If only hype could help a quarterback compete passes. Remember the hysteria when Gavin Wimsatt arrived at Rutgers? The four-star recruit with the big arm from Kentucky was so anxious to get his college career started — in New Jersey! — that he left his high school team early in the season and raced to campus to join the Scarlet Knights in September 2021.
