Daniel Lasco verbals to Cal; Welcome to Cal Daniel!

Daniel Lasco, a 6-1 tailback from Woodlands, Texas, has given Cal a verbal commitment to play football for the Bears. Lasco is a 4 star recruit according to Rivals.com, Espn.com, and Scout.com. Let’s take a look at what the sites are saying about him.


Scout.com had this to say about his strengths and weaknesses. Strengths: “Acceleration, Balance, Vision.” Weaknesses: “Power, Size.” Here’s some snippets from his scouting report: “A very smoothe runner, he makes it look effortless… His size does not make him strong between the tackles, but his quickness allows him to get yards between the tackles…”

Rivals.com had this to say about his tools: “Speed Blue Chip. Size, Strength, Agility, Elusiveness Division I player.” The scouts there said that he needs to add muscle and change directions more efficiently, while noting that he is very fast (a 4.4 40) and that he can also shift to safety or receiver. He’s in Rivals’ top 250 for the class of 2011.

Finally, Espn.com. They also mention his ability to shift to other positions, like safety and receiver. They also mention his great speed and acceleration. It is behind a pay wall, so I don’t feel it appropriate to quote it.

I’ll take a look at some of his tape later on, but for now here’s just a quick overview at what the sites are saying about Daniel. Welcome!
