Maybe he would have won the Fields Medal had he gone to Stanford[/sarcasm]?
As you point out, the irony is that had he gone to Stanford from 2009-2013, he probably would have had more football success than at Penn State. The question is where he would have fit in on our line? I mean, David DeCastro was recruited the year before him, so would have locked down one of the guard slots until 2011. 2009 and 2010 you had Andrew Phillips in his senior/5th year Senior years, so Urschel probably redshirts his freshman year and doesn’t see the field as a sophomore.
By 2012 (his 3rd year), he would have battled Kevin Danser to be the starting RG and might have been an upgrade, though in 2012 Danser was a second team all-Pac12 Guard whil Urschel wasn’t even a starter at Penn State. Would have been an interesting battle.
