When Jalaythan Mayfield received a call from James Laurinaitis in late March earlier this year, he was in an interesting location to receive some pretty big news.
As Mayfield sat in his car at a Wendy’s parking lot in North Carolina alongside his brother and saw Laurinaitis calling, he couldn’t help but feel a little “weird” answering the call given his location, but it turned out to be well worth his while.
“It was a little weird, but it was very exciting,” Mayfield told Eleven Warriors Thursday.
Laurinaitis told him the good news, that he had received an offer to Ohio State.
