Ohio State Stepping Up Recruiting Efforts for “Once-In-A-Lifetime” Offensive Line Prospect Gunner Givens

Jamie Harless knows a hell of a high school prospect when he sees one.

Harless is the head coach at Lord Botetourt High School in Daleville, Virginia. It's a place that has a pretty high standing in the state.

“We've made quite a reputation for ourselves with FBS linemen,” Harless told Eleven Warriors. “Deemed OLU by some people in the state of Virginia.”

And before that, Harless coached Tarell Basham at Franklin County High School in Rocky Mount, Virginia. Later, Basham went on to star at Ohio University, where Basham won the MAC Defensive Player of the Year award in 2016 before being selected in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the New York Jets.
