Javasiya Baulkman is one of the upcoming stars in the Green Oaks football program. The 6’1”, 320-pound, big man will be the starting left tackle during the 2020 season as the Giants are ready to make a deep postseason after falling in the second round in 2019.

Baulkman has tremendous size and strength in the foot trenches. He also possesses great footwork, athleticism and intensity. The Class of 2022 lineman knows he has a very important job in protecting one of the best quarterbacks in Green Oaks and is ready to step up and be a pillar on the offensive line.

Baulkman not only works on the gridiron and in the weight room but also in the classroom where he currently holds a 3.0 GPA and enjoys math class.

In an exclusive Recruiting News Gur interview, I caught up with Javasiya to talk about his career at Green Oaks and his preparations for his junior season.
