By Gary...talks about why he has been competing at the combines despite the fact he has already verbaled to his school of choice. Also talks about why he made such an early decision.

Mewhort's stock has been steadily rising after committing as a relative sleeper. Consistent camp performances and an apparent addiction to competition seem to be catching alot of people's attention. IMO, extreme competitiveness can only be good in an OL. :biggrin:

Certainly...I still wonder how rivals can't have him in their top 250 after seeing him in person? I know he didn't perform prior to the list being made, but 6'6 291 with his frame and OSU offer should solidify it. Plus he has exceptional polish at this stage and moves fairly well. No offense to Linsley at all (I think his rating is about right) but Jack is the better OL imo and is a top 100 type player. He has been very competitive as well and the only reason he is rated so low is because he commited early. If Jack waited and sent out film, he probably would have had 20+ offers. I'm glad he caught Bob L's attention though. Jack is a good reason to "trust the coaches"...they did an amazing job at finding him and getting an early offer out.

Talks about where on the OL the staff see him and confirms he is graduating from HS in December to enroll early at OSU, either in January or in the spring quarter depending on scholarship availability.

ESPN - Don't sleep on these guys - Football Recruiting

It's not often that an offensive lineman is accused of being too tall for his position, but such may be the case with offensive Jack Mewhort (Toledo, Ohio/St. Johns). The No. 122-ranked offensive lineman shows remarkable agility and flexibility for a 6-foot-6 center and his non-traditional measurables may lead to his sleeper status.

Though he doesn't play as low as some shorter linemen, he can manhandle middle guards lined up on him or shaded. His powerful hands and upper body allow him to move defenders off the line of scrimmage with regularity. He is fluid when getting to the second level in order to pick up linebackers and has the coveted mobility to venture downfield to seek out defenders. Mewhort is talented enough to play other positions on the offensive line, but don't count him out at the valuable center spot, despite his height.

Preview: Futures game - Top prospects give college commitments before senior seasons

As the 2008 high school football season approaches, fans of schools around northwest Ohio will have the opportunity to see some talented teams as well as some highly regarded individual players in the coming weeks.

Six local players have already committed to Division I college programs, the largest such group in this area in many years and perhaps ever prior the players’ senior seasons.
