Over the Saban and Miles years, almost all of the QBs have been from out of state. This includes Davey, Mauck, Russell, Flynn, Lee, and Mett.

The two exceptions are (cough, cough) Jefferson and Perriloux. Is this because of Louisiana high schools run simplistic offenses compared to Texas and California? Some other reason? What gives?

Seems like LSU should get any Louisiana QB they want whose last name isn't Manning.

Many schools put their best athlete at qb, thats part of the issue, the other part is there are very few good high school qb coaches in the state

Most kids that play QB in Louisiana end up playing WR or RB in college.

I think a lot of people who would be QBs end up playing baseball

What's amazing to me is that Drew Brees is the only QB from the state of Texas to have ever won a Super Bowl.

Nah dude, its easy to recruit LA. Any coach can win here even though our state doesn't produce the most important player on the field.

The biggest factor is the offenses of LA high schools! LA schools run a lot of Wing-T, veer, triple option concepts! You see a few teams that spread you out, but even most of those spread you out to run it. Very few offensive systems in the state have any sort of complex passing games, mostly just chunk it to me bruh and tunnel screens.

The schemes do not lend to Pro style learning at the HS level in too many cases. Sure, there are some exceptions, but too often the LA HS coaches rely on the speed of a tuck-and-run athletic QB, or on 4-5 speedy receivers, neither of which allow the development of pocket presence and field vision.
