The Hurry-Up: Jakorion Caffey is determined to put in the work in the offseason necessary to earn an Ohio State offer and Carnell Tate could be nearing a decision.
Caffey had a breakout sophomore year for Avon, running for 1,254 yards on 153 carries and 23 touchdowns last season. OSU running backs coach Tony Alford has taken notice and has been keeping in touch with Caffey for the last few months.“I talked to Tony Alford and all the other coaches down there and they seem really cool,” Caffey said. “They don’t just care about your football ability. They actually care about your academics and after football life.
“It hasn’t been too bad,” Caffey said of his recruiting process. “I see everyone else get these offers but I’m not really panicking because I’m still a sophomore. It just motivates me to work harder.” “ told me to just control what I can control and keep getting better and to just trust the process and stay patient with the recruiting process,” he said. “I’m still young so he just wants me to stay patient and keep getting better.
Caffey is continuing his spring track season for Avon and working on increasing his elusiveness to be even more shifty this fall.
