Catching up with Jerome Baker

Jerome Baker is an outside linebacker, ATH coming out of the 2015 class. Per ESPN, he is ranked 66th in his class and the second best player coming out of Ohio. Jerome has many offers from all over the country. He can play anywhere on the field such as running back and outside linebacker. He would be a great contribution to the 2015 class.

Being one of the best players out of Ohio. This would be a great commitment for the Buckeyes. Below is an interview I did with Jerome a couple days ago.

  1. I was honestly surprised to not here him say PSU was one of the schools recruiting him the hardest. I have heard he is a lifelong PSU fan and with all the buzz about Franklin and PSU right now I assumed they would be going hard at Jerome.

    I was starting to doubt OSUs chances of landing Jerome but after this interview I feel much better about our chances. It is a long time until February and hopefully OSU lands Jerome because his versatility is something Urban loves and seeks.
