Getting To Know Jashon Cornell

August 15, 2014 by 1 Comment

If you’re an Ohio State fan and follow Football recruiting, you are familiar with 4-star Weakside Defensive End Jashon Cornell. Jashon Cornell was part of a huge package deal with close friend 5-star Outside Linebacker Justin Hilliard. July 2nd may go down as the most historic recruiting day that wasn’t a National Signing Day in Ohio State football history. Jashon is from Saint Paul, MN and chose the Buckeyes over almost every top program in the nation at the time.

Jashon was asked to elaborate on his friendship with Justin Hilliard and why they became a package. Jashon responded with “My relationship with Justin is great. I feel like we’re already brothers and we just have a bond that other recruits lack with one another. We always had a plan to play with each other in college ever since our sophomore years in high school.” Hopefully this close bond between one another will lead to great communication on the field as well.

Recent news broke about Jashon signing his financial papers to enroll early. Jashon talked about his feeling after signing those papers by saying “It feels great to know that I’m one of the first 2015 Buckeye commits to sign an enroll paper and I feel one step ahead of the game now.” Buckeye fans should be very ecstatic to see Cornell sign his early enroll papers as he will be on campus in January leading to him being one step ahead of the game on the field also.

Jashon was also at ‘Friday Night Lights’ a couple week backs helping recruit two of the targets in Quarterback Torrance Gibson and Wide Receiver Lawrence Cager. When asked how the atmosphere was in the Shoe for his second visit, Jashon shared “The atmosphere was unbelievable for how many people showed up for a football camp. I loved the Shoe and I can’t wait to get down there for the Virginia Tech game.” I think Buckeye nation would agree that we also can’t wait for Jashon to visit for the night game in the Shoe.

I finished the interview off by asking Jashon what his goals were for his final high school season and Jashon had some very steep goals that he has narrowed his focus on. “Break the Minnesota state sack record, 1st team all-state, 1st team all-district, 1st team all-conference, Mr. Football award, state championship and to be better than I was the past two seasons while leaving everything out on the field.” You’ve got to love the competitor in Jashon Cornell who wants to be the best of the best. Clearly there’s a reason Urban Meyer wanted Cornell and it’s because he wants nothing but excellence. That excellence is coming to Columbus in January.

Scanning the ’16 QB Horizon

August 15, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Many believe Urban Meyer needs to land a complete QB in the 2016 cycle. Well, Urban Meyer may be listening as Ohio State is in on many of the top signal callers in the 2016 class. Those names include 5-star Malik Henry, 4-star Dwayne Haskins, 4-star Jawon Pass, and 4-star Jarrett Guarantano. Buckeye fans would love to see Ohio State take two of these top quarterbacks, but it seems Urban Meyer and Co. are set on taking only one quarterback in the 2016 cycle with them maybe taking two in 2015 if Torrance Gibson decides to join the fold on October 20th. With Ohio State in on all these top prospects, who is the best bet to be the quarterback in the 2016 class and what are the strengths of each prospect?

downloadLet’s start with the highest rated prospect on the board and that is 5-star Malik Henry. Malik Henry is the number 1 rated pro-style quarterback in the country. Malik recently released a final four of schools and the Buckeyes were thankful to remain in the thick of the race for his services. Malik’s final four included Notre Dame, UCLA, Florida State, and Ohio State. It’s been reported that Malik Henry has family ties in Ohio, which does help Ohio State’s chances in this race. Currently the crystal ball has Henry going to Florida State at 70%, but that could change very quickly as it seems more of a guess right now. Henry went to the summer camps of 3 of his leaders with those being Ohio State (6/19), Notre Dame (6/20), and Florida State (7/16). It looks as though Henry has planned to visit Notre Dame for their primetime game against TTUN on September 6th.

Henry has pinpoint accuracy with a nice touch on the ball as well. He does a great job of reading the defensive secondary and finding the open receivers down the field. There’s a reason he is regarded so high on the field and you can see that by just watching his highlight tape. Malik would be a nice pick-up if he were to choose the Buckeyes, but he is going to be a tough pull at the end of the day with fighting against 3 other top programs for his services.

download (1)Next is 4-star Jawon Pass, who hails from Columbus, well Columbus, GA. Jawon is rated as the number two dual-threat quarterback in the nation for 2016. He said a few months ago that Ohio State and Notre Dame were his two leaders. Jawon also attended Ohio State’s QB camp (6/19) and the camp must have gone well for the talented star to name Ohio State as a co-leader at the time. Before naming Ohio State and Notre Dame his leaders, Jawon had Mississippi State as his leader, but it is another program leading the crystal ball at 64% in Auburn. Most experts feel at the end of the day, Pass will be a tough pull from the south and will ultimately choose an SEC school. However, there is a possibility that Pass heads north, but in this case, I would like Notre Dame’s chances of landing the touted prospect.

Analyzing Pass on the field, one will quickly realize why he is rated as one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation. Pass has a very strong arm to go along with his incredible mobility. His mobility allows him to break down the defense which results in easy throws to wide open receivers. The way Pass plays is perfect for the offense that Urban Meyer and Offensive Coordinator Tom Herman currently have installed up at Ohio State. There is no doubt that a commitment from Pass would be a great one, but I still feel it’s highly unlikely.

download (3)What about Dwayne Haskins you ask. Well, Haskins is considered to be a heavy Ohio State lean as he has stated numerous times that Ohio State was his childhood favorite and an offer that he coveted. Haskins grew up watching Buckeyes Quarterback Troy Smith and he instantly fell in love with the Buckeyes when he visited as a child. Dwayne resides from Potomac, MD and is ranked as the number five pro-style quarterback in the nation. Currently, it seems as Ohio State’s only competition for Haskins is local Maryland and out-of-state Florida State, but that may change as Texas A&M recently offered him. Haskins was last on campus on June 14th, but tweeted during ‘Friday Night Lights’ that he wishes he could have made it up. The crystal ball currently reads 100% for the Buckeyes with 19 analysts’ predictions in.

Looking at Haskin’s tape, he has great presence in the pocket, while also supplying great loft on the ball in his deliveries. He has the mobility to get out of the pocket when need be and he does a great job with his accuracy to get the ball to his receiver in a tight window. Haskins would be a great get for the Buckeyes in 2016 and plans to announce his decision after his junior season, but with that announcement date, Ohio State might already have its 2016 signal caller if they take a commitment from Jarrett Guarantano.

download (2)Jarrett Guarantano is from Oradell, NJ and rated as the number seven pro-style quarterback in 2016. Jarrett also recently released a final four with those schools being Oklahoma, Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State. Reports came out that Jarrett had Ohio State in the driver’s seat with the other 3 just a few steps behind. His offers from both Alabama and Oklahoma were pretty recent as he received them at the end of July. Guarantano visited Ohio State for a camp on June 21st and looked good at the camp from what I’ve been told. The crystal ball currently has the Buckeyes as the leader with 73% and Oklahoma with the other votes.

If you look at Jarrett’s tape, you’ll see Jarrett likes to stand in the pocket very tall and deliver balls with great loft to his receivers. Jarrett isn’t afraid to try and fit the ball in a tight window and he also shows sudden bursts of mobility even though he likes to pass first before he decides to take off. Guarantano reminds me more of the Alex Smith type of quarterback the Urban had at Utah and I feel Ohio State would adjust their offense a little to play to his strengths.

Long story short, if Jarrett Guarantano decides before the end of his junior season, Dwayne Haskins sticks with a decision timetable of after his junior year, and the Buckeyes are willing to take Jarrett’s commitment with other top prospects still on the board, then Jarrett Guarantano may be your quarterback for the 2016 cycle. With all the possibilities that Ohio State is in on at quarterback for 2016, one thing is certain and that is Urban Meyer will land a strongly touted quarterback for the Buckeyes future in the 2016 cycle.

Andrew: Anything else you want people to know?

Isiah: Any team we play I’m going to be all over the field. My team has one mind set and one goal. And that’s the State Title without a question.

Getting To Know Marcus Williamson

August 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Marcus Williamson is a 4-star cornerback from local Westerville South High School. Marcus is a 2017 prospect and recently sat down with me to discuss his recruitment that has just recently started to take off. Currently Marcus only owns an offer from the University of Toledo, but that could change very soon. When asked who has been in contact with him, Marcus responded “Mostly Ohio State, but I am also hearing some from Michigan State and Indiana.”
Marcus recently took in campus when he visited for Ohio State’s ‘Friday Night Lights’. When asked how he thought he performed and what stood out, Marcus said “ I performed pretty well, had a pick, a few knockdowns and the camp was overall good because Ohio State did a good job of showing the recruits what it is like to play at Ohio State. I think that in its self would influence anyone to want to play there.”

When asked what an offer would mean from Ohio State and if he could possible commit on the spot, Marcus responded “It would mean a lot. Me living in Columbus would pay a huge part in to me possibly committing on the spot.” Marcus said that he talks to Coach [Kerry] Coombs about once a week and he plans on visiting Ohio State during the Virginia Tech game.

Marcus was just recently named a composite 4-star by 247sports and when probed on what it meant to him, Marcus said “It feels so great that people think so highly of me on the field. It is an honor to be noticed and to have 4-stars by my name. It speaks volumes about the hard work that I’ve put in over the years.”

Obviously the local product, Marcus Williamson, is very interested in the Buckeyes and the interest must be mutual as Ohio State has recently been in touch. Landing a 4-star local product would be nice for the Buckeyes and you have to like their chances with the quotes Marcus gave me. Marcus Williamson is a name that may just be starting to get some publicity, but there is no doubt that the name and the football player is here to stay. When asked what he would like to say to Buckeye fans everywhere, Marcus responded with a short and sweet, “Go Bucks!”

Catching up with 2017 star, Bruce Judson

August 13, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Bruce Judson is a name that many Buckeye fans are becoming familiar with recently and may hear quite often in the near future. Bruce is a dual-threat quarterback at Cocoa High School in Cocoa, Florida. That high school may sound familiar, as it is the high school that, 2015 commit, Jamel Dean also attends. Bruce joined me to discuss his recruiting a little bit and how the Buckeyes fair.

BtgUYqCIgAAkrNQ

JT- You were recently named the 16th best recruit in the country for 2017 by 247sports. How does that feel?

Bruce- I feel alright about it but I’m not go stop grinding till I get that top 5 spot or #1

JT- Who currently are your top schools?

Bruce- Ohio State, Florida, Clemson, Kentucky, and Miami

JT- How would you describe your recent visit to Ohio State for ‘Friday Night Lights’?

Bruce- It was great! I will be heading back up there!

JT- Do you have a time frame on when you think you’ll make it back up?

Bruce- November 29th.

JT- Do you have an idea of when you may be making a decision?

Bruce- I don’t know yet. Hopefully the first week of the football season or 2nd week.

JT- Do you have a position you prefer to play in college?

Bruce- No sir, I’m and athlete. Put me wherever they need me.

JT- Do you have anything to say to the Buckeye fans? Any final thoughts?

Bruce- See you guys soon! #Buckeyenation #GoBucks

As you can see, Bruce may be deciding quite soon if he does indeed decide the first or second week of the season. And you’ve got to like Ohio State’s chances with Ohio State being in the Top 5 and he also having a return trip scheduled on November 29th (“The Game”). Also fans should appreciate a humble kid that is willing to play anywhere that the coaches see him fit to help his team out. Buckeye fans, Bruce says “see you soon” and hopefully we will see him in the future donning the Scarlet and Gray.

Top 3 Recruits Ohio State Needs To Land (Guest Post)

August 8, 2014 by Leave a Comment

We here at MotSaG are interviewing several potential writers and have each of them to write about a different topic and will present them to our readers so they may give some feedback. Please leave some comments for the guys and show some support. Thanks

This post is is brought to you by JT Perry and you can find him on Twitter at @Reppin614.

I was recently posed a very simple, yet very complex question. “Who are the three most important recruits for Urban Meyer to land in the 2015 Recruiting class who are uncommitted right now?” When first asked this, several names crossed my mind, but many of these names were quickly crossed off the board looking at the depth and the skill sets that Urban Meyer has acquired in previous classes. After a while of narrowing down my focus to the most important recruits for the 2015 class, I came up with three names that pack a powerful punch. Those prospects are: DE Josh Sweat, OT Drew Richmond, and RB Damien Harris.

Josh Sweat

Josh Sweat from Chesapeake, VA has crazy athletic ability and potential for a high school recruit. Many experts compare Sweat to fellow Defensive End, Jadeveon Clowney, who may be the most athletic football player that many have seen in a long time. If Josh Sweat turns into anything like Clowney, then it is very easy to see why Sweat is the top prospect Urban needs to land in 2015. Clowney was of course the number 1 pick in this year’s draft and Sweat may see his name called this early 3 years from now, especially under Larry Johnson Sr. (Ohio State’s Defensive Line Coach). Larry Johnson is one of the big reasons that Ohio State is a finalist and will receive an official visit, along with Virginia Tech, Florida State, Oregon, and Georgia. Many see Virginia Tech as a favorite to land Sweat’s services, but Tech hasn’t had much success in keeping talent in state and Sweat is too quiet of a kid to get a read of where he may be leaning, but he remains a huge need in this class.

Drew Richmond

How many of you want to see another Orlando Pace at Ohio State? Well, if Drew Richmond from Memphis, TN, were to choose Ohio State, then you may very well get your wish. Drew Richmond has stated that he grew up an Ohio State fan and reiterated his interest in the Buckeyes by attending Ohio State’s ‘Friday Night Lights’ last week. Envisioning an elite Offensive Tackle with the skill set that Richmond has with the superior coaching of Offensive Line Coach Ed Warinner spells a combination which has the potential to produce Pace 2.0. Richmond has also expressed that he looks up to Orlando Pace and even tries to mold his game after his. This is why Drew Richmond becomes the second most important recruit that Ohio State needs in this class. I mean who wouldn’t want another possible Orlando Pace? So, how hard will it be for Ohio State to land this talented prospect? Quite hard considering the Buckeyes are competing against programs such as Alabama and home team, Tennessee. Even counting this, I would not bet against Urban Meyer on this one, as this recruitment reminds me of a fellow offensive lineman’s recruitment in Demetrius Knox, last year.

Damien Harris

Why is RB Damien Harris such a need in 2015, with promising backs like Ezekiel Elliott and Curtis Samuel already in the fold at Ohio State now? Well, Damien Harris brings a total different game than fellow running backs, Elliott and Samuel. Harris reminds me more of the game that El Guapo (Carlos Hyde) brought to the Buckeyes last season. Harris has the speed with the best of them, while also supplying some explosive power and anger that he runs with. I can see Harris adding some weight once he gets with Coach Mick (Ohio State’s Strength and Conditioning Coach), and looking more like El Guapo. Right now, Damien is a little smaller than Hyde, as he sits at 5’11, 205 lbs. I feel that Elliott and Samuel both lack the natural build to ever be what Hyde was, even though both backs will most likely pay huge dividends at Ohio State. So, why is Damien Harris so important? We haven’t seen our offense without Hyde since early last season and when Hyde came back, he added a new component to our offense. The question becomes will Ohio State struggle with this component now gone? If so, Damien Harris could come in in 2015 and fill that void as a true freshman. How good of a chance does Urban have with Harris? I’ll stick with a fair to good chance. Harris is from Berea, KY and has us in his recently released final 5, along with Kentucky, Alabama, Texas A&M, and Florida. Kentucky is seen as the biggest threat as Stoops has been able to pull in some top names in the last couple classes. That combined with Damien feeling the hometown superstar pressure has Kentucky sitting in good shape as well. Harris’s relationship with Ohio State commits, Justin Hilliard and Jashon Cornell, along with relationship with Urban Meyer is why I believe he will eventually join the 2015 Recruiting Class when he decides on December 13th. Let’s not forget that Harris grew up a Michigan fan and was once committed to them, who are now eliminated from consideration. That makes this recruitment and potential win, that much sweeter.

At the end of the day, if Urban can land any of these prospects in the 2015 recruiting class, he will be getting a game changer and potential, future all-American. All three of these prospects have the potential to be a factor in their first year along with their entire tenure at Ohio State. If Urban were to somehow land all three, well buckeye fans, get ready for a very intriguing 3-4 years that could see many national titles appearances and wins, if they all pan out to reaching their full potential. Not that we don’t already expect national title appearance and wins, but any three of these guys would put Urban Meyer and our Ohio State Buckeyes over the top. All three may just be a pipe dream, but a dream I’m willing to live in.

Lucky Number 13 is….

July 25, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Well as we told you all week there would be some real excitement at Friday Night Lights the annual recruiting camp put on by OSU to showcase everything OSU has to offer. There has never been an actual commitment at this event in its history but that all ended tonight when Olathe, Kansas 3 star TE Josh Moore committed to play for the Buckeyes in 2015.

Josh Moore is a 6’5″ 250 lbs Tight End who brings a lot of athleticism to the position and fills a real hole for OSU. After missing on many of the TEs they coveted this year Josh took his time and waited for this event to showcase to the staff what he can bring. He may not be the only TE to commit from this event as CJ Conrad the UK commit is still there working out and trying to earn his offer.

Darnay Holmes is one of the best for 2017

July 24, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Follow me: @Mike_Rockstedt

Darnay Holmes is already beginning to get the attention of some of the top programs across the country.  Holmes, a 5-11 Athlete, from Newbury Park, California, holds offers from some of the top programs in the nation.  His offers include, Arizona, California, Clemson, Tennessee, Louisville, and Ohio State.  Holmes has always been an Ohio State fan and some of his favorite players growing up were Terrelle Pryor and Ted Ginn Jr.  Holmes explains why he has such a strong interest in Ohio State and even credits his favorite players for that.

Holmes always was a fan of Ohio State

“I was always an Ohio State fan, but I really loved Ted Ginn and Terrelle Pryor,” Holmes said of why he loves Ohio State. “They were two of my favorite players in football.  I love that Ohio State is always in the national title contention and always competing for big bowl games.  I also really like Coach Coombs.  He puts a lot of players in the NFL, especially Bradley Roby.  I like coach Coombs a lot. ”

Holmes and coach Coombs have begun to build a strong relationship.  He respects Coombs a lot and was very excited to meet him and all the other coaches on his visit in April.  “I got to check out a practice and some of the facilities,” Holmes said of his visit.  ” The facilities and practices were really neat.  The coaches and athletes at Ohio State have such a good relationship.  They all compete with each other, but they love each other also.  The visit was really cool.”  Holmes said the best part of the trip was just being around the relationship the coaches and players have.

Darnay Holmes was also a part of the Freshman All American team for MaxPreps.com, for the 2013 season, an award he said he was very honored by.  As for where he wants to play college football, he knows he does not have to travel very far if he wants to play for some of the best programs in the country as USC and UCLA are in his own backyard. But he told me that he is going to go wherever he feels is the best fit for him.  He understands that Ohio State is a hike, but if they are the best fit, then that is where he is going to go.  When he is not training for football, he likes to be with friends and family, and just be a normal teenager.  He enjoys the attention he is getting but at the same time, he wants to be a regular person, just like his friends.  I asked Holmes what he would like to say to Buckeyenation, he responded with, “Go Bucks! O-H!”  Darnay is one of the best players in the nation for his class and is going to be very successful.

Trevon Grimes Hopes to Earn Offer at FNL

July 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Follow: @Mike_Rockstedt

St. Thomas Aquinas is one of the best high schools for high school football in the country.  Year in and year out, they produce top teams, while also sending players to Division I programs all across the country.  Ohio State has dipped into the talent at St. Thomas Aquinas, most recently with Joey Bosa.  Class of 2017 star  Trevon Grimes hopes to be the next great player from the school to translate his game to the next level.  Grimes, a 6-3 wide receiver, is only a rising sophomore but already holds offers from some of the top programs nationally.  He has offers from Tennessee, Auburn, Clemson, South Carolina, LSU, UCF, and Syracuse.  While he holds those offers, one offer he really wants is from Ohio State.

Trevon Grimes Really Wants an offer from Ohio State

“I grew up watching them,” Grimes said of why he has a strong interest in Ohio State.  “I have family in Cincinnati and now If I have an opportunity to go there, I really would like to.  If they were to offer me, they would probably be my leader.”

Grimes has not been to Ohio State, but he is going to Columbus this weekend with his team to compete at Friday Night Lights.  He is very excited to compete and prove to the coaches that he deserves an offer.  He is also hoping to check out some of the things that Ohio State and the coaches, have to offer.  “I cannot wait to get to Columbus and check everything out,” Grimes said of his upcoming visit.  “I am also excited to get some advice from the coaches, and get better at the game.”  This is a perfect chance for him to show his skills on the football field in front of Urban Meyer and staff.  If Grimes performs well enough at the camp, I think he could earn an offer.

There are many players on the team that are going through the same recruiting process right now as Grimes and it definitely helps him with his process.  He told me that some of the older guys have given him some good advice for both the process and football in general.  Sam Bruce, who recently committed to Miami (FL), has given him the best advice telling him, “Stay humble, and never be satisfied.”  This is making the process for Grimes a lot easier by having such good role models.  Trevon enjoys working out for football and getting ready for the season.  He and his team are focused on a state championship this upcoming season and he should to be a huge impact on the talented team.  I asked Grimes what he would like to say to Buckeye fans and he told me, “I am glad to be apart of the legacy ! And hope to gain many more Buckeye fans! Go BUCKEYES !”  He is very excited for Friday Night Lights and I think he could earn an offer.  They are going to be the leader if they offer him.
