Question for 83rocks:
Rocks:
Since you know the family here is my question in regards to Jordan:
If you notice the following statement:
Kentucky is already among the top choices for 2009 linebacker prospect
Jordan Whiting of Trinity HS in Louisville.
UK offered him at their summer camp and doesn't want him to bulk up too much.
1.) What was Jordan's response to this? Clearly, he loves working in the weightroom. Has he changed his workout routines & regimens to prevent getting to "bulky"?
Yes they offered, but the camp was to see where he was at compared to everyone else that plays LB. It was not intended for UK to make the offer it came as a big surprise.
He has only one thing on his mind and that is to become a "BUCKEYE". When he was at the OSU camp again it was just to see where he was at compared to everyone else out there. His father wanted him to get the experience of doing camps so he could see what he needed to work on, he has put in long hours trying to be one of the best high schoolers ever. His goal now is to continue to do what he has been doing and see where it takes him. I will also tell you this Hawk is his hero, he wants to be as good or better than Hawk was when he played at OSU.
OR
2.) Has he just ignored the UK staff's comments since he really doesn't plan to go there anyway and/or he doesn't feel his current workout will make him too bulky.
definitely passes the "look" test. Has he set any goals for a weight he would like to get to before heading to college assuming he plans on playing LB in college?
Thanks for your insight. He seems like an outstanding student and an excellent prospect. Being from a military family, I love seeing kids of former service members as Buckeyes. Best of luck to Jordan and his team this year.
Jordan goal is to play LB at OSU, his current weight is 225lbs, he does not want to leave high school weighing over 235lbs. As long as he keeps his speed he should not have a problem playing LB, there are some LB's that weigh over 250lbs and are fast as lighting, only time will tell for sure.
