BERKELEY PREP HEAD COACH DOMINICK CIAO
"I only had one year with Archie, but was he ever an impressive young man. He gives Vanderbilt both a tremendous athlete and an outstanding student. He's as quality a young person are you are going to come across."
"Archie is an intriquing football player. He's an athletic 6'4" guy, with the abilities to play any number of positions. I ended up playing him at quarterback and in just one year, he became a tremendous leader for us.
"The Vanderbilt coaches probably see Archie like I did, as an athletic guy that can do a number of things on the football field. I give them credit because Archie wasn't a guy on anybody's recruiting radar. But they found a gem in this young man."
