Again, those two guys aren’t the norm. Both are exceptional.

Both were early enrollees and still neither started the season as the starter as a frosh. In fact, Tua didn’t become the starter until his sophomore year. And, yes, there probably was some doubt about whether Tua would start as a soph since the returning starter was still on the team. No doubt Lawrence is the starter going into his second season, but he is awfully special. Hardly the norm. Most college QBs, even ones who become great, have question marks as redshirt freshman. There are few “sure things.”
