Just trying to understand the thought process here.
 
Most programs have access to kids with similar builds and stats. It's the intangibles that get the rating, grades, character, coachability
 
Here is one for you
550+ pound squat, 350+ clean and bench press, 4.7 40 while weighing around 215
LB who will break the all-time tackle record at a legacy C5 program
175' discus thrower and almost 50' shot putter
Probably has Straight As, a great kid and has a nose for the football and a brother in the NFL

BUT alas he is only 5'10 and 2" too short to get D1 programs to give him scholarship. A linebacker, not a QB. Absolutely f'in nuts! That is Fort Osage's Anthony Thompson

Carthage had a kid for a while who, had he been a couple inches taller, would've gotten a bunch of P5 offers at LB.

Hall of Famer and 2X Super Bowl Champ Ray Lewis had zero offers 4 days before signing day. Finally. He got the call. One offer.

Colleges also look at potentials. Sometimes someone extra raw but “built like an NFL player” matters more than the kid who’s further along but has less chances of getting to his size and “his ceiling”
