Or, nowadays, because they are offered more money at a smaller school. For instance, Volson was a two star recruit and only received offers from Wyoming, NDSU and North Dakota. He simply wasn't good enough to go to a bigger school.
The difference comes in with your second sentence. Of course, big school players bust out every year. However, they translate much better to the NFL than small school players do.
That's not always the case. In fact, I'd say that a fair amount of the small school guys end up there because they didn't meet the height/weight/speed requirements of the bigger programs. Granted, a lot of them never end up getting big enough, strong enough or fast enough to play in the NFL, but there are several guys that end up in small schools because they didn't meet the recruiting "profile"
