Offered by LSU. 6'1" 210 lbs dual-threat QB out of Wichita Falls, TX. Ranked 134th on rivals. J.T. Barrett - Yahoo! Sports With Texas seemingly out of the picture with their QB commitment of Swoopes (5 star), LSU stands a very good chance of being in the running for this kid. Great alternatives like Baylor, Nebraska and Ohio State (all 3 schools want this type of QB) won't make this an easy get for LSU.
I did an interview with him yesterday, and he is a very cerebral athlete. His parents are very strict on him, and he will probably make a 28 on his ACT. He scored well over 1400 on his SAT. Unlike Jeremy Johnson from Alabama who will most likely end up at Auburn. JT seems very open and has a very high place for LSU. The biggest threat for his services are Ohio ST and Urban Meyer. I don't put much past Urban in his recruiting tactics. I don't know if I am allowed to paste a link here or not. So let me know if that is okay, and I can link the interview for you. Thanks
Thanks I am back on the computer right now. I know several people have their opinions on different prospects. I do;however, believe that Jeremy Johnson is an incredible Pro-style QB. His long ball is a thing of beauty. JT is better as an all around QB, but not as polished on the long ball.
Barrett could possibly commit to Texas on the spot. The only issue is whether Texas wants a 2nd QB, which is not likely but you never know. Will be in Austin on Saturday.
