once a blue-chip QB prospect, his Nevada story was all about opportunity, not production
In the 2017 season at Nevada, David Cornwell logged limited action and finished with 13 completions on 25 attempts for 97 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions, so the stat line never matched the recruiting hype.[3][11] What made him notable was the profile: a 6-5 pocket quarterback with major-program pedigree from Alabama, plus the raw arm talent and size that once made him a high-end national recruit.[4][8] The catch? His only FBS start-level look showed decision-making issues and he left the Wolf Pack shortly after, so he reads more like a high-upside reclamation project than a plug-and-play answer.[8][13]
