Benedictine (Ohio) junior Jerome Baker continues to add offers to his list. The junior has well over one dozen offers.
Bakers offers range from eight in the Big Ten (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State), three in the SEC (Arkansas, Florida, Tennessee), and Georgia Tech out of the ACC. Recently, Baker has been hearing more and more from another school down south.
Alabama stopped by my school a couple of weeks ago, said Baker.
Baker played running back and linebacker this season and says that he likes both positions equally.
Most schools are saying that I can play either. Some, like Ohio State, want me at both positions, said Baker.
With his high school season over, the junior is hoping to get on the road and take some visits.
So far I've visited Ohio State, Penn State and Illinois. Hopefully over the break I'll be able to visit some schools," said Baker.
When it comes to his recruitment, hes in no hurry to make his decision.
Im going to narrow down my list this offseason and will probably commit after my senior season, said Baker.
While the junior still has awhile before he plans on making his commitment, he does know what hes looking for in a school.
There are three factors Im looking at: Academics, the tradition and the atmosphere, said Baker.
As for his junior season, he feels like he made strides in improving his game.
We lost in the regional finals, but overall it was a good season. I worked on my footwork a lot. A few of my teammates pick on me telling me my footwork wasnt good, so I worked on that during the offseason and it paid off, said Baker.
