Arizona’s Poindexter

The word Poindexter is synonymous with nerd, or geek. When college football recruiters came across the name Shawn Poindexter, they must not have taken him very seriously.

But, it was probably more because Shawn Poindexter played volleyball and he is a newcomer to the game of football.

But, any time a Wide Receiver is around 6-7, 215 and he can run, it’s time to not worry about his name and put out full effort to land the guy.

Arizona rarely recruits many really big name guys. This past class was rated 47th by ESPN. Shawn

Poindexter was Arizona’s lowest rated recruit and he was not even rated at all.

Neither was Jack Conklin from Michigan State and he was just one of the top players picked in last year’s NFL Draft.

Poindexter is from Peoria, Arizona and he played at Glendale Junior College. While in high school, he played football, basketball and volleyball and he actually signed to play volleyball at a small college.

But, he never went.

Two years ago, the Arizona had 4 guys that stood 6-3, or taller, at their Wide Receiver positions. They had Texas transfer Cayleb Jones, Austin Hill and Trey Griffey that stood 6-3. David Richards was 6-4.

All of those guys are gone now, except for Trey Griffey, so Poindexter will bring some much needed size to the Wide Receiver ranks.

They have plenty of shorter speedy guys playing the receiver positions, but they needed some size

and along comes Shawn Poindexter.

Early reports out of Tucson are looking good for Shaun Poindexter and his teammates are high on him.
