If you want to see a really good college football team play today, there is a game tonight at 7 pm at American River College. #2 ranked JC in California and #24 nationally. 112 kids, almost all local, are on the roster, although about 30 will redshirt or greyshirt.
ARC’s top talent is Caleb Tremblay. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound defensive tackle is so dominant, Alabama has already offered a scholarship and has the Napa native on speed dial. He landed at ARC because his brother, Josh, played for the Beavers in 2012 after Solano folded its program. Caleb Tremblay had to shore up his grades. He has. Now he’s ready to be unleashed on the field.
“He’s a freak show,” Osterhout said of Tremblay. “A 420-pound bench, a 550-pound squat, incredibly gifted, fluid hips, got it all. Dynamic player, and film doesn’t lie. He’s unblockable. Big-time programs are on him like a dog on rawhide.”
ARC’s roster also includes Marcel Brooks-Brown, a Bee All-Metro running back from Rio Linda who went to Utah on scholarship. He came home after being shot twice by random bullets at a party in Salt Lake City two years ago. But the competition is fierce in the ARC backfield with Dante Davis of Cosumnes Oaks High and Evyn Holtz of Rocklin also worthy of carries.
And there’s Ryan Robards, The Bee’s 2015 Player of the Year from Elk Grove who produced one of the greatest single seasons – running, defending, kicking, punting, leading, winning – the region has seen in nearly three decades. Robards had no scholarship offers, deemed a step slow, a tad too short. He played a year of baseball at Pacific and is now eager to scratch a football itch that never left.
