The big, athletic QB has been extremely impressive this summer to those who have seen him throw. All 5A Central Metro as a junior, Awini is expected to have a big senior season in 2010. CU is believed to like him a lot.

Junior Highlights

[aNIKin]

Awini starting to get noticed

"I really do like CU," Awini said. "It is close to home and we have had two people from my high school that have gone to CU to play (Corey Nabors and Maurice Lucas) and I like their campus. … I just sent CU my film and they said they are going to take a look at that and get back at me."

Also noted in the article is that Awini played wide receiver as a sophomore and is athletic enough to move over if it didn't work out at QB. His main area for improvement is accuracy.

[aNIKin]

I switched Awini over to Athlete from Quarterback.

Not only are we full at QB, but it seems that we were recruiting him as an athlete anyway. I'm also going to make this switch for Trent McKinney and Brett Smith.

Awini was named the 2010 Gatorade Player of the Year in Colorado.

Congrats, Jaleel!!!

Thanks. Pretty much every profile needs to get updated. At least this one is correct now.

Has anyone heard anything on this kid lately?

[aNIKin]

CSU or AFA right now. AFA is a better offense for him and would set him up for life. Deciding whether the military life would suit him.

Would be a bit of a project to tighten up his fundamentals but this kid has the size and athletism and (from what I can tell from film) a good enough arm to be a very good QB. Also the kind of athlete who could play WR.

It's not a reach to think that a decent qb coach could get this guy's mechanics in order. I didn't notice any deep passes on the vids. Anyone know if he can launch 'em deep?

[aNIKin]

CSU grabs Awini. It's soft, though. Fairchild will need to work it if he wants to get this solid.
