About Sam

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a tall strong athlete that has the ability to run when needed to and also stay in the pocket and handle the pressure. I have good vision and I can break down plays very efficiently.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am someone that never gives up through adversity and fights until there is nothing else to give. I push my self to be the best I can possibly be.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I am invoked with the fca (fellowship of Christian athletes) at my school and also in my schools freshman mentor program next year and NHS

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I know how to push others in a positive way and not one that brings down and in return I take constructive criticism very well and learn for it. I have been the captain for my team all years of playing and enjoy the role through the ups and downs.

Vandello impressed at quarterback on Day 1. He is a very polished and rhythmic thrower. His throws are on time off the last step of his drop as he anticipates windows. He can push the ball downfield with accuracy as well. Vandello works through his progression without double-clutching or showing indecisiveness as he works his way to his checkdown.

Vandello is a big signal caller at 6’4″ 200 pounds. Powerful runner that also brings some creativity.  Best as a runner at this point. Touch on intermediate routes with zip.
