Ohio State v Michigan Visitors and Recruiting

Two highly prized linebacker recruits visited Ohio State over the weekend for their game against the Michigan Wolverines, Trey Johnson and Daniel McMillian. Johnson is currently committed to Auburn but is looking at other schools for a possible switch, he is yet to de-commit. McMillian is a Florida commitment who is taking his visits and will most likely stay with Florida or switch to OSU. Urban Meyer made a pitch to both players while on campus that coming to Ohio State was right for them. The loud crowd in Ohio Stadium and the victory on the field were also good selling points for the school.

Johnson will continue to take visits including one to USC in January and one to Florida. Heading west to play football is possible but unlikely according to sources close to the situation. It will most likely come down to either Florida or Ohio State for Johnson. Florida isn’t in great need of a linebacker for 2013 the way that Ohio State is, making Meyer’s pursuit even more logical.

Ohio State coaches are hitting the recruiting trail this week after the season ended in perfect (12-0) fashion over the weekend against Michigan. Stan Drayton was in Cleveland visiting Glenville prospects LB Christopher Worley, Marshon Lattimore and Marcelys Jones. Mike Vrabel went to see Clifton Garrett at Plainfield High School. Ed Warinner is in New Jersey to see OL Quenton Nelson while Luke Fickell is visiting another Florida committed linebacker in James Hearns.
