When you are a freshman, often times you are not ready to begin thinking about where you are going to play college football. Â But if your lucky enough, like class of 2017 ATH from Westerville, Ohio Marcus Williamson, it can start that early. Â Williamson is a 5-10 athlete but most people think he is going to play corner back or wide receiver at the next level. Â He has one offer, one from Toledo, but has been gaining interest from many other schools. Â He gained some interest from Indiana after he camped there, Ohio State and Michigan State have also been showing a lot of interest. He has a very strong interest and even told me that if Ohio State offered, they would immediately be one of the favorites. Â He likes many things about Ohio State and had many good things to say about the program.
“My whole family has been Buckeye fans since I was little,” Williamson said of why he likes Ohio State. Â “I live in Columbus and it’s great to see how passionate the fans are. Â They also have always had a winning tradition.”
Williamson grew up around a Buckeye family and around the Buckeyes so it is easy for him to love Ohio State. Â He recently took a trip to the neighborhood school and was able to camp and impress the coaches as best he could. Â “I went to the camp and ran a 4.45 forty,” he said of the camp. “I feel like I did excellent in the drills. Â I think I performed very well at the camp.” Â He was not able to check out the campus and facilities, but said that he wants to get up there soon to check out the academic side of things.
Marcus Williamson’s recruitment is starting to heat up now and I am sure he is going to get more offers and more interest soon. Â He keeps in regular contact with Coach Coombs and they are starting to build a good relationship. Â It is good that he has been in contact with Ohio State early as I’m sure they are going to be keeping tabs on him in the future about how he develops his game. Â I asked Marcus if there was anything he would like to say to Buckeye Nation, and he said, “Â I’ve been working hard. Maybe I’ll be in scarlet and gray soon!” Â Marcus is a hard worker and I expect him to get bigger and better. Â His recruitment is going to get very busy as more teams get interested.
