Hi Warriors,
My name is Kilton Anderson. I was tipped off by a friend about this post and wanted to provide some clarification.
First of all, I agree with the assessment made about me. My highlight tape does fail to demonstrate many of the passes that college coaches want to see. I ran the Veer at Naples High School in Florida, so you will see a lot of deep passes and rushing.
However, before I became a Dual Threat I spent time in the pocket. I am now at Skyline High school in Sammamish, Washington who have a passing offense. This fall will be my senior season, so hopefully I will be able to establish that I have the ability to play in either system.
I get the question frequently about why I don't have many offers. I believe I have had some unique challenges present. I was geographically isolated (SW gulf tip of Florida), my coach had my Hudl account locked, and I wasn't in a passing offense. Those are issues I had very little control over. On the bright side, I am now in a passing offense, have a very talented and supportive head coach, have access to QB Coach Taylor Barton, and I have a plethora of talented team-mates (I have always had the benefit of amazing teammates).
I run a 4.5 40, bench 275, squat 420, vertical 35", shuttle 4.1, and long jump 10'2". Documented. I have been on the honor roll for three years and have a 4.0 plus GPA. I had a big time program comment that they thought my highlight tape had been sped up, until they saw me in person and knew that wasn't the case. It is unfortunate that these types of conclusions are drawn without confirmation.
I had 45 touchdowns last year (#1 scorer in Florida's largest division 6A), have gone to the State playoffs twice and received All-State, All-District, All-Conference and All-Area honors as a junior. In the past six weeks I have earned three QB MVP awards (VTO, Northwest Elite Index/Barton Football camp and Northwest Elite Football camp).
I have camped at South Alabama and Missouri this week. I will attend the UW camp towards the end of June. I won't be attending other camps this summer. With a new offense to nail down and a big season opener I can't afford to focus on anything else at this point. I've got a championship to pursue full-bore. I've got two great offers from South Alabama and Pennsylvania.
I have expressed my interest to the coaches at Hawaii. The family story goes that my Scottish grandfather (no idea how many times removed) was an assistant to the Queen of Hawaii. Obviously the man was intelligent to leave soggy Scotland for the Islands!
I appreciate the post, and the feedback.
This year I was one of two juniors named to the 2012 Florida HS Football Class 6A Elite Team. I was listed as a Athlete which is an accomplishment considering Florida has insane athletes.
http://floridahsfootball.com/2013/02/04 ... lite-team/ I am determined to show that not only am I a leading rusher, but a leading passer too.
Sometimes you have late risers. I am sure I am not the only player struggling to overcome bias of other circumstances. It would be a pretty boring story if there weren't obstacles and challenges as you write your story. I am on the edge of my senior year and I am intent on making this the best chapter yet. Hopefully Hawaii will take a look.
Thanks Warriors!
