Great athlete who may have been a great QB if taught that in HS


Especially in the portal era, you aren't going to see a diamond-in-the-rough QB come from a high school running program and develop into a passing QB in college. There's just no time for that anymore. With all the QB camps and advanced HS programs, there is pressure to bring in a polished QB and get him on the field ASAP. And if you are not the clear starter by your Jr year, you are probably portaling to a lesser program or one that is in desperate need for a QB.

A good example of this is Tate Martel at Ohio State. Great athlete who got freshman PT but only in running situations. It was clear he was not nearly as advanced as anyone on the roster because he just didn't come in polished, and now he's on what, his third school?
