| Barrett is a huge grab for Ohio State |
The good news has just gotten better. As the Ohio State recruiting machine continues to roll on, the country’s No. 1 dual-threat quarterback, JT Barrett, has committed to Ohio State, giving Urban Meyer his 10th commitment in the 2013 class.
Barrett visited Ohio State near the end of March and came away with a great feeling about the Buckeyes.
He announced soon after that, that Ohio State, LSU, Texas Tech and Nebraska were his top choices at that time and he would make another trip back to Ohio State, most likely in the summer. Now, it seems the Buckeyes have earned the commit from Barrett.
Barrett’s list of scholarship offers included Ohio State, Nebraska, LSU, Texas Tech, Arizona, Illinois, Ole Miss, Baylor, Kansas State and Mississippi State before he selected the Buckeyes.
The 6'2", 205-pound Barrett completed 102 of 171 passes for 1,605 yards during his junior season. He connected for 14 touchdowns with seven interceptions. Barrett also rushed for 1,521 yards and nine touchdowns. Barrett also led his team to the fourth round of the playoffs as a sophomore and is one of the up and coming prospects in the 2013 class.
JT Barrett runs a 4.60 40, is a legit 6'2" and 205-pounds. Quicker than fast. Moves with a powerful quickness about him.
Barrett can be considered a true dual-threat QB prospect. A program can design a QB-run game (Urban/Tebow) with him. He has very good, quick and reactive feet.
Barrett is a 4-star prospect in the 247Sports rankings. He is the country’s No. 1 dual threat quarterback, the No. 38 overall prospect and the No. 7 prospect in the state of Texas.
Barrett’s decision is a huge one for the Buckeyes. With Braxton Miller just a sophomore, Cardale Jones a freshman, and Barrett headed to Ohio State, the quarterback position looks great for years to come. Of course, super athlete Jalin Marshall is headed to OSU. Marshall loves playing quarterback, but has the potential to be the Buckeyes' version of Percy Harvin. That's the role he will most likely take.
