As I talked about in the last recruiting post June has been a big month for Ohio State. The one area that they haven’t had much is in the OL area sure we have top guys in Kyle Trout and Marcelys Jones. But more times than not OSU has missed out on some of the nations OLmen who have chosen other schools over the Buckeyes. Of course fans like yours truly see it as the sky is falling and that OSU will not get anyone they want and any other number of redonk woah is me type things. All along though Coach Meyer and his staff have been plugging away and working on the guys they want and it finally paid off big time today in landing one of the nations best OLman.
Jamarco Jones committed to be a member of the 2014 recruiting class of The Ohio State University today via his twitter account.
I would like to thank Michigan and Michigan State for the opportunities! Both great coaching staffs and players goodluck except against us 

Jamarco Jones is a 6’5″ 290 lbs 4 star OT from Chicago, Illinois. Jamarco comes to us from historic De La Salle HS in Chicago which brought the world Byant and Greg Gumble. On a serious note though Jamarco is a very talented OT prospect and trains with the acclaimed Core 6 athletes. His strength and agility and great foot movement are what people will notice about him. He has a real nasty side to him that all good OTs have. He is a huge get for OSU and will have a quick impact on the rest of the 2014 class. 247sports ranks him a 4 star and the 43rd best recruit in the country. Rivals ranks him a 4 star and the 13th best OT recruit in the country. ESPN ranks him a 4 star and the 66th best recruit in the country. Scout ranks him a 4 star and the 52nd best recruit in the country. Below you can see his highlight reel.
[…] truth is Shelby has long been on OSUs radar as he attended Friday Night Lights last summer with his teammate and good friend Jamarco Jones. So there is why this visit has become so important as Shelby and Jamarco are great friends and as […]
