Commitment List | Forum
Urban Meyer and Ohio State took the Big Ten by storm in just a few short months last year before finishing with the No. 3 class in the country. The Buckeyes haven't let up and could bring in an even more impressive haul this year. It's a terrific year for running backs and Ezekiel Elliot (6-foot/200) of St. Louis, Mo., is ranked ninth but would push for No. 1 in most years. Linebacker Mike Mitchell (6-4/225) of Plano, Texas is a name who will have scouts salivating at the NFL Combine in a few years. He possesses a size/speed skill set that translates well to the next level. Percy Harvin did as much damage running the ball as he did catching it for Urban Meyer at Florida, and Jalin Marshall (6-1/190) of Middletown, Ohio, has the ability to play the Harvin role almost as good as Harvin. (1/31) Ohio State gets 4-Star wide receiver Corey Smith, moving the Buckeyes up and putting Michigan squarely in their sights. (2/4) Ohio State inched a little closer to the No. 1 Class in the nation with a commitment from the nation's No. 10 running back Dontre Wilson (5'10/180) of Desoto, Texas. (2/6) Ohio State took over the No. 1 spot in the rankings on Signing Day with a signature from 5-Star safety Von Bell (6'0/190) of Rossville, Ga., and for good measure to get some separation from the No. 2 team, Ohio State quickly added 4-Star receiver James Clark (5'11/170) of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.
