Here is the best part, Coaches can see a guy like Kiser (1a) and Bowen (2a) and look past classification of the player and vote accordingly to the players skills/stats, etc vs being disqualified because they played at a smaller school.
I believe this because perhaps a fact that many may not remember considering it was almost 20 years now, but back in 2005, RCHS had a QB who finished 3rd in Mr. Football voting. We lost a heartbreaker in OT in 2a Regional to Jimtown. Coaches knew how talented he was, I contend if we could of got that Regional win and finished it off by beating North Posey like Jimtown did in 2005 2a State Finals, other coaches would of seen Jake Kiger put on the show in front of the entire state and maybe garnered more votes. alas, we shall never know
I believe that is how Daniel Wodika won at West Lafayette, dude was UNREAL, then he put on a show at 3a State Finals for WL and boom, Mr. Football
