A quick glance at the 2017 quarterback rankings tells a lot about how important Tate Martell's Tuesday-afternoon tweet really is.
Of the nation's top 15 dual-threat quarterbacks in the 2017 class, only four are uncommitted. Martell, the 5-star athlete from revered Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, leads that dual-threat quarterback list. Of the top 20 pro-style quarterbacks in the class, only one is uncommitted—4-star Jack Sears.
In short, supply and demand is not in the favor of colleges in need of an elite quarterback commit. Martell, a one-time Texas A&M commit, is considered among the cream of the crop.
