Guedet hits the next level

Washington (Ill.) junior offensive tackle prospect JJ Guedet (6-foot-8, 255 pounds) has gone from zero offers to nine in a very short amount of time this winter. Guedet takes a few minutes to get us caught up on his offers, planned upcoming visits and more in this latest recruiting update.

"It's been a quiet week so far since the college coaches are off the roady," Guedet said. "I'm up to nine scholarship offers now and it's just an amazing feeling."

So did Guedet ever think a year ago that he would have nearly double digit offers this winter?

"No. Not at all. I honestly didn't think I would have an offer before my senior year. I just didn't see all of this coming. let alone having nine offer and two of those being from Big Ten schools."

So which offer has been the biggest surprise so far for Guedet?

"Iowa was a surprise, and also so was Iowa State. Iowa came into school and watched one of my practices then later that day they offered me. The offer really came out of nowhere. Iowa State also really came out of nowhere. I know that my head coach (Darrell Crouch) had been in touch with Coach (Alex) Golesh from Iowa State but up until they offered me I had very little contact with them. Both are great offers from great schools and programs and both ended up being a nice surprise."

Guedet has also seen more schools taking notice of him.

"I'm definitely seeing more college coaches following me on Twitter. Nebraska has been starting to follow me along with Army, Liberty, Oklahoma State and Michigan State and Notre Dame. Oklahoma State was actually in school last Tuesday and talked with my coach."

Does Guedet have any upcoming college visits planned?

"I'm planning to visit Illinois on February 20th. I'm also set to visit Minnesota on March 3rd and then visit Notre Dame on March 10th."

JJ Guedet has scholarship offers from Central Michigan, Illinois State, Illinois, Iowa State, Iowa, Miami of Ohio, Ball State, Northern Illinois and Western Michigan.
