Scout Alabama, Ohio State and other courting unranked JUCO DL Jamar King

Originally from Denby HS (Detroit) and says Ohio State was a favorite growing up. Has an official setup to OSU on January 30th. Was also offered by Alabama a few days ago.

Ukiah is about 3 hours south of where I live on the beautiful Redwood Coast. It would be great if King could come in and contribute at DT next year.

Interesting story. He originally graduated high school in 2008. He's 25 or 26, I believe.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Very interesting and surely something that current '16 DT recruits should notice because it's not that common for tOSU to go the JUCO route. We. Need. Help. Apply within.

Would take this kid in a second...

Guess who his Defensive line coach was in High School...

And who put tOSU in his ear in High school?

Also If you notice in the highlights #99 Archez (Panama) Marks was on the same line at Denby HS. And Glenn Winston who plays for the Browns was on that team as well

Who?
You?

If so can I ask what has he been doing since 2008?

Sounds like not much, football-wise:

...
When asked why they chose to enroll at Mendocino College, each student athlete had varied answers, but a common theme.

King, having been out of school the longest, took the advice of a friend to enroll in college so he could “make a better life” for himself and also have the opportunity to play football again (and, as it has turned out, basketball, too). His friend had attended and played football at Mendocino College in the mid ‘90s. One of his teammates with Eagles is current assistant coach Tyrell Espy. Community colleges where King lived didn’t offer sports. So he thought Mendocino College “would be a good fit for me.”

Yes, I was.It was my third year coaching after moving to Detroit from playing Arena Football. After he graduated, he worked at GM and played semi-pro.

You might want to send him a "note"

 

[MSURacerDT55]

He is currently on campus

He's gotta love the depth chart--he's starting against BG if he commits.

It does seem like the perfect fit for someone not on the traditional route who is probably looking to make it to the NFL ASAP.
