchtel.  East has clinched at least a share of the City Series Championship and, according to the article, it was the first time East had beaten Buchtel in over 2 decades.

What a terrible thing for him to go through.
