Robert Morris is focusing on mostly skill position players in this recruiting cycle, and while they haven't placed a high priority on quarterbacks with five on the active roster, they've pulled the trigger and offered Cincinnati Moeller High quarterback Gus Ragland.
If RMU wasn't sold prior to this weekend, Ragland's performance in the Ohio state title game against Mentor was probably what led the Colonials to go ahead with the offer. Ragland was 12-of-13 for 273 yards and threw three touchdowns, and he ran 26 times for 210 yards and five more scores.
Simple math tells us that's a QB piling up 483 total yards and eight touchdowns, all in a state title game. Not bad.
The 6-foot-2, 210 pound Ragland is an all-around athlete, and that's where this could get interesting. Prior to this year, Ragland was a wide receiver. He grew up as a quarterback, but Moeller needed him at receiver last year and he caught over 30 passes on a championship team.
But he had an outstanding statistical performance as a QB this year, throwing for over 2,000 yards and rushing for over 1,500 while accounting for nearly 50 total touchdowns.
Here's his highlight film.
