3-star OL Walter Rouse commits to Stanford

Card Class 19 grew a lot on Friday, nabbing 6-foot-6, 285-pound OL Walter Rouse from Washington, DC.

Stanford and Notre Dame were the final two, but Rouse chose the Cardinal over the Irish, announcing his decision through a YouTube video.

Rouse also had offers from Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and dozens more.

The 247 Sports composite ranks Rouse as the #50 offensive tackle in the nation and the #524 player in the country.

Big boy.

Surprised he is ranked that low.

Other 3-stars

Maybe Rouse is lower-rated due to the level of competition he faces.

And...

Casey Toohill
Jake Bailey
Jovan Swann.

Harrison Phillips was a 3-star recruit.

Yup

My unscientific, un-researched guess is that a lot of Stanford players come out of academically-oriented schools that play in less-competitive leagues, so the recruits get less attention, hype, and credit.

A toast...

…to anecdotal evidence, surmise and conjecture. May they live long and prosper!

Hope so!
