NJ Athlete Has Six Offers

One of the top athletes in the state of New Jersey, Hackensack High School star Danny Oquendo has the ability to play many different positions on the next level. The 6-2, 190 pound prospect with 4.5 speed could end up at wide receiver, safety, or cornerback. Oquendo is a true ‘athlete’, and schools vary in terms of where they see him on the next level.

“I’ve heard different positions for most of the schools recruiting me,” Oquendo said. “Maryland wants me as a wide receiver and Virginia Tech wants me as a cornerback. Other schools like me as an athlete. It doesn’t matter to me. I don’t have any preferences.”

Maryland and Virginia Tech have both offered Oquendo, who plays wide receiver, safety, and serves as the punt and kick-off return man. As a junior, he made 30 catches for around 600 yards and six touchdowns. He added one punt return and one kick-off return for scores. Rarely off the field, Oquendo is the true iron-man for Hackensack.

“He’s a good wide receiver, he’s a good defensive back…he’s just a great athlete on both sides of the ball,” Hackensack Head Coach Ralph Dass said. “He’s got good speed. He’s a playmaker. He makes plays for us…whether it’s a big catch, a big hit, or a key return. Danny’s an exciting athlete.”
