Young Buck to watch: His talent will jump off the screen

What does a high school player have to do to get noticed? Run a faster 40 yard dash time than most players in the country, win state championships, and maybe jump 42 inches off the ground? That’s what Terry McLaurin had to do.

Actually Urban Meyer spotted McLaurin’s potential before he ran his 40 time and posted his vertical leap at The Opening, but he didn’t offer a scholarship to him during his first camp at Ohio State. Wanting to play for the Buckeyes, Terry camped a second time, and his dream came true.

With McLaurin’s speed , athleticism, and his accomplishments in his high school career it is hard to understand how he could be under the radar for so long.
