Oh good God. You actually think he had a committable offer from Bama and michigan, just to end up with.......NC State?! The guy played through an MCL tear in high school and apparently dealt with injuries at NC state.
I'll take the guy that's been in the current offense for 2 years over the guy that was 3rd or 4th string at NC State with just a spring practice behind him here.
You really think an offer at Memphis as the 61st QB was better than offers from Alabama, Michigan, A&M, Arizona State, Colorado, NCST, Northwestern, South Carolina, etc etc etc and was ranked 18th/23rd in the nation?
Even by your logic, Vitt is a better choice than McBride because he’s been in the system two ACTUAL years (McBride has been in the system 1 year, he didn’t touch a football at TxSt until Jan 2020) AND beat out McBride halfway through the season until he dislocated his wrist.
Yes, I think Evans had his choice of P5 schools and chose the one he had the best chance at competing for immediate playing time until he got injured. And yes, I think an 88 rated QB can win a competition against an 81 rated streaky QB.
