Everhart's debut as Middletown coach a thriller
Marshall and Junior rush for 360 yards to win in their season opener.
By Rick Cassano
Staff Writer

The Middies opened the 2011 season in exhilarating fashion Saturday night in the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown, getting a combined 360 yards on the ground from Jalin Marshall and E.J. Junior while holding off Huber Heights Wayne 32-31 at Welcome Stadium.
. . .
Marshall, a junior quarterback, ran 38 times for 191 yards and a touchdown. It was his 4-yard TD jaunt and conversion run that put Middletown ahead 32-25 with 2:19 remaining.
. . .
Marshall said the atmosphere ? two highly regarded teams, a raucous crowd, a back-and-forth contest ? was amazing. And he praised Wayne for its physicality.

?I love my fans and I love my team,? Marshall said. ?That?s why we played hard to the last whistle. We got the win. I get to go home tonight and sleep.?

First off congrats to the Middies on a hard fought win, the fact that Jalin ran for 191 yards on 38 carries and his team has 99% of its yards on the ground, personally says to me that he would be a great utility player. Play some WR and in other packages he could be a RB. His athleticism would make him a great QB but i don't think the skill set is there to be a college QB but i'm just saying what we all know. Still would love to have him come to OSU.

After his first game of his junior season we're writing him off at QB? Not so fast my friend. Jalin is a QB recruit; there are a myriad of things to look at when translating a player to the next level, but you have to ignore HS play calling where so many, especially in Ohio, are ground dominated. Jalin is likely 16, the odds of him gaining weight and muscle by the time he is 18 (entering college) or 20 (getting on the playing field) are immensely high. Let him grow into his body, watch him develop, watch his QB workouts, and when he does throw then you have to keep an eye on footwork, mechanics, balance, touch, arm strength, accuracy, etc. Patrick Coyne after his junior season barely threw the ball and he was one of the top QB prospects in Ohio I've seen in a few years. Troy Smith first game of his junior season, many would have said the same also. Let's just wait awhile before we draw to these conclusions of moving him just yet.

Fair enough, not going to write it off yet, just to me it seems like with them running the triple option this year and possibly next year it could hinder his progress into becoming a college level QB. Triple option is for the most part a running style offense. Such as with Navy, they run the triple option and throw the ball maybe 5 times a game. If they ran an offense that was atleast 50/50, with his athelticism i could see him being a QB simply because he is extremely athletic. Hopefully he progresses and can become a QB but regardless i want him at OSU because the vast postitions he could play and the talent he brings.

His pro potential is WR. If he wants to be Denard Robinson in college then he easily could be but both of them will have to learn a new position after their college years are up.

The kid is a 5* athlete. 4.4, strong as hell, he is an average passer though.

He may enjoy playing QB and would be very successful in college, WR is gonna make him a very rich man though. Think Jalin will realize it, better to start playing WR at 18 than 22.

I'm not saying he isn't a QB prospect, but I'm surprised the only positions he has been mentioned playing outside of that are WR and DB. Kid looks like he could be a real threat at RB with his height, weight, and speed. He breaks tackles in nearly his whole video and has great cutting ability and breakaway speed. I just hope we land this kid, he's going to be special at whatever position he finds himself playing on Saturdays.

Over on Scout.com, he is on the feature article on the football recruiting portion, and they have him rated as an early 5* and they have him listed as a RB...article is free
