1st Commit 2016: 6' 4" QB Donovan Williams (Va)

[Exit 4]

Yes, one great QB would be nice.

This year we did manage to bring in an armada of potential trick play QBs at the college level: Zechino, Skanes, Hahn, Dixon and even Rose.

Very often QBs are the best athletes on a high school team. For example, Darius Butler was a high school option QB. So a class full of QBs is a class full of play makers.

This is especially true up north, where high school offenses are traditionally run heavy. It's also important to note that high school need to have a high football IQ to lead an offense. Never hurts to have smart football players all over the field.

I've made this point before, but it was Bud Wilkinson's strategy at Oklahoma in the 50s. Recruited many quarterbacks and converted those not winning the job to other positions, including the line.

And other intangibles, leadership, dedication to learning the play book etc. This should only benefit this young team and program. I expect to see more classes just like that last two from Diaco and staff.
