Chandler (Ariz.) High quarterback
Will Mencl has quickly become one of the most sought-after signal-callers in America.
At this point in the process, four schools have his attention the most.
Oregon is setting the pace with Auburn, Miami and Penn State in position to make a move once he visits in the spring.
Miami is coming on strong for Mencl.
“I used to live in South Florida,” Mencl said. He moved out to Arizona after the eighth grade football season. “That’s where I started to fall in love with football.
“The culture they have, I’m someone big on culture. Miami knows exactly who they are. If you’re not with it they don’t worry about it. They have a moxie to them I really like.”
Mencl also likes the style of play.
“The numbers they put up,” he said. “You can’t argue with the results with Cam Ward, Carson Beck and what Darian Mensah is about to do. The pure passers they develop. They have guys that can extend with their legs but are looking to be pocket guys and move the ball downfield with pace.”
Mencl is coming off a junior season where he completed over 70 percent of his passes for 3,815 yards and 33 touchdowns to just five interceptions. He added another 741 yards rushing and 17 more scores.
