2018 Prospect Interview – Phil Jurkovec

The 2018 recruiting class is still almost two years away from signing their letters of intent, but it’s never too early for college programs to take a look at young players and make scholarship offers to top prospects. Ohio State will be without JT Barrett after the 2017 season, so the coaches will be looking to add another top notch signal caller in 2018. Phil Jurkovec from Gibsonia, Pennsylvania has already garnered the attention of the Ohio State Buckeyes and has received an offer from Coach Luke Fickell. He also speaks often with Urban Meyer and Tim Beck. In his sophomore season at Pine-Richland High School, Jurkovec passed for over 2,500 yards and ran for another 1,250, which led Coach Meyer to compare him to Alex Smith, the current quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs and Urban’s former starter at Utah.
