OT Mirko Jurkovic Jr [Ohio State Commit]

Michael Bruntz 28 minutes ago

Nebraska is getting a versatile offensive lineman in Mirko Jurkovic, according to IMG Academy head coach Chris Weinke.

“Nebraska got a big time player today in Mirko Jurkovic,” Weinke said. “He is playing tackle for us, but has the ability to play all five positions on the line. He is a big athletic kid with great feet, and a nastiness about him on the field that is hard to teach.”

IMG Academy plays a national schedule of games that includes state power Godby High School out of Tallahassee, Fla. in the Kickoff Classic on Aug. 23, and will tackle one of the nation’s toughest schedules that includes MaxPreps Preseason top-25 teams Trinity Christian High School from Jacksonville, Fla. and St. Peter’s Prep from Jersey City, N.J. Fall practices get underway in August.

Jurkovic is a three-star offensive guard with an overall rating of 86 according to 247Sports.

Best part of that interview with Jurkovic's coach:

a nastiness about him on the field that is hard to teach

This kid is good, real good. His film shows him dominating. I have no idea why he is only a three star. With him and the other OLs we gotten recently, this will unquestionably become a strength of the team.

 
I'm so confused on some HS careers of kids. I saw a tweet where he was from Granger, Ind. But, he is from IMG academy in Florida. What's the story with that?
He lives in Indiana but has moved to Florida during the school year to attend IMG Academy.
So, is this a boarding school that concentrates on sports even more than a normal school?
not sure about boarding but they concentrate on football. I don't know how but if someone wants to they can post the pics of his high school locker room. He has them on twitter. Nicer then some college locker rooms.
 
garrison is straight up killing up......i think what I've seen over and over is that getting kids here is a big deal and in large part is brought on by a staff that is very sincere and honest with kids... straight up real!!! too bad lots of kids cant see through all the fake a$$ recruiting pitches

 
I know I saw on twitter last night That Jack Wegher originally from Dakota Dunes SD and is now a team mate of Jurkovic congratulated him and said hope to see you there in a couple of years.

Yeah, played for Sioux City Heelan before transferring there and brother of former Hawkeye Brandon Wegher. Sounds like Chris Weinke, coach at IMG, has been talking to the staff about him.
