Short of a sudden drastic injury to one of the Wildcats’ starting safeties, I can’t imagine Pat Fitzgerald or coordinator Mike Hankwitz would elect to burn Queiro’s redshirt this season. The point is, Queiro received first-hand advice from a local source, and Dickerson should help make him feel as comfortable as possible. Getting acclimated and just fitting in with a new team is like half the battle. It does mean Queiro is an explosive and dynamic player, and that his transition should go over more smoothly with Dickerson there to offer guidance along the way – which is an awful lot to like about a recruit from the outset. If you saw or heard about Cameron Dickerson’s touchdown catch in last year’s spring game – in which a well-covered Dickerson adjusted to a slightly off-target rainbow heave down the right sideline from Trevor Siemian, contorted his body mid-flight to snatch the ball out of cornerback Nick VanHoose’s clutches, then pranced into the end zone on a 40-yard touchdown strike – know that Queiro hails from the same New Jersey high school (Bergen Catholic), was named an all-county triple jumper and high jumper and also lettered twice as a varsity basketball player.ĭoes that mean Queiro offers the same breathtaking athleticism and ball skills as his high school teammate? Well, no. Queiro, too, is two-way player, but unlike Igwebuike, his intended field of operation – safety – is pretty much sewn up. When a decision is reached, it will come down to running back or safety. There remains some indecision on behalf of classmate Godwin Igwebuike’s position choice I’ve been told coaches are “arguing” over his services. I can see why they’re thinking so positively.” “There’s the academic part, obviously, but football is on the rise not only getting their first bowl win, but the players feel the same way I do-they’re talking about Big Ten championships, and in a few years, a national championship. “I’m extremely excited about the program as a whole,” Queiro said. Delivers a blow to defense and runs through tackles.” Will continue to develop in this area as he plays more and more. Limited play at receiver early on in career. Possesses very good change-of-direction skills- can jump cut, stop and start in a hurry and explode out of his cuts for a bigger receiver. Possesses a long wiry frame that already has good strength with room to grow. “Queiro is a guy that could develop on both sides of the ball, but his upside is clearly on offense with more fine tuning.
