Upon recently getting an offer from LSU, Barrett recalls how the news was given to him, "Coach Jim Garfield told me I had a call from Coach Kragthorpe, and they both went to college together. So, Coach Kragthorpe told me they like my film and they wanted me at LSU."

What are some important values you learned from Coach Garfield? "He told me every college will have some nice facilities, but look for coaches who will be there. He taught me not to get into the hype of recruiting." Tell us about the realtionship you have with your current coaches."My coaches have been like family to me, and I want to keep that relationship long after High School."

After recently visiting Texas Tech, do you have any upcoming visits planned? "Yes Sir, I will be visiting Texas on Feb. 25, 2012."

We also learned that JT should have an easy road to academic qualifications. He exceeded 1400 on his SAT, and will be taking the ACT. JT comes from a family that instills the importance of a great education, and football is merely an after thought. His parents weren't even impressed by his testing scores.

So is it safe to say your parents don't mention your gridiron success much? "Yes Sir, when I received my offer from LSU I mentioned how it was a great day to my mom, and she wanted to know why, so I told her I just got an offer from LSU." What was her response? "Oh okay."

If there are any early leaders at this point for you JT, who would they be? "Ohio St., LSU, and Texas Tech."

Not only is JT on pace to graduate early, but he plans to enroll in January with a desire to major in sports marketing.

The talented quarterback manages to eclipse 1500 yards in the air, and on the ground. JT is looking to bring his team deep within the playoffs next football season.

What are your plans as far as visiting LSU? "I plan on making it down there during the spring." If there was one thing you tell Tiger fans, what would it be? "JT is a hard worker, and if I choice LSU, you will get my everything. I give 100% in everything I do."

Catching Up with JT Barrett

By Alex Gleitman - 06 March 2012

Braxton Miller, pending he is healthy, looks set to be Ohio State's starting quarterback for the next three years. That is obviously good news for Buckeye fans, but knowing Miller's time in Scarlet and Gray will one day come to an end, the staff has to look to the future and find his successor now.

The class of 2013 is filled with many talented prospects at the quarterback position. There are a number of players that currently hold offers from Ohio State, but the consensus seems to be that Urban Meyer plans on taking one player from the state of Ohio and then one national player to fill out his class at the position this coming year.

One signal caller that is in the small group holding an offer from the Buckeyes is Wichita Falls (TX) Rider's JT Barrett. Barrett (6-2/210) is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation and currently holds offers from top BCS programs from all over. He is rated as a 4-star, the top ranked dual-threat quarterback and number 38 overall by 247 Sports, as well as a 4-star and the number 138 overall player in the Rivals 250.

The heavily recruited prospect has started to make some college trips, with his latest coming up early next week when he will fly with his father to Columbus to check out Ohio State. We caught up with JT to get the latest on his recruitment, see what he plans on doing while in Columbus, when he plans to make a decision, and more.

Join us after the jump to get the latest on one of the top signal callers in the country, JT Barrett.

How did your junior season go? How did your team do and how did you perform individually?

It was a good season for us. We went 10-4 and made it to the state quarterfinals. There are some things we look back on that we wish had went differently, but there can't be any "should haves or would haves". We just have to grow from the experience and get better for next year. Our plan is to win it all next season and we are going to win it all. As for me individually, I played OK. There were a couple times where I threw interceptions that were crucial in losses and I need to eliminate those for our team to perform better. Overall I had over 1,600 yards and 14 touchdowns throwing the ball and ran for over 1,500 yards on about an 8 yard per carry average with 7 rushing scores.

How is recruiting going? What offers do you currently have?

Recruiting is going well. People told me it was going to get really crazy, but it hasn't been too hectic, which I like. I currently have 10 offers and they are from Ohio State, Texas Tech, Baylor, Nebraska, LSU, Arizona, Ole Miss, Illinois, Kansas State, and North Texas.

What visits have you taken and what visits do you have planned in the future?

I have been to Texas Tech and Baylor already. I am going to Ohio State early next week, LSU on March 31, and then back to Baylor for their Pro Day to check that out. Other than that I have nothing planned right now.

What coaches have you spoken to at Ohio State and what are they telling you?

Coach Tom Herman is my recruiter so I speak to him often. I have also spoken to Coach Meyer a few times on the phone and through emails. The first time I spoke to him is when he offered me and I also just spoke to him on Sunday, March 4. He told me they were really excited for me to get up there for a visit and that they really want me. He's really laid back and we talk often about life in general, not just football. We also talked a lot about David Nelson of the Buffalo Bills, who he coached at Florida and went to my high school. David has told me all about Coach Meyer and how great he is.

Very consistent thrower and is also a threat to pull the ball down and run at anytime. A true leader. His combo skill set is exactly what many offensive coordinators are searching for.
