Lawrence High junior Amani Bledsoe is ready to sit back and watch the college football national title game tonight, but he has a different view than anybody else.

According to ESPN’s Recruiting Nation, Bledsoe is the only defensive end in the nation, among players in the class of 2016, who holds scholarship offers from both Ohio State and the University of Oregon. The two schools will play at 7:30 p.m. at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The 6-foot-5, 265-pound junior also plays offensive tackle for the Lions and is ranked as a four-star prospect and the No. 111th-ranked player in the nation by rivals.com.

“It definitely means a lot to know that both the schools in the title game have offered you,” Bledsoe said. “It just shows what potential you have, what kind of school you can go to … the type of opportunity I have.”

Bledsoe only watched college football “here and there” during the regular season, but the four-team college football playoff has piqued his interest, and he has followed it closely.

“I don’t know who’s going to win,” said Bledsoe, backing away from any prediction. “I’m just excited to see the game.”

Bledsoe, who led the Sunflower League with 13 sacks this year, also holds offers from Kansas University, Kansas State, Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas Tech. He picked up his offer from TCU on Thursday.

He heard from a lot of fellow players when he started receiving his first offers last summer that the recruiting process can be a little wild, and it has lived up to the billing.

“Yeah, it’s been pretty hectic,” Bledsoe said. “I’ve been able to adjust. I mean, it can be fun, but at the same time, it can be busy and take up some time. You just have to find a way to work around it.”

As the NCAA national title game passes by, Bledsoe continues to workout in the offseason through various weight classes and programs, including Lawrence’s speed school. He earned first-team All-Sunflower League honors on both sides of the ball for his play last season, and he’s preparing to take it up a notch next year.

“It was exciting,” Bledsoe said of his postseason awards. “I wasn’t expecting both sides of the ball. I’m proud of myself. But there’s always room for improvement, so I just have to keep moving forward.”
