THE HURRY-UP: REID CARRICO EARNS INVITATION TO “THE BEST ALL-AMERICAN GAME,” JAGER BURTON’S COACH SUPPORTS THE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN'S PATIENCE
BURTON'S COACH DISCUSSES DIFFICULTIES OF SHUTDOWN
We've discussed ad nauseam how the NCAA's nationwide shutdown of recruiting visits has affected every uncommitted football player in at least some way, big or small. In Ohio State's case, it actually helped streamline the process for the handful of five recruits who committed in March.
For guys who are not nearly as sure about their college destination, like Fredrick Douglass (Ky.) High School junior Jager Burton, one of Ohio State's priority offensive guard prospects in the 2021 class, it's providing some uncertainty and delays in the process.
Burton told Eleven Warriors he's handling the shutdown well, and we've talked about how Burton is still planning on taking his five official visits before making a college commitment – a commitment that is likely to be pushed back from the original Aug. 24 date he selected.
One of the influencers in Burton's corner, Fredrick Douglass head coach Nathan McPeek, told Kentucky's WKYT Sports reporter Alex Walker that he's continuing to tell Burton it's OK to be patient to make sure he's making the right decision for his future.
"I told them don't get in a hurry and don't get frustrated," said Douglass head football coach Nathan McPeek.
"Jager is going to take five official visits whenever they open that calendar back up whether that's June, July, August. He scheduled Ohio State for June. If that's not feasible, bump it back. Don't get in a hurry. You have to be comfortable because this is a big decision for the next 4-5 years of your life."
Burton is an athletic 6-foot-4, 270-pound junior whose strengths come as a run blocker, especially when asked to pull, which is one of the key reasons he's become a top target for Ohio State. Burton has jumped up the 247Sports rankings over the past year, as he's gone from being ranked No. 302 overall on April 15, 2019 to being ranked No. 156 overall on April 13, 2020.
The No. 8-ranked offensive guard in America, Burton is planning on taking his five official visits to Ohio State, Clemson, Oregon, Kentucky and Alabama. Penn State is another school he has mentioned in the past that he is high on, but it looks doubtful that the Nittany Lions will replace one of those five in getting an official visit from him.
