2014 Future Hoosier Q&A: Alexander Diamont

2014 Future Hoosier Q&A: Alexander Diamont

We are kicking-off a brand new  series here at Hoosier Huddle that will be recruiting based. Throughout the year we will be talking to the players who have pledged their commitments to play there college football for Indiana University. 

We figured we would get things started with, where else, the quarterback position.  So I checked in with Alexander Diamont, the Hoosier quarterback commit out of the State of California. Diamont stands at 6'2" and is ranked as the number 100 prostyle quarterback according to the 247 Composite. However, by taking one look at his highlight film, and you know that the Venice product has more talent than the rankings show.

When speaking with Zander, as he prefers to be called, he displayed the confidence you have come to expect from a signal caller from the Golden State. He was extremely comfortable answering just about any question, and truly seemed to love IU with a passion.

Make sure to check out the interview with the future Hoosier quarterback as well as Zanders highlights after the jump!

While on its own merits the news was exciting, Barwick is still arguably the highest rated recruit to join the class thus far, the fact of the matter is that it once again signaled a late start for Hoosier recruiting.  While other programs had already signed handfuls of players, Indiana has just one.  But that’s when the dominoes started to fall again.
