Danny W was in an option offense in HS, as hard as that is to believe, and certainly didnt have the greatest passing numbers which would lead us to believe he was a future All American. He was however a state champion with those leadership characteristics. It did take him a while to adapt to Spurrier's offense.
Wuerffel did run some wishbone, and was a good HS runner (winning the state title on a 77 yard run against St. Thomas Aquinas), but this isn't right.
100 years of Florida high school football: The 100 greatest players
Danny Wuerffel QB Fort Walton Beach 1991
Led 1991 Vikings to a state championship win at Florida Field, finishing season 14-0 with 3,055 yards, 27 TDs and just 4 INTs.
Also, while this state line simply seems mistaken based on the other comments, read what the STA coach had to say about him:
AAAA TITLE GOES TO FORT WALTON
"But Fort Walton Beach had Wuerffel, who completed 11 of 22 passes for 35 yards." The 35 yards has to be a mistake for that statement and the rest of the story's right up:
He opened and closed Fort Walton Beach's parade of touchdowns with option runs of 77 and 15 yards. In between he found Ernie Green for 42 and 24 yards and Scott Holz for 58 yards.
"There are some great quarterbacks in Florida this year, Fort Walton Coach Jimmy Ray Stephens said, "but Danny Wuerffel is a pure quarterback. We run a smorgasbord offense, one-third Wing-T, one-third Run-and-Shoot and one-third Veer. And he checks off or calls half the plays. I feel lucky to have coached a player like him."
St. Thomas coach George Smith saluted Wuerffel, who directed a 431-yard offensive performance against a defense that has allowed 122 yards per game.
"He's the best quarterback my teams have faced in the 17 years I've been coaching," Smith said. "He is really poised back there. Our guys were getting within a second of dropping him, but he always got the ball away."
TLDR - Donk is wrong again.
Also, did SOS hire Jimmy Ray Stephens to get Wuerffel? Who said he didn't care about recruiting?
