Several stories like this!  Here is blurb from Brett Favre's wiki page (the most reliable source of information there is ;)):
 
After high school, [URL='http://syracusefan.com/wiki/The_University_of_Southern_Mississippi'][U][COLOR=#0066cc]Southern Mississippi[/COLOR][/U][/URL] offered Favre a scholarship (the only one he received). Southern Miss wanted him to play [URL='http://syracusefan.com/wiki/Defensive_back'][U][COLOR=#0066cc]defensive back[/COLOR][/U][/URL], but Favre wanted to play quarterback instead. Favre began his freshman year as the seventh-string quarterback and took over the starting position in the [URL='http://syracusefan.com/wiki/1987_NCAA_Division_I-A_football_season'][U][COLOR=#0066cc]second half of the third game of the year[/COLOR][/U][/URL] against [URL='http://syracusefan.com/wiki/Tulane_Green_Wave_football'][U][COLOR=#0066cc]Tulane[/COLOR][/U][/URL] on September 19, 1987. Favre, despite suffering a hangover from the night before and vomiting during warm-ups, led the Golden Eagles to a come-from-behind victory with two touchdown passes.[URL='http://syracusefan.com/#cite_note-college-15'][U][COLOR=#0066cc][15][/COLOR][/U][/URL] Favre started ten games during his freshman year and won six of them.
 
Also keep in mind that Aaron Rodgers had no scholarship offers out of high school.  You just never know!
