Mission Viejo’s Drew Radovich is ranked the 8th best offensive guard among 175 prospects in this year’s National Football League draft. NFL Scout predicts he will become an NFL pro in the 5th round. The draft will be televised on nationwide cable TV from Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 26-27.
Drew is graduating from USC, but looks back to Mission Viejo High with greatest respect. “It was like a mini-SC,” Radovich told the Dallas News. “We had a strict weight-lifting regimen, along with off-season field and film work.”
Radovich graduated from MVHS in 2002 where he played on two state championship teams. Although he helped USC achieve a 47-5 record and win a national college championship, his best memory is MVHS’s CIF Championship win against Chino, and his two CIF rings are his most-prized possessions.
