To say that Urban Meyer has been hitting the recruiting trail like his hair is on fire would be a huge understatement. It would be safer to say he has set the entire world on fire. Mostly though he has set other schools coaches and fans in a hissy fit that would make any 8 year old school girl envious. Last weekend Urban hosted about 25 recruits and several of them are soft verbals to other schools in the Big ten. Most notably PSU and MSU. It was a who’s who of top recruits many of who have more stars then the Milky Way. As it is many left town with so much excitement they couldn’t hardly wait to get back to their homes and call the other coaches to tell them they were flipping on their commitments to those schools. The first recruit to go fully public with his change of commitment is….
6’3″ 305 lbs 5* DT Tommy Schutt from Glen Ellyn, Illinois flipped from Penn State to Ohio State to become the 17th commitment in the 2012 recruiting class and Coach Meyers first verbal in his 2 weeks on the job at OSU. Schutt is a huge get as he is an ESPN 150 recruit and a top 5 DT prospect in the country. It also takes away PSUs highest ranked recruit and the first of 3 possible PSU verbals who may flip to OSU with LB Camren Williams currently visiting OSU and Noah Spence the no. 5 recruit in the nation visiting this coming weekend. Schutt will make a instant impact on the DL next year being so big and strong. His motor is non-stop and has strength and speed you dont see often in DT. He will be great next to Big Hank. Urban has set ablaze the recruiting trail and you will see many more like this in the coming weeks.
