Got a 6'0" QB who will, if all things go well, break the state record for passing next fall, he has close to a 4.0 GPA, great competitor (turned around a losing program), great arm, and runs the ball well (when we let him). I'm having a hard time getting the schools to bite on him b/c of his height. Anyone out there gone through this and what did you do to help the situation or what did you learn from your experience. Thanks in advance.

Similar situation here in Ohio. Great QB named Alex Gedeon who's 6'2 220. Pitt, Miami (OH), and Syracuse were looking at him and no offers. He's now going to play at Harvard. I would look at Ivy League and Patriot league schools if he's that good of a student.
Also 1AA schools usually will give the kid a look if he's good enough to play 1A but not big enough by an inch or two.

I am going to have to echo bg here - Mr Ohio in football is walking on at a MAC school that offered a kid "right down" the street who was a 1 year starter. Mr. OH took his team to the DI (big school) state championship two years in a row in the spread offense - gunned and ran the team there on his back! The other kid, 1 year starter and they were bounced early in the DII playoffs. The difference? 6' 192 vs 6'4" 225.

Thanks in advance. Kansas was a top 10 team last year with a QB I KNOW is shorter than 5'10" , he probably isnt even 5'9". I don't know this HS recruiting game at all zero experience, but maybe a progressive "outside of the box" coaches like a Mangino are the ones to be looking at. They were in the national title hunt with a whole bunch of out of state "2 star" players most no other DI team wanted. |
