Didn't Ben Rothlesberger go to Miami (Oh) or Ohio? Phil Simms went to Morehead State. Delaware produced a couple - Rich Gannon and the Raven's QB Flacco. Not that is is the norm but it happens. Of all the universities in Florida only 1 QB was drafted last year - McGough from FIU. And he stuck to the Seattle practice squad. Didn't the Saints have a great wide out that played at Hofstra? You have Fitzmagic from an Ivy League school. There are plenty of exceptions to every rule. Yes, there are D2 players that didn't get a sniff from D1 schools. ALL of those mentioned were the elite of D2 football, not the special teams guy or second string player. The whole back end of this thread is about the VSU QB coming to USF. IF he can come in and make a difference, I'm all for it. I just think the odds are against that happening.

Interesting read; https://www.ncsasports.org/football/recruiting-guidelines the VSU QB just finished 2nd for the equivalent of the D2 heisman trophy as a sophomore. that's certainly closer to elite than a special teams player. I'm talking about making our roster not some NFL roster we just had our 2 primary backups leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll never know because they're playing D1 ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had an NFL tryout but never made the team. Edited January 13, 2019 by Blackice12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not assuming anything because, and please try to understand my comment - "We'll never know because they're playing D1 ball." Hell, one of these kids COULD be the next Baker Mayfield, or your guy could. At this point we do not know. What we DO know is that he's a D2 qb on a D2 team, nothing more. WAIT! I forgot, they could also totally suck. I felt I needed to throw that in there for you. Edited January 13, 2019 by BDYZR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a kid threw for 4,000 yards, 38 td’s, ran for another 800 yards, was runner up for Mr. Football, and won the state championship in high school, would you want him as a recruit?

He didn't run it at all this game for some reason, but at least it gives you an idea of how he runs the offense. The offense seems to be based on touch and accuracy instead of having a cannon of an arm. https://www.msn.com/en-ie/news/video/2018-division-2-football-championship-ferris-state-vs-valdosta-state-full-game-highlights/vp-BBS2hJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
