This is an interesting case as New Mexico is an under the radar football state. Rivals doesn't even have a state ranking list. With the state so large with a small population and few FBS prospects, I can't imagine there are many college recruiters scouting the state.
There are 2 FBS schools in New Mexico, but no FCS programs, so there are very limited in-state college football opportunities. (There are 3 D2 schools, but no D3 schools in New Mexico.) In addition, both New Mexico and New Mexico St. recruited multiple QBs last year and New Mexico is bringing in a JUCO QB this year, so QB does not seem to be a position of need for either team.
I can see how he may not have any football scholarships even if he was an FBS caliber QB.
