Has a prospect chosen baseball over football?
 
I know there is a ton of players who play both so probably yes, a ton. But like Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, I heard someone say Ricky Williams, seems like the big name college guys choose football no?

Found this article about other college QBs who chose baseball. But I don't recognize any of their names so they probably weren't great QBs. Todd Helton, Shea Morenz, Joe Borchard and Kyle Parker.

Seems like no highly ranked QB has chosen baseball over football.

Yeah he's in the 2nd article I posted. Sounds like he could have gone and played in the NFL and done well.

Joe Mauer was a pretty highly rated QB prospect, but he never actually played at the college level.
