Tristan Gebbia

I thought Frost played safety at Stanford.  When did Walsh have him compete for the starting QB job.  Freshman year?

I could totally see Gebbia leaving if we asked him to move to safety.

He played his first two seasons at QB; Walsh talked to him about moving to Safety and that's what helped to prompt him to "give up on his teammates" and transfer to Nebraska. 

 
I figured I was wrong.  Because I don't/didn't follow other teams.  Especially back in the 90s, when they had several games on each Saturday rather then starting Thursday on multiple channels.  Frost even left his older brother at Standford.  So he skipped out on Family too.

Any I idea where Gebbia is headed?  Like I mentioned much earlier, he's got a tight window to find the right team to fit his skillset that also needs a QB now.  A place that doesn't have good QB prospects already in their system.  Because if he could beat out a Freshman here, he might have difficulty beating out other 3-4* QBs that have been in someone else's system for a while.

Wyoming lost a good QB recently.

The only thing I'll say is he was beat out by a player with a different skillset more suited to the offense being ran. If Mike Leach was the coach Gebbia probably beats Martinez out.

He was terrible at Stanford

he played safety his first two years there because stanford had steve stenstrom at qb. yes he got snaps at qb but the majority of his playing time was on the defensive side of the ball.

walsh also was replaced by willingham in 1995 which was part of why he left stanford. the coach he went to play for was no longer there.

At this point in the academic year, he might be forced to attend a college on the quarterly academic calendar.  Luckily for Gebbia, that gives him a number of choices back near his home in California.  From the list I am linking below, this includes:  UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, as well as Northwestern.

InOmaha wasn't wrong, Frost played a lot of safety at Stanford.  Frost also appeared in a few games at QB.  It's just easier for that website to show his stats from QB.

Edited my original post, i stand corrected. 2 completely different scenarios so we really shouldn't compare but maybe the lesson is....every situation is different!
