Two Juco All-Americans

Oklahoma State picked up a pair of letters of intent from Juco All-Americans today in defensive end Calvin Barnett and tight end Blake Jackson.

Barnett originally committed to Oklahoma State out of high school (Booker T. Washington in Tulsa) but at the last minute decided he was going to Arkansas before changing again and playing junior college ball at Navarro for a few years.

I’m a fan of recruiting defensive ends nicknamed “savage.”

Jackson is from Augusta, Georgia (yes please!) and was heavily recruited by Georgia and The U out of Scottsdale Community College. His coach says of him: “As good as he is right now I think he can be great when it’s all said and done. I think that with Blake it’s just a matter of continuing to get better and continuing to grow into the position — more playing time, more experience, and more coaching I think is going to make him really special.”

I’m also a fan of 6’4 225 lb. dudes who can run and catch like this.
