Taking Trubisky would probably mean that Barker (2014) would not come to tOSU the following year. Miller, Cardale Jones, Barrett, Trubisky would be in front of him. That's too many.

I like Trubisky alot but if you already have Barrett this year (2013) then might be better to wait for Barker in 2014. It's something the staff has to decide.

ESPNHS: How?s the offseason going? What have been some of your biggest goals this spring?
Trubisky: It?s going well. Lately I?ve been lifting with the team ? we lift after school together ? and the weather?s been great, so I?ve been getting out and throwing passing patterns to my receivers. I run the offense and we run their routes. My arm is getting stronger and I?m doing some speed training on the side as well as putting on some pounds.

ESPNHS: It must be tough to get faster and put on weight at the same time, right?
Trubisky: It?s a slower process for sure. If you put on too much weight too quickly, you are too slow, so it?s a gradual process. But those are always two things that will help out in the fall. You can never be too strong or too fast.

ESPNHS: Anything else you?ve been working on?
Trubisky: I?ve been watching a lot of film from last season. One of the things I want to do is know what everyone else?s jobs are and knowing what the defense is going to give us, so I can help my teammates be the best they can be as well as getting better myself.

ESPNHS: You?re going to be at the Elite 11 regional this weekend. What are some of the things you?re looking forward to about this competition?
Trubisky: The Elite 11 competition is awesome. I?m surprised at how big it?s become. If you?re a big-name QB, you want to get into this competition. I?m excited to compete and give it my best, and hopefully things will work out. It should be really exciting.

ESPNHS: What are some things you really want to showcase at the event?
Trubisky: I hope people can see my foot work and my arm strength and how accurate I am. I want to show people that I can throw the ball hard but be accurate with it as well.

ESPNHS: You?re rated as a dual-threat quarterback. Do you consider yourself a dual-threat QB?
Trubisky: Everyone asks me that. I guess you?d say dual threat, but I don?t really have a preference. I do whatever I have to for my team to be successful. If that means pulling it down and getting some yards with my feet, I?ll do whatever I can do.

ESPNHS: Is there one quarterback you model yourself after or that you like to watch?
Trubisky: I like to watch Aaron Rodgers and try to mimic what he does. I think he knows the game really well, he?s always a step ahead of the defense, and he?s so accurate. He?s got one of the quickest releases of any quarterback. It?s fun to watch.

ESPNHS: Give us an update on your recruiting. How are you enjoying the process so far?
Trubisky: It?s going really well. I?m taking it slow. I don?t know how far I am into the process, really. I don?t know when I?ll commit. A lot of schools are showing interest, and I?m excited to keep this thing going. When it?s time to decide, I?ll know it?s right, and then I?ll let everyone know. But I?m having fun with it and taking it slow. There?s been a few schools who have talked to me just recently and others who have been talking to me for a long time. I think right now, Alabama, Tennessee, Michigan State and Ohio State are my favorites, but I?m definitely keeping it open, because I know other schools are still looking at me.

ESPNHS: Finally, tell us a little bit about this fall. What are you looking forward to most?
Trubisky: My ultimate goal is to help us be the best team that we can be this year. I want to take my team to states and bring back a state championship and just be a great team player. The numbers don?t really matter to me. If my team has success, I?m sure I?ll have success. I?m just looking to have a lot of fun in my senior year.

High school football: Mentor's Trubisky attends elite QB camp, hopes to make college decision during two-a-days (with video)

The whirlwind of the recruiting game is about to get turned up to 10 for Mentor's Mitch Trubisky ? if it's not there already.

The summer between a top-notch recruit's junior and senior years is the most intense, and Trubisky is definitely a top-notch recruit. ESPN.com has the Mentor junior as the No. 7-ranked dual-threat quarterback in the nation.

It shows in the number of offers on the table from Football Bowl Subdivision schools. Along with the most notable ? Ohio State and Alabama ? Trubisky also has scholarship offers from Michigan State, Tennessee, North Carolina, Minnesota, Northwestern, Cincinnati, Toledo and Ohio.

If he wanted, Trubisky could have compared those offers to his counterparts last Friday at Ohio Dominican University, and many at the Elite 11 quarterback camp there were probably right on par.

Trubisky joined about 80 senior-to-be signal-callers, many among the nation's elite, according to recruiting rankings, at the regional camp. The Elite 11 competition stretches across the nation at six events in Dallas, Atlanta, New York, Columbus, Oakland. Calif., and Las Vegas.

Top performers earn a spot at the final Elite 11 event in July in Southern California. Trubisky did not earn one of those spots. It went to Shane Morris of Warren, Mich., who's committed to the University of Michigan. The two-hour event put the QBs through many drills. Trubisky was hoping for a better outing, but was not fretting about his performance.

"I think it did well enough to turn heads, but I'm not going to lie, (Friday) was not one of my best throwing days," Trubisky said. "I think I could have done more and done better, but it gives me something to work on."

Mentor's Mitch Trubisky, recruiters look for right fit: Tim's Take
Published: Tuesday, May 08, 2012
By Tim Warsinskey, The Plain Dealer

Allison Carey, Plain Dealer file
Mentor junior Mitch Trubisky is on the recruiting radar of a number of major football programs.

The assumption from the beginning was Mentor quarterback Mitch Trubisky would choose Ohio State.

"He's still a Buckeye; it's hard to leave Ohio," said Mentor football coach Steve Trivisonno, referring to Trubisky's home state, if not his eventual college home.

Assuming Trubisky will indeed be an OSU Buckeye is an unwise leap of faith over complicated waters. The recruiting of a college quarterback has many layers, and Trubisky is trying his best to sort them out the final weeks of his junior year.

Trubisky (6-3, 200) is the first area QB in many years to have an offer from OSU as well as the defending national champion, Alabama.

But these days, an "offer" means different things to different people.

Ohio State has a nonbinding oral commitment from four-star Texas quarterback J.T. Barrett. The question becomes, will Ohio State take a second quarterback from the Class of 2013?

This brings us to the bizarro world of "non-committable offers," which is something new at Ohio State under coach Urban Meyer. A kid gets an offer, but it might not be a confirmed offer on which he can act.

It's an offer that says, in so many words, we need to see more before we join hands. Try that next time you ask someone out on a date.

Last week, Ohio State saw more. Ohio State quarterbacks coach Tom Herman watched him throw at Mentor High, Trubisky said.

Mitch Trubisky file

School: Mentor.

Position: Quarterback.

Class: Junior. Ht.: 6-3. Wt.: 200.

2011 stats: Completed 238-of-388 passes (61 percent) for 3,845 yards and 42 touchdowns. Rushed for 598 yards on 129 carries and 13 TDs. Mentor was 11-2.

College offers: Alabama, Cincinnati, Michigan State, Minnesota, North Carolina, Northwestern, Ohio State, Ohio, Tennessee and Toledo.

Unofficial visits thus far: Alabama, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, West Virginia.

Ratings: Scout.com, 4 stars, 18th-ranked QB. ESPN.com, 4 stars, seventh-ranked dual-threat QB. Rivals.com, 3 stars, unranked.

Timeline: Trubisky said his goal is to decide before or during practice in August, but Mentor coach Steve Trivisonno expects a decision as early as June. "I'd be surprised if he hasn't decided by the middle of the summer," Trivisonno said.

"He said he was impressed. He saw exactly what he thought he would see, and they still love me," said Trubisky, last season's Plain Dealer Offensive Player of the Year.

Love in this case is a Valentine, not an engagement ring.

"It's right on the edge," Trubisky said of the offer. "They want to, but they don't know if they can based on the number of scholarships they have."
