LANCASTER ? The college recruiting process still is a bit of a shock to Kyle Trout.

The Lancaster High School junior, received his 10th ? and possibly most prestigious ? football scholarship offer Saturday, when Ohio State extended an offer.

?At first, it was really overwhelming,? said Trout, a 6-foot-6, 270-pound offensive lineman. ?I let it sink in and then just started thinking. It?s just a blessing and an honor.?

Trout said a visit to a Lancaster basketball game from Ohio State offensive line coach Ed Warinner sparked the offer. Trout visited the school Saturday morning and was offered while there. Lancaster has sent three players to Ohio State since 2000: Bobby Carpenter, Jim Cordle and Luke Roberts.

The Buckeyes join a list of 10 schools that have offered Trout, including West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Illinois, Michigan State and Indiana. Trout is a four-star recruit, according to the scouting website Rivals.com.

The recruiting process has been stressful at times, Trout said, and he still plans to wait a few months before making a decision. Trout was a first-team, All-Central District selection as a junior for the Golden Gales after not starting a game as a sophomore.

?It?s still hard to fathom,? Trout said.

?To go from getting just a little bit of time to being recruited by Division I schools. That?s something a lot of kids wouldn?t even dream of.?

I thought he went to FNL last summer? So we invited him though he had very little playing time? I am thinking of Roethlisberger, Brady, ....

He keeps saying that but Kyle earned a varsity letter with over 20 res played and started three games at tight end. He was also the best linemen at camp in June, that's why he was at fnl

Thanks for continuing to provide updates. Really appreciate it. Really excited about the possibility of another talented Gale playing for the Bucks...

Appreciate all the thank you posts. Also, I don't mind the questions like FNL one above ATV. I understand people trying to figure things out. Heck, its not like linemen have yards and touchdowns to gauge their play lol

Someone, is probably very proud of Kyle. I don't recall seeing anywhere how Kyle has done in the classroom, but he's been responsible enough to make himself college scholarship material. Getting an early in state, scholarship offer for football from Ohio State during the Urban Meyer era is approaching parental fantasy land!:yow2:

Good to hear that you aren't annoyed by the inquiries, and speculation. I think the fact that Kyle has earned an early offer while being relatively inexperienced speaks to how far he has come in a short period of time, and how much upside there is yet to be tapped. With skill development and experience he can only get alot better. I would be curious to know Rapture, if you think Kyle still is growing, height wise. Thanks again for your contribution to this thread.

First, grades are not an issue for the previous poster.

His pastor and trainer thinks he has one more growth sport I, I think its possible.

As for potential etc, yes they see a huge growth potential in Kyle. They love how far hes come but also how far he can go.

As Rapture will attest, this offer has been a long time coming...whether that offer was slowed by the season, some OOS casts, or whatever, this offer was coming. However, it just did not happen on the expected timeframe.

Congrats Kyle. You earned this opportunity.
