Name to Know: Vontaze Burfict

From SI.com:

Vontaze Burfict, OLB
Corona (Calif.) Centennial

This 6-2, 235-pound monster of the gridiron totaled nearly 140 tackles in his junior year after missing his entire sophomore season due to injury. His Centennial team came up just a little short in the CIF state championship game, but Burfict showcased his ability to make plays in the backfield as well as run with receivers deep downfield. He should be a very hot commodity on the camp and combine circuit this spring. What will make him a high priority for any college is the fact that he has the size and speed to play all three linebacker positions. Look for several Pac-10 schools to battle for his signature.

Hopefully PC offers him soon.  Vontaze looks like a big-time player.

I remember reading Coach Carroll and Coach Sarkisian went to the Home Depot Center to see both CIF state championship games (Div. 1 and 2). I think they were there to scout Telemaque and Casey from LB Poly, but Centennial played that night. I'm sure they got a good look at him as well as others.

I think you're right AO. Burfict looks like a Man-ster!
