TE Jake Ballard (Super Bowl Champion)

[OsUPhAn]

My bad, I was so excited, and I saw nobody had posted it yet. I got a little ahead of myself. Great Pick up though!

true on the in-state pickup but you are mixing up Ballard with Smith or Mixon. Ballard is from Springboro but I like the way you think, lets hope the other 3 follow suit [Smith, Coleman and Mixon].

A great get for Ohio State, like I said before I think he is going to be moving up the recruiting charts during his senior year.

Are you sure about that, I mean he did just verbal to OSU....

Welcome to the family young man!

welcome aboard, your a :osu: .

I feel like this is going to be a great class.

He definitely passes the look test, I wish all ol/dl for the buckeyes looked like that.

Huge Pick-Up

From all accounts, this guy has huge upside potential.

1. Is a true Buckeye!
2. Tremendous work ethic AND motor!
3. Scary frame to work with!

1+2+3 = Tremendous Asset

All of this excitement... and getting into it with the wake fans over on their board... has me all confused again :)

Should not have confused them as Springboro's coach struggles to say the M word... I doubt Colerain's does that :)

Should the thread title be changed to include his possibility of playing TE?

Great decision Jake. Welcome to the Buckeye family. You're the 3rd member of this soon to be outstanding '06 recruiting class. Nice in-state snag Coach "T" and Co.:)

 

[gbearbuck]

Welcome to the buckeye family!!! He's comming as a TE...

 

[jwinslow]

I'll get it out of the way so we can get back to celebrating:

It's great to have a real ballard on our team.

I believe the kids say "balla'", but nice try!

Great addition....Nevada nailed this one on BN when he called in the next 72. Great to see Jake verbal at this point, we were due for some good news.

Welcome aboard Jake...Go Bucks!
