CLARKSVILLE, TENN. ? For Jalen Reeves-Maybin, the past six months have been as crazy as it can get for a high-profile prep athlete.
The Northeast High junior is currently trying to keep his Eagles baseball team in the thick of the District 10-AAA tournament that began today while gearing up for his senior season on the football side. It?s the latter sport that has garnered red hot attention from college coaches around the country and has Reeves-Maybin on the cusp of becoming one of the most highly recruited prep football players in this city since another Eagles graduate, Travis Stephens.
Since November, 12 schools have offered the 6-foot-2, 190-pound quarterback, including the latest ? and biggest offer ? coming from Ohio State.
