I asked this question thinking of Mike Weber, a top RB recruit who chose OSU over Michigan; obviously I’m not exactly neutral on this. At OSU he certainly saw success, including a 1,000 rushing season and starting a number of games. But he was at a school overflowing with talent, and eventually got injured and passed up on the depth chart, made a questionable decision to declare for the draft, and last played in the CFL and UFL in 2024. Michigan had a pretty weak RB room then and he could have dominated there, including seeing significant time (maybe even starting?) as a true freshman.
What are some other examples of this? Players who had talent and some success at their chosen school, but could’ve really dominated if they chose differently?
