Story is one of a handful of recruits from Florida I really like that I think OSU has a legit chance at...right now the guys at the top of that list that OSU at least has a shot at are Cash, Gorman, Lyons and Story.

Strong work ethic drives WR prospect
By Gerry Hamilton
ESPN Recruiting

BROOKSVILLE, Fla. -- Nature Coast Technical High has never been a must-stop for college football recruiters. Not until this year, that is.

JaJuan Story is a physically gifted wideout.

Receiver Ja'Juan Story is quickly becoming one of the most heavily recruited juniors in the country.

The 6-foot-3, 192-pounder has ideal measurables and his skill set -- including a 4.5 40-yard dash time -- is just as impressive.

Story is very good at high-pointing the ball, timing his routes, running in the open field and releasing against press coverage. However, his top skill is his work ethic off the field, according to Rudy Story, his uncle and legal guardian and a Nature Coast Technical assistant coach.

"As a player, he's an excellent student of the game," said Rudy Story, who played outside linebacker at the University of Minnesota. "He loves to watch film. His work ethic is pretty good, and I think those are his two biggest strengths. I tell him everywhere you go, people are going to have talent, but it's whoever works the hardest, and he seems to be buying into that. As long as he keeps buying into that, I'm pretty happy. Academically, he's realizing that he has to have that same effort in the classroom that he does on the football field."

Story played somewhat of a jack-of-all-trades role for the Sharks as a junior, catching 13 passes for 423 yards and rushing for 265 yards on 27 carries mostly from the Wildcat position. On defense, he had more than 20 tackles at safety.

"My strengths are my attitude, my hard work and my willingness to do what coaches tell me to," Story said. "I'm coachable."

His immense talent, combined with his love for the game, has resulted in offers from around the country.

"Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Kentucky, Iowa State, FSU, USF, Rutgers, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio State, North Carolina, Marshall, FIU, Louisville, Michigan and Georgia Tech have offered me," Story said. "Texas Tech, Florida and Penn State are talking to me."

Nature Coast WR Ja'Juan Story picks up Miami offer
Posted on Monday, April 12, 2010

Make it scholarship offer No. 20 for Nature Coast WR Ja'Juan Story.

The Sharks' rising senior received an offer in the mail from Miami on Monday, he said. Story has offers from Florida State, USF, UCF, Florida International and various out-of-state schools. He also has a standing offer to make a visit to Florida, which he said he intends to take.

"It was expected," Nature Coast assistant Robert Kazmier said of the Hurricanes' offer. "They asked for film. They must have sent it last week because it was at school when he got there."

Story said he has no front-runner concerning his college recruitment and intends to visit several schools before deciding on any kind of pecking order. In terms of a final decision, Story said he's wide open.

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound junior primarly played receiver and defensive back in 2009, also sharing time at quarterback. He had 13 receptions for 423 yards (32.5 yards per catch) and three touchdowns. At quarterback, he had 27 carries for 265 yards and two touchdowns (just two starts as a quarterback). Defensively he had 22 tackles and one sack.

NCAA football recruit is hoping to play running back in college - ESPN

Story dominates

Wide receiver Ja'Juan Story (Brooksville, Fla./Nature Coast) had a dominant performance and continued his rise toward being one of the top prospects at his position in the nation.

The 6-3, 190-pounder ran a 4.37-second 40-yard dash. He used his speed, size and hands to make several impressive plays during one-on-ones.

"It was fun competing with some of the best local athletes," Story said.

He has more than 20 scholarship offers at this point.

"It's been hard work and dedication pretty much," Story said. "I come out to practice, and I work hard and give it 110 percent. Plus, I am successful. That's pretty much how I have done it. I have to see all of the opportunities out there. I am just going to have to take it slow."

Story said that Notre Dame is recruiting him intensely, although the Irish have not offered. Kentucky, Pittsburgh and North Carolina have been coming at him the hardest, Story said. Locally, Florida State and Miami have offered. The Seminoles were the first to offer.

"In the summer, I am going to visit a whole bunch of out-of-state schools," Story said. "I have visited a bunch of in-state schools except Florida and Miami, but I plan to visit them real soon. Then, during the summer, up north I go."

From a football standpoint, he has several things he wants to work on as well.

"I have to work on my route-running," he said. "I need to get that more crisp. I also want to work on my takeoff off the line."

Ja'Juan Story WR picks up Florida offer
Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010

Ja'Juan Story now has his pick of Florida's big three universities.

The Gators offered Story on Monday with assistant Dan McCarney telling Story by phone Florida wants him. Last week, Story picked up a Miami offer and Florida State was one of the first to come to Story with a scholarship.

USF, UCF and FIU have also offered the 6-foot-4, 185-pounder.

"When I saw him he had a big smile on his face," Nature Coast coach Mark Nash said. "That's typical with Ja'Juan."

Story is coming off a tremendous weekend where he ran a 4.37 in the 40-yard dash at the ESS Combine at Jefferson on Saturday. He then competed in the Nike combine in Gainesville on Sunday.

"He's just a freak," Nash said. "I don't know another way to describe him."
