Early years
He played high school football at Dominguez High School in Compton, where he was a 2003 Super Prep and Prep Star All-American his senior year. Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Rachal was listed as the No. 12 offensive tackle prospect in the class of 2004.[1]
College career
Rachal redshirted his freshman year at offensive guard and tackle in the 2004 season. In the 2005 season he appeared in all 13 games as a backup offensive guard and on special teams. As a redshirt sophomore, he started all 12 games at right offensive guard in the 2006 season, earning a spot on the All-Pacific-10 Conference second team.
For the 2007 season, the redshirt junior again started at right guard. Despite missing three games due to a sprained knee suffered against Washington, Rachal was named to the 2007 All-Pacific-10 Conference First Team Offense.[2][3] At the end of the season, Rachal's father, Charles, mentioned that his son had told him he was declaring for the 2008 NFL Draft due to family medical issues.[4][5] The month following his father's comment, Rachal stated his 64-year-old father, who works in construction, had recently suffered two hernias, and has tendinitis in his knees and his mother had been diagnosed with an abdominal growth the size of a six-month-old child, though he was unclear whether it was benign or malignant. His mother had informed him of her condition after the 2007 regular season. The only underclassman at USC to leave that year, Rachal stated "I had to do what was best for my family."[6]
