From his freshman year on the baseball diamond, to his days as a senior on the football field, Eddie Vanderdoes has risen to an elite recruit.
It has been a fun ride to watch
Placer (Auburn, Calif.) star Eddie Vanderdoes morph from a "little" freshman to a massive Division I football recruit.
And when we say little, we mean compared to what he is now.
It has gone from, "you have to see this baseball player who can hit bombs and throw 90," to being as high as the No. 6 overall football recruit in the Class of 2013.
Let's journey back over his four years as captured by MaxPreps professional photographers. The last photo will be added once a decision has been made on
National Signing Day. You can watch that live here on MaxPreps.com at 5 p.m. PST.
