A Wall Street Journal story explains how the success of quarterback Baker Mayfield led to college recruiters paying a little more attention to another quarterback from his high school who might otherwise have been overlooked. From the story:
The current quarterback at Lake Travis has benefited from playing in football’s post-Mayfield world. Matthew Baldwin wasn’t the starter until his senior year, even later than Mayfield, and the only colleges interested in him were the types of places that also have squash teams, Ivy League schools like Brown, Columbia and Dartmouth.Apparently those "squash" schools were onto something with Lake Travis High School quarterback Matthew Baldwin. From the story:
He committed this month to one of the many schools impressed enough to offer a scholarship much later than usual. Next season he’ll be a quarterback at Ohio State.(Thanks for the link.)
