Now, there are some weaknesses in Scott’s game, as there are in every recruit’s.
#JACK GEE JR HOW TO#
His big frame (6-foot-3), paired with those hands should be pretty frightening for the rest of the Big Ten, because once he learns how to use his size a little better (boxing defenders out), Scott will be both a great possession receiver, and a dangerous threat in the red zone. He also has excellent hands, allowing him to secure just about every pass thrown to him.
He’s got the kind of technical ability you don’t really see very often from high school receivers. He’s a very good route runner, making quick cuts and creating space with his hands without being obvious about it. He plays in a system that’s actually pretty similar to what he’ll do at Ohio State, with a lot of quick hit underneath routes, and seems to be a perfect fit for it. With Ryan Day at the helm and Brian Hartline coaching receivers, it seems that the philosophy has changed a bit, because Scott, Smith-Njigba, and even Garrett Wilson are much more pure receivers coming out of high school than we’re accustomed to. The Buckeyes used to recruit athletes first, and turn them into receivers later. is a bit different from the receiver prospects Ohio State has spent much of the past few years recruiting. Scott is obviously, as you can tell from his lofty rankings (70th in the 247Sport composite), a big get for the Buckeyes, but let’s look behind the rankings and stars a little bit, and look at what Scott brings to Ohio State, on, and off the field. The Buckeyes picked up a commitment from Texas four-star Jaxon Smith-Njigba back in November, and most recently, Hartline received quite the Christmas gift, as Sammamish, Washington, four-star Gee Scott Jr. In the 2020 class, we’re starting to get some answers about Hartline’s recruiting, and the early returns are very encouraging. He landed Jameson Williams and held on to Garrett Wilson, but both of those guys were heavy Buckeyes leans for months before Hartline arrived. However, the 2019 class didn’t give us a ton of answers about Hartline’s recruiting chops. This past season alleviated quite a few of the on field concerns, as the receivers were Ohio State’s most consistent group all year long. Hartline had never coached before, never recruited before, and his only real experience was playing the position at Ohio State in the NFL. There were plenty of justified concerns when Brian Hartline was brought on to Ohio State’s staff as interim wide receivers coach back in August.
