While Andrew Hendrix and Zach Lee appear to be the top QB's the Commodores are pursuing right now, one other prospect that recently picked up an offer is Cuero (Texas) Tyler Arndt. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound completed nearly 64-percent of his passes in 2008 for 2,210 yards and 25 touchdowns with just 5 interceptions.
As a sophomore, he completed 67-percent of his passes for 2,479 yards and 23 touchdowns with just three picks.
On paper, he may remind you of a Charlie Goro in terms of the accuracy, but on film you see a guy that really reminds you of a Brett Favre. He's got good feet, maybe not as athletic as Goro, but good enough to get him set. His arm looks pretty strong. May not have a complete rifle, but he seems to have the confidence that he can fit the ball anywhere and on top of that, he does get more than adequete RPM's on most of his passes. The other reason why he reminds you of Favre is with his delivery. It's a little low, kind of a sling motion, but his deep ball does have a great arch to it and his medium range ball comes out with great velocity and stride.
Other programs that have offered Arndt include Missouri and TCU, so it will be interesting to see if VU can get this talented player out of Texas. Over the years, more D1-A starters have came out of the state of Texas than any other school and for whatever reason, Vanderbilt has not had a Texas passer on the roster in decades. So maybe the timing is right for that to happen with Arndt or maybe Lee.
VU is still pursuing Hendrix very aggressively and they are still in the boat apparently with Robert Bolden, Devin Burns and Darren Daniel, but Arndt might be the guy to really watch with VU in the coming months.
