Looks like we might have another Ohio Commit soon (hopefully). OT Jared McCray originally committed to Louisville and is a 3-Star on ESPN, Scout, and 247sports (86Rating) and 247Sports is predicting that he will be coming to Ohio. Yes I know that its just someones prediction but still. This would be a huge pick up. He had other offers from Louisville, Cincinnati, Kent State, and Akron.

Here are some quotes from an article i found on it.

"The thoughts of a grayshirt was something Jared McCray did not expect to hear prior to the Thanksgiving holiday.When coaches from Louisville told the Minford offensive lineman of the Cardinals’ intentions, he informed them of his plans to decommit and reopen the search for his college home next fall."


“After looking at it and thinking about it, I really didn’t want to sit out a year of college football if I have that opportunity,” McCray said. “I just want to play football and just sitting out a year was not anything that comprehended in my mind. I just decided it was time to move on and hopefully another spot would open up for me to play football in that first year.”

Sounds good. This class is already awesome, and has covered most of the needs, so at this point they can just add the best available talent regardless of position, and Jared sounds like that is him.

Seen him play as a sophomore in football and basketball last year. He is a big bodied kid with good feet and hands, and has legit size.

Think the other O-line commit means this guy is not coming?  Personally, with an offer from U of L, I'd really like to get this guy.  Would be nice to finish the class with two more BIGS!

I think they have covered the major bases. I know I'd like another DB and another QB, but at this point my guess is that they're looking to get the best available talent regardless of position.

I'd love to see Ohio recruit a particular kind of player that has proved elusive: A RB who might not start at Oregon or USC or Bama but who would be good enough to start at NIU, Toledo, Ball State, Buffalo...

Did you miss this guy? Or this other guy? The running backs in this class are excellent, I think.

Running backs are over rated! It all starts up front!

Of course. There are eleven people on the field at once, and all of them are important.

I hope your belief is vindicated!

A Mighty Minford Falcon would be a great addition!

He tweeted that he is officially a Bobcat. 

I haven't seen an update on the official page in a while though. Someone needs to go make sure the fax machine has paper.

Actually the young man on the other side of the ball may be better than this kid. He was only a Sophmore, and just as big and more aggressive. Pipeline?
