Bishop Amat OL loaded with potential

Junior to Watch: Cesar Rodriguez

School: La Puente (Calif.) Bishop Amat

Position: Offensive Line

Size and Speed: Rodriguez stands 6-foot-7, weighs 250 pounds, runs the 40-yard dash in 5.0 seconds, and benches 265 pounds.

Statistics: N/A.

Honors: Rodriguez was an all-area and all-league selection as a junior.

Favorite Schools: Rodriguez is keeping his recruiting options open at this early stage. UCLA, USC, Cal, ASU, Oregon and Colorado are showing interest.

The Skinny: “Cesar has a great attitude and he’s a player that you can count on,” Bishop Amat head coach Mike DiFiori. “We can line him up at either tackle position and we don’t skip a beat.”

Rodriguez brings a lot of the versatility to the table could end playing any line spot on the D-I level. He is a super athlete who has great feet and long arms. Rodriguez is very lean and has the frame that D-I schools likes. Once he gets into a D-I weight program he will gain another 30 pounds easily and he won’t lose any of his quickness or athleticism.

Rodriguez is also a standout on the hardwood and helped Bishop Amat win the southern section Division 1 championship in basketball. His outstanding footwork can be attributed to his outstanding performance in hoops.

Rodriguez is another player whose best days on the gridiron are ahead of him.
