Slightly OT, but it involves a Coastal team. Virginia signed a QB/WR from Germany named Luke Wentz. He's a real German, not an American with parents stationed over there.

Eventually, one of these skill guys will make it. That will be very interesting for the growth of the game.

But he has been playing HS ball in the states right? Is he just an American with German parents or did he recently move down here? Pretty cool regardless

Nope, he's from Germany and played there. Three Germans signed Power 5-- a guard with UVA and a DT with Penn State.

Interesting, but I don’t see it working out.

I can think of one analogy:

US has been sending young soccer players to Europe for decades, and we haven’t had even one player make it big over there in soccer.

And a lot more Americans play soccer than Europeans play football.

It’s not that easy when you don’t have decent competition around you every day, great coaching, and when you’re not around football all the time.
 
This thread made me look up to see if Bjorn Werner was still alive. I think he played a season of high school football in Connecticut so it's not exactly the same deal and eff the Noles but I thought that kid was gonna be a dominant NFL player too.

Christian Pulisic would like a word with you.

I wonder why you didn't pick the NBA for your analogy?
