Rome Eager to Show Skills

Granby (Norfolk, VA) quarterback Bobby Rome is one of the most impressive prospects without a scholarship offer in the 2005 class. The 6-1, 210 pound signal caller possesses a “rocket for an arm” according to Granby Head Coach Dave Hudak.

Though he only times out at 4.8 in the 40, Rome is a legitimate dual-threat from the quarterback position.

“I’m a scrambler but I can also sit in the pocket,” Rome said. He’s earned all-Eastern district honors the past two seasons. “I make plays. I’m not quick to breakout of the pocket and run, but if the time comes for me to use my feet, I’ll make a play with my feet. I’m quick and if I get behind you, then I’m gone. I’m the kind of player that doesn’t test well, but when somebody’s chasing me on the field, they can’t catch me. A lot of schools have said that I look a lot faster on the field than what my times reflect.”

Rome hopes to change his offer-less status very soon. He plans on participating in several camps this summer. He has already been to camp at West Virginia and felt very good about his performance.
