Lots of room to improve on this season but he is a really impressive kid. Love the honesty while remaining upbeat. Not that I haven't already known that but I think he handled that interview perfectly.

As a finalist, Jacoby is guaranteed an $18,000 post grad scholarship. The winner receives an additional $7,000.
Today on the Urban Meyer call-in show, Urban mentioned he had joked with Mike and Hope Boren about what it would take to get some more Borens in the pipeline.

Ozone Urban Meyer updates
+ If there was another way they could get another Boren out of the Boren family, they would take him.
Sounds like Jacoby's nephew is getting an offer soon... probably the strongest kid in his day care center
got OG locked up for class of 2031

OHIO STATE'S JACOBY BOREN AND JACK WILLOUGHBY NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANS
Jacoby Boren and Jack Willoughby are part of an 11-1 football team, but they're also getting it done in the classroom.
Boren, a second teamer last season, is a repeat All-American. With the two selections, it brings Ohio State's All-American honor roll to 51 honorees and 28 first-time selections.
Boren carries a 3.83 GPA and majors in sustainable systems. Wiloughby, a magna cum laude Duke graduate, is pursuing a master's in agricultural environmental and developmental economics.
Boren achieved two of the highest academic honors available to a Buckeye footballer: He was previously named a William V. Campbell Trophy finalist, which recognizes the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation.
Boren is a two-time Big Ten Conference Distinguished Scholar, a two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree and a four-time OSU Scholar-Athlete. He has played in 43 games for the Buckeyes and has started 27 consecutive games at center. He was named third-team all-Big Ten this week by the league’s coaches and voting media.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Great article (in case you don't know the whole story, and even if you do, it is still worth reading)....
....
How Jacoby Boren and family went from maize and blue to scarlet and gray
If he had to guess, Ohio State center Jacoby Boren would say he probably wore maize and blue the day he was born — his family loved the Wolverines that much. It’s just what happens when both your parents went to Michigan, even if you live, essentially, in Columbus.
The three Boren boys grew up this way, rooting for Michigan and playing competitive football, for much of their childhood. Their dad had played for Bo Schembechler, after all.
Nothing really changed until the oldest, Justin Boren, pulled a move that made him infamous for quite some time — he transferred from Michigan to Ohio State in March 2008 after Rich Rodriguez was hired as the Wolverines' coach.
Instantly, the Borens became Buckeyes. Zach Boren, the middle brother, decided he had to discard all his Michigan apparel. That was no small task, because he used to wear something with a block "M" on it every day.
“I threw out all my Michigan stuff and my mom took it to Goodwill,” Zach Boren said. “But I had one pair of Michigan shorts that wore all the time, and I actually kept them. I was like, ‘Mom, I have to keep the shorts.’ I wore them all the time. I still have them somewhere.”
Zach Boren laughed. It’s funny now. But at the time, it was actually kind of crazy. Justin’s decision made him a flashpoint in perhaps the nation’s most heated rivalry. Fans couldn’t understand how he could could go from one side to the other so easily.
