FNL Recap

It was another very successful Friday Night Lights event for Urban Meyer and the staff.  They were able to secure two commitments from Josh Moore and Josh Alabi, both are members of the 2015 class.  They are both huge pieces of this class as Josh Moore gives Ohio State the coveted tight end they so desperately wanted.  Josh Alabi plays both sides of the ball as a guard and a defensive linemen so it is going to be interesting how his career develops. I think he is  going to be a good player on either side of the ball but people think he is a good defensive linemen. Here are some updates from other prospects at the camp. I am going to update this as more recruits get back to me.
