Drew Sample is an outstanding football player and he is doing just what all the top kids around the Northwest need to be doing.  He is following “the love” as they say to Junior Days and visitations.  These visits, which prospects on the rise are invited to make, can often pay big dividends for those taking the time out of their busy schedule to make.

Drew Sample is #80 for Newport High School and a Top Tight End in the Region!

Drew is a gifted 6’5″- 225 lb Tight End from Newport High School in Bellevue, Washington.  No doubt he is one of the best looking Tight End Prospects in this years Class of Northwest Prospects.  But he also has worked his butt off to gain recognition and get his skill set perfected.

When the Montana Grizzlies began recruiting him that made perfect sense.  A lot of top kids focus on the Pac 12 schools because they all have that dream.  No doubt a dream Drew could be destined for.  But when a smaller school in the D-1 AA or D-2 Ranks calls many kids sort of slow play that as being something not to be pursued at high speed.

For Sample going to the Montana Junior Day was important and given his full attention.  And it paid off for him as the Grizzlies made him an offer to play for them next season landing him his first offer and solidifying him as one of the top prospects in the Region.  Bottom line is offers do not lie and he is one of the first guys to land one.

So we walked through the trip with Drew.

“The first thing I noticed about Montana is the beautiful scenery also the coaching staff was really great I really like the direction they are trying To take the program. Also you can’t help but love the passion everyone in town has for the football team it’s a really great environment,” said Sample.

Anyone who has been to Missoula get’s what he is saying.  The place is all about the scenery and Football.

Sample talked about the offer it self,  “Getting my first offer was an awesome feeling I felt like all my hard work had paid off. When I was at the Montana Jr day coach Delaney the head coach pulled me aside towards the end of the day and offered me it was an amazing feeling.”

Drew caught 12 passes for 218 yards last season and scored 5 times.  Almost 20 yards a catch and 40 % were Td’s!  Not too shabby for the fast (4.7 40 time) and rangy target who was the first team Kingco Tight End last season.

Other things on this schedule include the Idaho Junior Day this weekend and a Junior Day at Oregon State in April.  Pretty nice range of options to be looking at.
