Hey all, I wanted to get some more scoop on another visitor and offer from this past weekend, so I caught up with Stebbins (OH) 2024 OL Jake Wheelock. He visited for junior day on Sunday and also left with a scholarship offer from the Bearcats.
Wheelock had been to UC for a game last fall and also camped last summer with the previous staff. But it sounds like he didn't feel like there was a ton of interest until Satterfield became coach and brought on assistant coach Nick Cardwell. There had been some talks, but both coaches stopped by his school on Friday, which is when Wheelock decided he'd visit for the junior day. I love this quote from Wheelock: "It was snowing, so we were pushing cares to get there, but I wanted to get there." It just sounds like he made a huge effort to get to UC on Sunday.
Wheelock seems to really like Cardwell. He told me he liked his youth, energy and "he's someone who will give tough love but will make you your best player." So right now, it's very fair to say the Bearcats are in a great spot.
That said, Virginia Tech is the team to especially watch out for here. The Hokies offered back in the fall, so they have a jump. Wheelock is also visiting there this weekend for junior day. So far, he's been to junior days at Eastern Michigan, Toledo and Western Michigan. But now that UC is involved, I think this one is really between the Hokies and Bearcats for now.
Full story coming.
