This kid is a special Dual threat QB, and it seems like the 757 area(his area in eastern VA) always pops out players like this(from Mike Vick to Aaron Brooks and Tyrod Taylor). Its just so hard to get these players from the south, most notably from the grasps VA Tech or even the ACC for that matter. I wonder if anyone knows our track record with kids from VA. And not the kids from NoVA(that's northern VA) they don't have near the talent as the Hampton Roads/757 area.

The Glennon brothers, Evan Royster and Bryn Renner would disagree. Add in Stonebridge High School in Ashburn which is churning out D1 football prospects and it would seem that Northern Virginia is doing quite well. Northern Virginia talent seems to be on the rise in a big way in recent years. Basketball is still ahead IMO for the area.

The Glennon Brothers et. al. would be wrong....

Vick Brothers, A. Brooks, R. Curry, A. Iverson, P. Harvin, T. Taylor, Plaxico Burress....going all the way back to Bruce Smith and Kenny Easley...the list goes on

No offense man, but Northern VA doesn't come close to the Hampton Roads area as far as talent, there's a reason an area as small as it constantly has teams winning the state championships. Phoebus and Oscar Smith alone have more talent and produce more D1 prospects than any of the teams you mentionend. And also throw in Lawrence Taylor as well who is someone from the area.
But anyway, sorry to get off topic. But I'm not so sure OSU has much luck in this area of the country. I'm not 100% sure if we even have any players on our roster from around VA
