What is with the QB talent coming out of SoCal? Seriously.

And is it wrong to have back-to-back Brady's coming to the OSU QB room;-)

As long as I have followed recruiting, SoCal has always cranked out top QBs like no other. I can't tell you why that is (maybe population and the consistent warm weather to throw the ball in all year?) but I am just glad we are seriously tapping into that pool of talent.

And no, it would definitely be acceptable to have back-to-back Brady's :) Fingers crossed on this one and you hope Kelly's visit is correlated with the decommitment, would be a heck of a follow up to TSC and then you have Edmonds in '27...yikes.

Initially, I would guess year round nice weather and a large population created an environment for QBs to develop. That led to high schools slinging it around more, which sped up development. Then, private coaches started to become a thing, and many are located there. Now, it's a self sustaining ecosystem.

Quote from QB Brady Smigiel in an On3 interview this week -

Ohio State was an early favorite, but the departure of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly to the NFL brought some other schools to the front.

“It was coach Kelly at Ohio State, but now that he got the Raiders job that’s kind of off the table now,” Smigiel said. “I would say Washington, UCLA, Auburn, South Carolina and Michigan.”
