I think this is a really good option for this young man. CCSF has a high profile and a history of preparing players for the next level. This will give Jamie a chance to showcase his talent and prove (or not) that he can play D-1 football.

: I do find it intersting that on the one hand,
: Jensen's father has stated on this board
: that SJSU never returned their son's phone
: calls, yet on the other managed to offer a
: walk-on spot.
:
: I sincerly hope the kid does well at CCSF,
: and his interest in SJSU continues.

: Jensen to play for Rams, not Gavilan
: Mar 6, 2009
: By Josh Koehn - GHS Football
:
: GILROY - Gilroy High's record-setting
: quarterback Jamie Jensen has decided to
: attend and play football at City College of
: San Francisco in the fall.
: After receiving walk-on offers from San Jose
: State and Brigham Young University, Jensen
: felt the Rams were his best option.
:
: "The coaches, the surrounding cast - it
: was just a good fit," Jensen said.
:
: "There's a possibility of getting in
: there for one year and getting out. It's
: kind of up to me and how I perform."
:
: The CCSF Rams went 7-4 last season, and,
: according to the school's Web site, placed
: 37 players onto four-year schools during the
: span of 2003-04. The team most recently won
: a national championship in 2007.
:
: "I got a few offers for walk-ons and
: what not, where I could have gone there and
: earned my scholarship, but I think this is a
: good route, too," Jensen said.
:
: Last season Jensen threw for 3,210 yards, 29
: touchdowns and 17 interceptions while
: leading GHS to a 9-2 record and second
: straight appearance in the Central Coast
: Section Open Division playoffs. The team
: lost in the first round to Serra 45-14. In
: his junior year, his first as a starter,
: Jensen totaled 4,323 yards passing, 41
: touchdowns to 20 interceptions and the
: Mustangs made their first-ever CCS
: championship game appearance, ending with a
: 10-3 record and 46-35 loss to Oak Grove in
: the final.
:
: In just two seasons, Jensen owns virtually
: every GHS passing record.
:
: The signal-caller, who will be joining the
: Rams next week for throwing and playbook
: sessions with the CCSF coaching staff, said
: he will be competing with Darius Bell for
: the starting quarterback job. Bell, a 2008
: graduate of Riordan, is transferring to CCSF
: after initially signing with Montana State
: out of high school. In his senior year at
: Riordan, Bell led the Crusaders to their
: first-ever CCS championship, accumulating
: 2,737 yards passing with 25 touchdowns. He
: also ran for 714 yards and seven touchdowns.
:
: CCSF head coach George Rush and offensive
: coordinator Dan Hayes started recruiting
: Jensen earlier this year after it seemed
: like Jensen might not be offered a
: scholarship. The style of offense should
: suit Jensen's skill set.
:
: "They run a spread, pro-style
: (offense)," Jensen said. "They mix
: it up a little bit."
:
: Jensen said he will move to San Francisco
: while attending the school.
:
: CCSF, which plays is in the Coast Conference
: North, shares the same nickname as Gilroy's
: only junior college, Gavilan, which plays in
: the CC South.
