[I]Depending on whom you ask, Jerome Baker, a senior at Benedictine High School here, is either the highest- or the second-highest-rated football prospect in Ohio from the class of 2015. He is a [URL='http://sports.yahoo.com/uga/football/recruiting/player-Jerome-Baker-147537']four-star[/URL] linebacker, appraised from 36th to 72nd nationally.

“I love tradition,” Baker said. But, he continued, “I know in my heart I can make it to the N..L. — that’s my dream since I was a little kid. I don’t want any questions of, ‘You went to the Big Ten?’ There’s not that many teams that are good in the Big Ten anymore.

“I wanted to say that I played against great backs every game. I wanted the challenge. It was a test of myself, my pride. And the SEC is the biggest test.”[/I]
