Navasota QB - Shelton Eppler - Sets National Passing Record

[greenit]

Just set the national touchdown record for a season at 69 in the 3rd quarter of the Navasota/Argyle state championship game. Eppler is unrated and has no offers per 247sports.com. He is 6-0, 185lbs.

Crazy.

Ended the year with 71.

71.

I can't find any offers going his way. This was the first game I have seen him play. He did throw for 493 yards, but if 493 yards could ever be ugly this was the case. Argyle was blitzing him early and often and he looked uncomfortable the entire game, 493 yards of discomfort. I think he's only a jr so he may get some attention later on.

His throwing motion and arm strength arent very good though... He has the best set of high school receivers i can remember. They are always wide open and adjust tobthe ball really well!

I didn't realize he was just a junior. That explains it. I doubt he will be a big time QB recruit at the next level, but if he throws another 60+ TD passes next year, I am sure someone will throw a scholarship at him, even if it is at another position.

After watching this game and the Ennis/Cedar Park game, how do we not have offers out to a number of kids at these schools?

Good question. Do we know who their dads roomed with in college?

This kid is not a D1 QB.

This kid is not a D1 QB.

My thoughts exactly. Just like Bogie at Carthage

he's still pretty raw when it comes to being a quarterback. It'll be interesting to see what strides he can make in the next year
