Saw in another post (another place) that this OL is trending towards Alabama. Might be so, but one has to understand that Carmel High School is one of the very elite HS in nation. Heck, with the AP classes there, he could be at least a sophomore. Ergo, unless Alabama has channeled more money into their teaching staff, then doubtful that Jackson would consider that university. That sort of stuff matters to a person with a great HS background. Would suggest that USC, or more probably Stanford would be in the running for this young man. Something has cooled tOSU staff off on this kid, or maybe other way around apparently. Sorry to see that. Go Bucks!

He’s actually visiting this weekend, but I just didn’t post it because I didn’t see OSU as a realistic option.

Don't know that he is or isn't a realistic get for tOSU....but sincerely believe that the Buckeyes are high on everybody's list, and so each recruit wants to have themselves 'wooed' by the best. Plus, do imagine that in reality these recruits are 'shopping' for the best deal. With all the pub about how tOSU's OL is average at best, some of the better ones are sniffing to see if they could come in and be 'the guy'. And have their whole family get a free vacation. Believe me, flying out of Monterey is expensive. Best option is driving an hour and a half to San Jose, and getting a much better airline connection. Personally, do hope that Frye and Co can convince this kid to don the scarlet & gray. With the exception of some of the Salinas teams, he's probably not had the best competition, but he does have requisite size. To be determined is his heart and desire. Ah well, I'd take it as an early Father's Day present....Go Bucks!

Per 11w:
Chip Kelly was the first coach to ever offer OT Jackson Lloyd, back when he was at UCLA.

Tim Drevno, who is now a QC coach at Ohio State, was Lloyd's primary recruiter back then.

"I met the most with Ryan Day, Chip Kelly, Tim Drevno, and Mike Sollene," said Lloyd.
"I liked all of them and my impression of them is that they are huge on developing you, not only as an athlete but as a person."

We were late to offer Lloyd, but the Kelly - Drevno combo has allowed us to make up a ton of ground in this recruitment.

Makes sense why OSU now moves into the lead
