After an explosive second season at the major-junior level, New Albany’s Kole Sherwood, one of the Blue Jackets’ top prospects, is turning pro.

The Blue Jackets will officially assign Sherwood, an undrafted free agent, to minor-league Cleveland in the next 24 hours, The Dispatch has learned, and he could make his debut as soon as today at the Iowa Wild.

Sherwood, 20, had 33 goals, 52 assists and 60 penalty minutes in 60 games with Flint of the Ontario Hockey League. He tied for ninth in the league in scoring. He also had four goals and an assist in five playoff games, but Flint was eliminated in the first round of the OHL playoffs.

They play Iowa tomorrow, not today. He is not in the lineup tonight.

Crazy that this guy went from the Chillers to the Q in just a couple of years.

Good for Sherwood. I hope he keeps his trajectory.

As a former New Albany resident, this really made my day. How cool would it be to have a local boy playing for the Jackets?

What? We signed him 2 years ago lol. Good to see he's going to Cleveland though.

One of those reports is fake news.

They tend to put articles written for the next day's paper online around 9:00 the night before so I'm sure the article was written from the future Sunday perspective. I see them do it all the time for some reason.

As a print media dinosaur myself, that's probably it. Kinda sloppy to not have different web and print versions of the story, but that's what happens when you try to do more with less.

Was good buddies with Kole throughout my 4 years at New Albany HS, thought he was just another chiller chump until he made the CBJ prospect camp. Just the most humble kid, the whole graduation class was shocked when he got his contract.
