FORT WORTH, Texas -- On June 1, Jalen Mayden and his mother sat down at the kitchen table and mapped out their summer.
Jalen, a coveted 2018 quarterback from Sachse, Texas, came up with a long list of schools he wanted to see and coaches he wanted to impress. Katrina Mayden-Salles, a teacher, came up with the grand plan.
“We have a book and a calendar, it’s all written out,” she said. “But it’s all in my head, too, because that’s our summer bible.”
Her son already has early offers from Ohio State, Mississippi State, Houston, Louisville and six other FBS programs.
