2012 will be Brandon Cox's third year as the PHS starting quarterback.
(Pasadena)- One round ends and another begins. With the 2012 recruiting class inked, scouts are back on the trail creating wish lists and making offers. Including the University of Arizona.
“I was just calling to get some information about the program,” said Pasadena quarterback Brandon Cox. “And Coach (Robert) Anae informed me that I was the number one quarterback on their recruiting board and they would like to offer me a scholarship.”
The offer, which figures to be the first of many going forward for the talented passer, caught him by surprise.
“It was unbelievable,” he said. “I was in shock. I’m so thankful and happy.”
Former West Virginia and Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez was recently hired to run the Wildcats program. One of his former standouts at quarterback while at WV was a left-hander named Pat White who has a build similar to Cox.
“It felt unbelievably good to finally get one. It shows that some of my hard work has finally paid off and I feel grateful and somewhat relieved at the same time. Now it’s time to work even harder,” said Cox who always describes himself as a passer first. “I had baseball practice so I couldn’t talk for much longer but I want to just build a good relationship with the coaching staff,”
“Brandon is a great kid,” said Pasadena OC Michael McKay Tuesday night on “The Mid Valley Sports Show’. “You couldn’t be around anyone better.”
In 2011 Cox accounted for nearly 3,500 yards of total offense and 39 touchdowns in leading the Bulldogs to the second round of the Southeast Division playoffs.
