2027 GA DL David "DJ" Jacobs is a Buckeye!!!

Always thought he was a 'big fish in a little pond'. When you get a 'big fish in a big pond', then that's note-worthy. Guess that's why these kids go to camps, to showcase their skillset against elite competition. Some rise, and some fall, nothing new here.

Tangent but you're right, Ojo has looked awful two straight years at camps. I get he has good size and athleticism but that hasn't turned him anywhere close into a competent OT, let alone a 5* one.
Yeah, Tech paid him based on what they thought he could become. And maybe he does become an All American and 1st round pick, but he has a long way to go. And it seems like he made a name for himself dominating smaller DL competition, and this is the issue I've had with OL recruiting since forever. These highly rated OL are almost always the biggest players on the entire field, and can just embarrass most HS lineman. But you really get to see what they're made of at some of these camps when they face similar levels of competition with players of comparable size. I remember seeing Sam Greer manhandling DL last year, Ojo looks like he needs to bulk up and work on his strength in a major way. Problem is, he won't need to work on that until college, because he'll go back to HS and dominate next season as well
