Jaiden Woodbey (DB Florida State, transfer to Boston College)

I mentioned this in another post, but the first time I saw his junior film I thought of Darron Lee in high school. He's a good athlete, but with his frame, it's hard to imagine he's going to stay under 225 after he gets into our strength program. Couple that with him running a 4.85 at his Opening regional, and I'm wondering if part of the reason he's looking around is because the staff has had some honest talks with him about his projected future position. I could be way off, but it's a thought I've had since he's been openly entertaining going to other schools.

Any thoughts or insight on Loy CB'ing Jaiden to Oklahoma today? I always thought SC was the biggest threat.
11W has had a thread going for a few days about Jaiden taking OSU off of his twitter account and posting a cryptic message. I wasn't going to post anything as it seemed like rumor, but the OU CB is interesting as that seems to be our biggest threat(odd) at the time

The Curious Case of Jaiden Woodbey

Will Jaiden Woodbey stay Scarlet and Gray?

This story may sound familiar, and it might even parallel a recruitment (or two) that you watched take place last year. Four-star California safety Jaiden Woodbey surprised many when he committed to the Buckeyes over offers from local schools USC and UCLA back in February. Even though he has been steadfast in his commitment to Ohio State, there have been many who still believe that he will end up elsewhere. Don’t count me as one of them.

The relationship between the Buckeyes and Jaiden Woodbey goes back to June 16, 2016 when Ohio State made their offer official. He tried many times to make a visit to Columbus, but circumstances wouldn’t allow it until January, when he finally made the trip with his mother. Since that trip, he has been to Columbus twice more -- once in March and once for the Spring Game.

That's three trips to Columbus out of their own pockets in a little over three months. I am not sure many high school kids and their families can afford to travel three times from California to Ohio in the span of a few months and it not mean anything. The fact that Woodbey did this and brought both of his parents (separate times) shows that he wanted to follow up his decision with a few visits to make sure that he made the right choice.

While we have a long way to go until December or February (depending on when Woodbey decides to sign), the Buckeyes are again in a prime position to land one of the premier athletes in the country in 2018. Although it might resemble the saga of Shaun Wade last year, recruiting aficionados know that this is the new normal in recruiting. Nothing is binding until the signature hits the letter of intent. Even though Oklahoma and possibly USC will continue to recruit Woodbey hard until he has to sign that paper, I still believe his heart and desire to compete will lead him to Columbus next year.

Let's hope this guy (Ben van Ooyen) is correct......:nod:

Yet another reason I think you definitely take Griffith if he wants in (that and recent attrition at the DB position in the off-season) and keep knocking the door down for Cook, this is far from over. I view it much like Shaun Wade last year and I hope the result is the same, because Woodbey is a serious talent.
