The End of the Texas QB Dominance

There was a stretch from ~2006 to around 2012 or so where our state was churning out a lot of elite QB prospects each year. There seemed to be 4 or 5 four star or better QB's every year. I know the spread and doing so much summer 7 on 7 was largely credited for the boom in elite Texas QB prospects.

However, our production of QB prospects seems to have dropped off in the last few years as a state. Have other state's just adopted the spread? Was this more of a "market correction' where a lot of those 4/5 star QB's out of Texas didn't pan out, and our state's QB's were over hyped in that era in retrospect?

What is going on?

It has to be an anomaly. They'll be back. Hell, Mond may be the next one if you consider him a Texan.

Like you said Texas high school football is spread-centric and along with it being so populous and football-focused, the QBs are bound to come.

Why do you think it has dropped off? Mayfield is a Heisman candidate. Mahomes just went in the first round. Stidham looks like he will be a stud for Auburn. Barrett is starting for Ohio State and Hurts for Bama, two programs with playoff hopes. About the only thing that has changed is the volume that wind up out of state.
