Josh is a great football player and would be an excellent addition to WVU's offensive or defensive line. He would definitely have a WV following with fans wearing his jersey number as much as Slaton and White. Whatever Josh decides, it is his decision and we should respect it. Hope he ends up at WVU though... Best of luck Josh.

If Josh Jenkins is looking towards the future,his best chance of being drafted by the pros would be at OSU.

I understand that coaches have to go to players home etc. But why the school. I understand that Tressel toured the whole school. I understand the Football locker room and weight room, but why the main building. I heard he had the school in Star Gazer mode. I remember when Woody Hayes came to the Field House and I got to meet him as one of Dave Phillips friends, who Woody asked Dave to invite a few of his friends and team mates.

Coach Tress is a class act. Being a OSU fan sure would like to see Josh there. Good interview.

I hope Josh Jenkins knows how lucky he is to get to meet such a tremendous icon, and piece of American football history. Mr. Tressel is the leader of one of the best teams in college football, and I hope Mr. Jenkins understands how many young hopefuls would love to be in his position right now.

As a Buckeye fan we are excited at the opportunity to have Josh Jenkins as part of the Buckeye Nation, but whatever he chooses I wish him all the best in the future. Coach Tress is a one of a kind and anyone who is recruited by him is very fortunate. Go Bucks!!

Coach Jim Tressel, as shown on WTAP sports, epitomizes the best in college football coaching. Josh Jenkins makes us proud knowing Coach Tress thinks so highly of him. What an awesome experience Josh would have as a Buckeye...great mentorship and tradition to prepare Josh to move onto the next level.
