It just wouldn’t be normal at this point if Coach Meyer didn’t have at least one if not a few flips to his recruiting class. After all we are still 10 months away from signing day and most recruits at this point are still easily flipped if he really wants them. The No. 7 recruit from the 2013 class comes to us via a brief stint as a member of the 2013 West Virginia Mountaineers class so if you know any fans of that team thank them for holding this recruit for Meyer just long enough until he could gauge if he wanted him or not :).

Jayme Thompson is a 6’2″ 185 lbs 4 star Safety from Toledo Central Catholic. Rivals has Jayme ranked as the 13th best Safety in the country and the 146th best overall recruit. Jayme brings an athletic ability to the safety position as he is also a highly touted WR recruit as well but does expect to play safety at OSU. His speed and toughness will work well for him and being a WR will give him an advantage when going up against WRs.

It seems like it has been FOREVER since the last recruiting update but it really has only been a month since Evan Lisle became a member of the 2013 class. This weekend was a huge recruiting weekend for Coach Meyer and his staff as they hosted several top recruits as well as most of their current commits and members of the 2012 class for spring practice this weekend. It didn’t hurt that OSU basketball was also in the Final Four although that didn’t out as well as hoped it did show OSU as a Championship caliber athletic school. I wouldn’t be surprised if this update is the first of a few over the next month as OSU has spring practices and the Spring Game. As it is though this update goes to….

Ezekiel Elliot a 6’0″ 200 lbs RB from St. Louis, Missouri. Ezekiel is a speed back who is also a star in Track and Field. He is a RB who has true speed and shiftiness that excels in Coach Meyer’s offense. Scouts has Ezekiel rated a 4 star and the 9th best RB in the country. He certainly fits the mold of the kind of player Urban wants and needs to make his offense work. Welcome to Buckeye Nation Ezekiel.
