Coach Meyer knew he had needs the day he stepped foot on campus. He could see right away that the Buckeyes were sadly lacking in enough OLmen and LBers. He has put the focus of his recruiting on landing as many OL and LBs as he can for this years class and along the way he hasn’t cared one bit about whose feelings he may hurt in trying to flip recruits. He has taken recruits from Notre Dame and Michigan St. and seems to have a real affinity to the kids at Penn St. Today he managed to do both in taking a recruit who use to be a verbal commit to Penn St.
Marc Givler of Rivals has announced thatJoey O’Connor a 6’4″ 295 lbs Offensive Lineman from Windsor, Colorado has committed to Ohio State. O’Connor is a versatile recruit that can and prob will play every position on the OL from tackle to guard to center. If his hands are good enought he may line up as a tackle eligible receiver too lol. O’Connor is an ESPN 150 recruit and a 4 star rated as the best recruit in Colorado and the 15th best OT in this years recruiting class. His strength and speed are a plus and he is a beast at run blocking with a true nasty streak. He will do fine in pass blocking but does need to improve his hand placement to avoid too many holds. He will be a beast at Ohio State and will add to the hatred that PSU fans have for Urban Meyer and OSU right now.
