re: Russell Shepard vs. Lindsey Scott Jr. (HS Senior Year)

Was Russell Shepard recruited as a QB? Yes and no. Many schools would have loved for him to play QB for them, but many others were thinking of him as an athlete.

Nevertheless, he was listed by nearly every recruiting service as a QB.

247 - Dual-Threat Quarterback

Rivals - Dual-Threat Quarterback

Scout - QB


Scott's rushing stats are better than Shepard's. But far more importantly, Scott's passing stats are SIGNIFICANTLY better than Shepard's stats: Comp%, total yards and YPA, and TDs and TD:Int ratio.

But the thing that has to blow you away is the QB Rating. Holy shite!

So you couple better than Shepard rushing ability with amazing passing prowess. That's impressive.
