My first thought was Russell Shepard for LSU. #1 dual threat QB in 2009 but was considered undersized at 6’1 195 lbs. He only got playing time at RB/WR and gadget plays from the wildcat but he never really threw the ball. This was all while we were going through QB struggles under Les Miles.
Had he known he wasnt gonna play QB, I’m guessing he would’ve transferred out. He was considered like a Percy Harvin at QB coming out of high school in the Houston area. He even chose LSU over Florida (and Texas) and could’ve been great there too.
Granted, he made it to the NFL as a WR for a few years but he had so much potential at QB.
