By BK...John was at the spring game and will camp at OSU, Pitt and ND this summer.

Might be old news but I didn't see this posted.

It makes sense for college football's top programs to pass through the halls of Cardinal Mooney High School in Youngstown, Ohio this spring. The Cardinals feature at least four of the state's top junior prospects including top Notre Dame target Danny McCarthy.

But those college coaches have had other prospects catch their attention too, including 6-foot-4, 265-pound two-way lineman John Simon.


"I've seen a few schools like Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa and Notre Dame," said Simon about the early interest he's drawn. "I've gotten a lot of questionnaires too."

...



Early in the process no schools stick out for Simon but he does plan on attending camps at Ohio State, Notre Dame and Pittsburgh this summer. He'll follow in the footsteps of his older teammates and check out each school thoroughly before making his college choice.

I recommend checking out the Scoutnuts premium page for a picture of John Simon. I've heard the kid was a big kid and loves to work out, but I had no idea how jacked he really is. I'd post the picture, but it's premium.

He DOES have a bench max of 425 lbs. That is absolutely rediculous for anybody under that age of 18. In fact, it's absolutely rediculous for anybody who doesn't dedicate their life to powerlifting or some athletic type of career in one way or another...

He's a manster, but I hope he doesn't get too big ala Kudla, and loses all of his flexibility...

YES. Could be the verbal #2 as well.

[Buckrock]

Great move! Jump on those Mooney boys with erly offers.

[buckeyeinfla]

2008 and 2009 could be 2 of the best osu classes in a long long time...simon looks like he could be a beast

[OregonBuckeye]

I don't want to be rude, but shouldn't it say "(Verbal Offer)" since technically official offers can't be given out until Sept. 1st?

Actually could be Verbal #1 if he pulls the trigger before Klein does...
