An interesting little bit of history.  I believe the sequence is correct.

Baytown Lee High School in Baytown, TX had the following QB's in succession:

Clint Sturner - Started for four years.  When to Arkansas and helped turn the program around, then went to play for the Cowboys.  His coach was Drew Tate's dad.

El Roberson - Started the next four years.  Went to K St. and helped them win their first ever conference championship.  Got drafted.  Drew Tate's dad was his coach.

Drew Tate - Started the next four years.  Went to Iowa.  Threw the last second winning touchdown pass in this years bowl game.  He'll probably go to the pros.  His dad was his HS coach.

Slocum offered Drew's dad an assistant position if Drew would come to college station but when Solcum was fired Drew went to Iowa.  I think we tend to underestimate the impact of truly excellent coaching.
