Flipping recruits has become a pastime for OSU coaches as they have had to make up serious ground since taking over after the regular season ended. When Coach Meyer hired his asst. coaches one of the biggest skills each of them needed was to be a good recruiter and to have a passion for recruiting. Coach Withers was hired as Co-DC and has already impressed in helping to land Armani Reeves and now he also has brought with him a recruit who was once a verbal to his old school North Carolina.
Jamal Marcus is a 6’3″ 245 lbs OLB/DL 4 star recruit from Durham, NC. Marcus is a one time commit of the tar Heels but opened up his recruiting after they named a new HC and Withers moved on to OSU. Marcus is ranked as high as the 16th best recruit at his position but all the sites agree he is a solid football player who could play either LB or DL depending on how his body continues to mature and grow. Marcus becomes the 26th commit in the 2012 OSU recruiting class.
