USC coach joins Eugene Monroe Fan Club
Posted on 08/27 at 12:37 PM
USC coach Pete Carroll has an eye for talent. Check out the Trojans’ roster if you want proof.
Something special jumped out to Carroll years ago when he was recruiting left tackle Eugene Monroe. That has not changed.
“He’s awesome,“ Carroll said. “We recruited him in high school. He was the most perfect looking guy we saw coming out of high school. An awesome looking kid. Great athlete, good student, he was full grown about a long time ago.
“He might have been 300 pounds when he was in sixth grade, I don’t know. Beautiful athlete, No. 1 pick all the way, exactly what guys are looking for as a pass protector at left tackle. He’s a great player.“
Virginia QB Pete Lalich has to like the idea of Monroe protecting his blind side.
