From Varsity Blues...

Movie character: QB Jonathan Moxon (James Van Der Beek): Moxon cared so much more about academics than athletics that he was shown reading a book on the sideline. He became the starting quarterback at West Canaan (Texas) High after replacing injured Florida State recruit Lance Harbor. He never played football again after the end of the season.
Real-life counterpart: QB Matt Flynn, LSU: Flynn played high school football in Texas and led LSU to the Peach Bowl title after an injury to highly regarded starting quarterback JaMarcus Russell. Flynn, a communications studies major, made the Southeastern Conference's fall academic honor roll.

From Blue Chips...

Movie character: C Neon Bodeaux (Shaquille O'Neal): This extremely raw, large and athletic center from rural Louisiana made an instant impact at Western University.
Real-life counterpart: C Glen Davis, LSU: He has the same type of physique as Bodeaux and plays for Shaq's alma mater. That makes Davis the obvious choice here.
