Price, Barrett ready to be OSU mouthpieces
July, 10, 2012
By Brad Bournival | ESPN.com

All the 2013 Ohio State commits truly have to do at this point is fax their letter of intent to the Buckeyes in February. But many members of the group are not finished visiting Columbus in the meantime.

Defensive tackle Billy Price (Youngstown, Ohio/Austintown Fitch) has been under wraps for almost five months with the school. Dual-threat quarterback J.T. Barrett (Wichita Falls, Texas/Rider) told Ohio State he wanted to be a Buckeye in the middle of April.

Both have made arrangements to be at Ohio State?s Friday Night Lights camp on July 27.

Gholson: Will Barrett prove to be 'Ohio State good'?
By Nick Gholson
Posted July 15, 2012

First off, let me say that I am a big J.T. Barrett fan.

I think the Rider senior is a super quarterback and a super kid.

And I'm not the only one on the J.T. bandwagon. Texas Football magazine made him the preseason all-state QB in Class 4A. ESPN picked him to be a part of its Elite 11 quarterback competition.

Some are even calling him the top dual-threat high school quarterback in the country.

Whoa, Nellie!

Are we getting a bit carried away here?

Although I think J.T. is really good, I am still not sold on the fact that he is "Ohio State really good."

The Big 10 is a big jump up from District 5-4A.

Maybe some of my doubt is Shavodrick Beaver's fault.

I loved Beaver when he was the Rider quarterback in 2006, 2007 and 2008, but as good as he was, he wasn't "Michigan good."

He committed to Michigan his junior year but then backed out and went to Tulsa and couldn't beat out G.J. Kinne and ended up back here at Midwestern State.

"They were very comparable athletic-wise," Rider coach Jim Garfield told me when I asked him to compare Beaver and Barrett. "Shavodrick was a little faster, but J.T.'s actual awareness of the game is better and he also has a little more arm strength.

"What makes J.T. so special is his leadership ability. It's off the chart. When J.T. talks around here, everybody listens."

Barrett sets his sights on Elite 11
Rider QB to toss with nation's best
By Andy Newberry
Posted July 15, 2012

J.T. Barrett knows he's among the elite high school quarterbacks in the country.

But as fun as it'll be hanging out with the other top quarterbacks from the Class of 2013 this weekend, Barrett also looks forward to competing at the Elite 11 Quarterback Competition.

It's the 14th year of the event, which has six qualifiers around the country to set the field for the five-day national event that begins Wednesday in Redondo Beach, Calif.

Past participants included Jason White, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Troy Smith and Tim Tebow, all of whom went on to win the Heisman Trophy.

Super Bowl winners like Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers as well as Texas great Colt McCoy went to the Elite 11 finals.

Barrett will fly out Tuesday and has to miss Rider's trip to the 7-on-7 state tournament.

He has one goal when he lands: show them his very best. It's a chance for him to see the fruits of his labor.

"It just says one of the top quarterbacks already," Barrett said. "This camp is trying to distinguish who are the best 11. I think it's a good thing. You are one of the best and competing to see who is the best.

"I'm trying to go out there and try to win the MVP for sure, but when you think about it you only control what you do. If I do my best, then I know I should be one of them getting into the Elite 11."

Barrett sees Elite 11 as proving ground
July, 17, 2012
By Brad Bournival | ESPN.com

J.T. Barrett (Wichita Falls, Texas/Rider) will use this week?s Elite 11 finals as a proving ground of sorts.

Not that the 2013 dual-threat quarterback has to turn a lot of heads as he has a scholarship from Ohio State already in hand, but the 6-foot-1, 205-pound Barrett is ready to show off his arm.

Playing in a run-heavy offense, Barrett?s wing was used just as much as his feet in 2011.
