Saying a guy isn't cut out for a big program when he is a senior in high school isn't accurate. Some guys need time to physically mature.
They aren't good enough athletes to go to the bigger schools. Every college player needs to physically mature, but it is a sliding scale. Can they potentially develop into a good enough athlete to get on at a bigger school? Sure. Are they good enough to play? Probably not, but it depends on the school. Are they going from Colgate to Ball St.? Okay, fine. Sure, Ball St. is an FBS program. They can probably get some playing time there. They're going from Colgate to Georgia? Probably not happening. You'll be on the team, but it is unlikely that they will start.
Some of them of course are able to, but these are rare scenarios. There is a reason that there aren't many FCS players who make it to the NFL. Even still, there is a reason why there is so few FCS players who are actually good in the NFL.
They aren't good enough. School size does matter, but it isn't the end all, be all.
