Preferred Walk-on Quarterbacks

so outside of mayfield what other quarterback out of the thousands who have played major college football can you name to have walked on and won a heisman?

I see where some have offers from other places(small schools).

Being on the team at LSU>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "small schools" if you're in it just for the college life experience.

I mean, it's not like LSU's tuition is going to break the bank.

Why do they sign on?

not many people in this world can say that they played QB for a major university...walk-ons can check that box. I would certainly help in the dating department, but honestly, simply being able to say that you played football for LSU opens all kinds of doors in later life. And, if the team wins a national championship while you are playing, you get a ring just like the scholarship guys.

For the record, backups backup at LSU probably does better in the dating department than the starter at Nicholls, all things being equal.

For you to truly get the benefit of being a big fish in a small pond, you have to go to a pond where the fishes care about the team.

When I was at Southeastern, for example, most of the girls and/or guys couldn't name the starting quarterback. Does you no good to be on that team.

Also does very little good to say you played college football at Southeastern compared to LSU during job interviews. Considering most employers don't care about playing time.

Matt Mauck comes to mind. A baseball player from Indiana and a walk-on QB who turned out pretty good.

I rather sit the bench at LSU than start at Southeastern. It would probably open a lot of networking doors in your career after college especially if you wanted to be a coach.
