Ah, I see. The pied piper thing.
Generally happens with top flight QBs.  Jeyru Campbell was that for MSU in 2015.  Then he bodyslammed a security guard at his HS, got his offer pulled, went to jail, and the guys who were supposed to follow him, backed off.

That was the first class that was fully recruited off the back of the Rose Bowl season, and while it still wound up #23 in the rankings.  You wonder what could have been if he had stuck.  Brian Lewerke was a damn good Plan B QB, but Brian Cole (UM), Mike Weber (OSU) and Josh Alabi (OSU), were the three in state guys that were likely following Campbell to MSU.  Granted Cole turned out to be a bust.  Plus, Campbell, on the field, went JUCO, won a national title, transferred to D2 Ferris State, won another national title, and the D2 Heisman Trophy

2 things:
First, a fact......MOST (more than half) 5* QBs transfer from the first school they attend
Second, a question......Only four 5* QB recruits have won an NFL playoff game this century.  Name them. DON'T LOOK IT UP AND POST

Tebow
Stafford
Luck
Sanchez

And I assume you mean they were both recruits and won a game this century. So that eliminates Manning

Don't think so.  I think he played in one at Tennessee, and lost it.

He did play in a couple of Pro Bowls.

Nebraska football added another offensive weapon to its 2023 recruiting class on Saturday, picking up a commitment from 2023 Cedar Grove (Ga.) athlete Barry Jackson.

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound wide receiver picked the Huskers after making trips to Mississippi State, and picking up offers from Duke, Memphis, Kansas, Pitt, UCF, Louisville and others.


A standout on the track and on the football field, Jackson caught 28 passes for 510 yards and seven touchdowns. Those numbers helped Cedar Grove capture its fourth state title in five years. In addition to his work at wide receiver, Jackson also returned kickoffs.

Jackson was part of a large contingent of prospects who visited Nebraska from Georgia for the Huskers’ Red-White game in April, then returned to Lincoln for an official visit in the first weekend of June.


Jackson is the second wide receiver commitment in Nebraska's 2023, joining Kansas City-area wide receiver Jaidyn Doss. Jackson was one of several wide receivers to visit Nebraska on the same weekend in June. Other targets who visited that weekend include Lincoln East's Malachi Coleman and Louisiana wide receiver Omarion Miller. The 247Sports Crystal Ball currently favors Nebraska to end up with both Coleman and Miller in the 2023 class.

Jackson is Nebraska’s 11th commitment in the 2023 recruiting class and is a three-star wide receiver with an overall rating of 86 according to 247Sports. Jackson's commitment moved Nebraska's recruiting class up to No. 36 in the 247Sports team rankings.

3* OT Joe Crocker from Nashville was set to decide between MSU, UW and Mississippi State; but apparently the OT UW just took, took his spot.  So it's down to just the two MSUs now

I suspect it is rare for a player to be down to those two specific options.
