Earlier this week our man Adam did a Q&A interview with Stephen Collier and at the time of the interview he had a feeling that Collier was close to being offered and if he was offered would commit. It was only a few days later that all of this came to fruition. What does this mean for Brandon Harris? It most likely means he has taken OSU off his list and will end up at Auburn or LSU. What we know for sure is that Stephen Collier is the QB for this class and barring anything strange happening that is not going to change and I don’t think Buckeye Nation should even consider the what ifs. This kid is the real deal and in time the recruiting services will catch up to what OSU and the Elite 11 QB challenge already know he is a real talent.
Stephen Collier committed to Ohio State via his twitter account moments ago…

Stephen Collier is a 6’4″ 210 lbs 3 star QB from Leesburg, Georgia. Collier racked up impressive numbers his junior season, racking up a more then 2,200 total yards and 34 touchdowns. He was invited to participate in the Elite 11 QB challenge that is for the best of the best QBs in the nation. Scout ranks him a 3 star and the 57th best QB in the country. 247sports ranks him a 3 star and the 18th best QB in the country. Rivals ranks him a 2 star. ESPN doesnt rank him at all…. YET. You can read the interview with Stephen which will give you some great insight into this young man. You can see his JR year highlights below.
I know you recruitniks weren’t surprised by this, but all of this seems pretty sudden. But reading about him, you can’t be impressed. Smart, big and seems to fit perfectly in Urban’s offense.
Welcome aboard, Stephen!
He reminds me of Craig Krenzel intelligent wise and mobility wise because Krenzel was much more mobile than people gave him credit for.
