Alex Torkelson

Commitment: Rho house – Indiana Chapter
Rating: Two stars
Position: QB
Hometown: Indianapolis, Indiana
Height: 5-9
Weight: 170 lbs.

Strengths:

-He’s alright, I guess. The Rhos were desperate late in the game.
-Dual threat QB. He’s got short guy speed.
-Napoleon complex. Fantastic shit talker.

Weaknesses:

-No arm. Barely accurate.
-Does not back up his big mouth on the field.
-Will embarrass the house on weekly basis with temper tantrums.
-Has to replace Rho legend Chad Cross, who led the house to two intramural championships.
-Result of lazy recruiting. Might cost rush chair his job.
-Should be a B-teamer, but Rho doesn’t have a QB.
-Third string QB on his high school team. Would have been cut if it weren’t against state law to cut public school players.

Outlook: Going to be tough for him to come in as a true freshman and fill the shoes of “Cannon” Cross. Lots of pressure on the kid, but he just needs some confidence early on. Knock out some wins against some bottom tier teams and he could be fine. He’ll manage the game and take care of the football for you, maybe make some plays with his legs.

Worst case: He ruins Rho’s reputation and sets the house back.
Best case: He bridges the gap for a year or two until Rho can land the right guy for the job.
