'He declined offers from Arkansas, Baylor, Michigan, Missouri and a host of other teams to sign with Texas.'

ESPN evaluation ($):

"Overstreet is a very productive dual threat quarterback, capable of beating defenses with his arm and feet. Has the size and athleticism for the quarterback position at the major level of competition. We feel he has sufficient arm strength to make all the throws but will need to improve his footwork and deliver technique. Operates from under the center and the shotgun set; can play with his back to the line of scrimmage, showing clever ball handling skills. Sets his feet quickly whether off of play action or when dropping back; sets the ball well and stands tall with his eyes downfield. Doesn't rattle under pressure and will take a hit if necessary to make a good completion. Displays a compact throwing motion; gets the ball out quickly but will need to elevate his delivery; too much sidearm; at times he relies too much on his arm and doesn't step into throw. Puts good zip on short/medium throws, demonstrating the ability to hit receivers on time and in stride; needs to develop deep ball touch; does a good job squaring his shoulders when throwing on the move. This guy is a tough customer; makes good decisions with zone/read play and is very effective running inside or off the edge; displays a tough over the pads slashing style capable of gaining inside yardage. His foot quickness and short burst allow him to break out of the pack, resulting in big gainers. Although Overstreet may need some time and perhaps a red shirt year to polish his skills, once accomplished, we see good upside as his career unfolds. He is phsyically gifted and more than capable of moving to safety or wide receiver if he does not pan out as a QB."

I think Overstreet has all the tools/talent to be a quality safety or OLB long term - should he move to another position eventually.
