Oaks Christian quarterback and recent Washington commit Nick Montana impressed me with his accuracy and mobility at Air Strike Tournament on Saturday at Dana Hills.

Sure, he has things to work on like all high school quarterbacks but the 6-foot-3, 191-pounder is certainly a Pac-10-level recruit. He has a strong-enough arm but not a Matt Barkley-like cannon.

His No. 1 strength at this point might be throwing on the run.

And as his Coach Bill Redell noted with a smile, his father - NFL legend Joe Montana - was pretty good at that, too.

Just ask the Dallas Cowboys.
