Why do so many high school quarterbacks fail in college?
I have been around high school ball for 20+ years. In talking to them after they are playing in college I heard a basic repeating theme.
In high school the other team always had one or two really good players, in fact the team practices were based around stopping or staying away from the opponents good players.
In college every player is as good, or better, as that high school star. Every one. Half of the players were better than anything they had ever seen. High school to college is a whole different world. Many could not play the new college game.
The step from college to pro ball is even bigger. It is a different game, with different players.
