When a new update is available, it will be posted. I would guess that Jackson will spend the summer making a decision and announce at the end of summer.

Jackson has been busy running track and has not been on the AAU circuit, he will compete in the 110-meter, 300-meter hurdles at the State meet. Jackson indicates that at this time he is serious about playing football at the next level and will attend the Senior Elite Camp at tOSU on 23 June. As far as basketball, Cincy has recently made contact and Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan, Dayton, Xavier, Kansas State are in the mix. Michigan, Dayton, Xavier, Kansas State and Miami-Ohio have all offered for basketball. Dante does not hold any offers for football. Coach Fickel was in to see him this week.

Jackson won the Division II State Championship in the 110 meter hurdles and finished second in the 300 meter hurdles. Cincy and Kentucky have offered for football. Ohio State is looking at Jackson as a wide receiver and Penn State, Michigan have made contact. Dante is still undecided on which sport he will play at the next level.
As far as basketball, Michigan, Ohio State, Dayton, Xavier and Kansas State have been recruiting him the hardest.

I am still telling you that his ticket to tOSU is through football and I will not be suprised if he leaves the June 23rd camp with an offer or soon after.
He obviously has speed as he won the 110 hurdles at state.

Right now he would play WR, if he gets bigger he could move to TE. I also think from his film he would coule play safety and that might actually be his best position.

Too soon old, too late smart
CBF - you DID say that was the ticket, and it's looking like you're right on! (Got any lottery numbers you care to share....)
Sounds like he could be this year's Chichester (85 schollies go alot farther than 14 schollies). And it sounds like he could be a contributor to both football and basketball. If we just brought him in on extra point and field goal attempts (to block the kicks), Tressel could get some service out of him, and keep him safe for the hardwood.
Serious question though, if he has a schollie to one sport, can he play another sport without 'taking up' another schollie in THAT sport? I think I read someone (another thread) say that if the wrestler from Texas played football and wrestled (he's here on a wrestling schollie ((?)) ) that he counts against football if he plays.........
Nevertheless, I like this Ohio-bred kid. He's got heart, and he's a Buckeye through-and-through, and isn't afraid to say so. He'll accept a schollie to play for someone else, but I read that he bleeds scarlet and gray. I don't care if he's NOT a 5*, I want him.
Or is there a downside that I'm not aware of out here on the Left Coast?

I belive if he plays football and basketball, his scholarship counts towards football.CBF - you DID say that was the ticket, and it's looking like you're right on! (Got any lottery numbers you care to share....)

I'm eager to watch him at camp. He didn't look extremely agile, but cbf40 thinks that his speed/quickness could be deceptive. The kid can hit too coming from his safety position.

LOL I tried to get this thread moved to the football forum, or have a thread started in the football forum when his video first came out.
As for the schollie I believe he will be put on football and then be able to walk-on to the basketball team. No matter what even if he doesnt play. I believe they put an end to this when kids were taking up track schollies and then walking on to the football team.
As for the rest I agree with everything you said.

this thread has been bounced around, but the reason its stay put (or last time we had a lil pm thing about it) was he keeps showing up at basketball games. where he ends up who knows, hes a big kid, a nice kid and a humble kid ive had the pleasure to have passing conversations with him as stated i believe earlier in this thread.crazybuckfan40 said:
