Easton Bruere should be having the time of his life right now.

He just finished his senior season as quarterback at Rio Rancho (New Mexico) High School by leading it to a 13-0 record and a 6A state title.

According to MaxPreps, Easton threw for 4,567 yards and 49 touchdowns with only six interceptions this season. In the process, he became the state's all-time leader in passing yards.

Easton should be getting ready to enjoy his final semester of high school before heading off to college to resume his playing career.

But there's one small problem.

He has zero scholarship offers less than a week before national signing day.

How could he find himself in this situation?

The primary reasons for his present circumstances are largely beyond his control.

Similar story with my step brother, although he perhaps wasn't as dominant or gifted with a next level body as that kid. Only two kids got scholarships to D-1 schools from his state in his class. Both my step brother and the other kid (Nate Gerry who plays for Nebraska) beat out kids who were older and much more highly regarded by the scouting services for playing time as true Freshmen. Both kids dominated in the college camps they attended, but since they were from a small state, they were overlooked. For the record, after watching a ton of South Dakota football during his Junior and Senior years, there were other guys who were capable of making an impact at the FBS level from South Dakota in the class of 2013.

Kids from small states are overlooked by Rivals, Scout, 247, ESPN, etc. There is top level talent that simply hasn't been scouted in some of the smaller states. Matthew was extremely lucky to end up at a school like Iowa, where he very quickly proved he was overlooked. Hopefully someone gives this kid the same chance.
