I went to high school in Ft. Wayne.  Although my parents still live there, I don't.  HOWEVA...it seemed that the few times I went home, and I saw football results, whenever I saw "Bishop Luers" I saw "Jaylon Smith."

He goes to Bishop Luers, which, despite being in the 2nd smallest division in high school rankings, does VERY well in their conference, often playing the largest schools (5A).  They are a perennial powerhouse and have won or been runner up in the Indiana 2A title game.

He was also in the Indiana coaches top 50 All State Team (as a running back), along with a couple of excellent class of 2012 recruits in Gunner Kiel and Sheldon Day

My initial reaction:  he is the best player on an excellent team.

I live in Fort Wayne close to the school.  Had many friends attend the school.  One of them is now the offensive coordinator for the football team. 

Jaylon is the real deal in terms of athletic ability.  His brother went Harding High School and they were very good at football.  The school recently closed down and a lot of the football players ended up (got recruited) at Luers.  Jaylon will most likely leave with 4 state titles.  A lot of this is because he is an unstoppable RB.

I asked my buddy why they have him listed on all the recruiting sites as an OLB when he seems to be a better RB.  He said that is the position that he went through all the combines at before his JR year.  He said they were trying to put together a highlight tape of him playing LB from his JR year to send in and said they were having trouble finding plays to put on the tape.  This is due to his primary focus being on offense and taking plays off to rest on defense.  So if you look at his HS season he is a better RB than LB.  But athletically he can play whereever.

He also said that Smith is not an OSU lock because of his brother and mentioned he like ND.  For what its worth the coaching staff there is obviously pro ND since they are a catholic school but they also are pro OSU.  The staff used to a lot of stuff with Tressel.  No recruits from the school have attened OSU or ND.  They have at other B1G schools and MAC schools.

I'll be curious to see if anyone wants him as a RB and whether or not he prefers that position to LB.  He seems to at Luers.

Damn, the #4 overall player in the 2013 class according to 247. That would be awesome to get Jaylon along with Shane, Dymonte, LTT and Ty Issac. The 2013 class could be a monster one and that's saying something after the class that we are pulling in this year.

Don't forget Wyatt Shallman. I really like him. He could do a lot for us, especially in short yardage situations. Also, he's a teammate of Matt Godin, who'd let us know if his head isn't on straight or anything.

Looks like our LB recruiting is going to be very good in 2013 as well. Although I only see us take 2, possibly 3. If Jaylon were to come here, the rivalry would continue to get more interested. Dymonte and Dunn are cousins and Rod Smith and Jaylon are brothers. Pretty cool.

I've heard he's been waiting for the Michigan offer and it's exciting were back in play with major high school talent.

Recruits often notice what fan bases show the most love and a simple "Go Blue" tweet is more than enough to show the love.

In a game between the two best teams in the city with a few B1G basketball commits, he had 34 & 14. Was the top scorer and rebounder. ND coaches were on hand to watch. He is going to make a difference for someone.
