Cash Makes Nine
Plantation (FL) defensive back Jeremy Cash became the 9th member of the 2011 class when he called Jim Tressel earlier today and informed him of his desire to play in real football weather*.
The 6-2 Cash, projected as a safety at the next level, caught the eye of scouts after a stellar sophomore campaign in which he posted 82 tackles (15 of which were TFLs), nine sacks and an interception. Long thought to be a heavy Buckeye lean, Cash arrived at OSU's camp later that summer in a suit, saying it was a "business trip".
At the time, the south Florida prospect was also drawing interest from heavies such as Miami, Florida State, Nebraska, Tennessee, Alabama and others, receiving offers from most of these schools.
Cash returned to Columbus for the USC game and was said to have fallen in love with the atmosphere and was waiting on an offer, which he received shortly thereafter. On the field, he got back at it, notching nearly 100 tackles as a junior in 2009 and then clocking a 4.52 40 at the Miami Under Armour Combine.
He attended Ohio State's Junior Day in February and supposedly gave a verbal around that time, but today he makes it official. Welcome to the show, Jeremy.

This guy is certainly my favorite so far!
Epic win for next year's class.
Tressel haters everywhere cringe. For Today they cannot complain about JT's inability to land top talent from out of state.
Kudo's Jim Tressel.
Spring football in 6 days. YEAH BABY
O.H.....................
Looks very instinctive, with good angles on the ball. I'm bettin' he'll be a special teams nightmare; then a playmaker at safety. Welcome aboard...you'll enjoy our "hittin' weather".
I O!
Dude is a playa
Start a as a freshman???? I think so
The first big name player of the post-rose bowl commits. Easily a 4 star and could sniff 5 star. You look at his offer list and most of those schools have a strong eye for future NFL defender talent. Rest assured that the big name schools, especially Saban et al., will continue to fight for this one. A great get for the Bucks.
Who cringed? The complaint is usually with his inability to land elite recruits on signing day. I don't see how they're wrong - we get burnt almost every year. Go ahead and ignore the fact and claim victory but last year was extremely frustrating for most of us. I love this class so far though.
....I O
I nominate 'Jeremoney' as this kids nickname. JERRREEEMONEEEEY!
...or 'CASH MONEY!'
or J Money
I'm Lovin this class as well. Now let's land Braxton Miller and really make this class special.
O.H.
5 days till the spring game, 95,000 screaming fans.
OH YES!
I don't know, I think he's hauled in some pretty good out of state talent on or around signing day. Sure maybe last year was a not so great class. I'm not going to criticize Tressel for not landing top talent because of one year. Especially when the 2 years before it he had top 5 classes and this one is looking like it could also be a top 5 with what they have and what they are expecting.
HUGE get, kid looks like he belongs in the NFL already. Future stud.
Welcome to the Buckeye family Jeremy! Now bring your good friend Wayne Lyons with you!!!!!!
CASH in the BANK, Baby! This kid is a stud! He'll be on campus in Jan & in spring camp '11. He will be starting day 1! Best Safety recruit for Bucks in years. Cash will be an AA if he stays on the field. Defense will be beasts for years to come. Great grab, Tress!
A tall athletic S is just what the Dr. ordered, after this graduating class...I just wish we could land the best OL recruits, as well.
That's because you don't understand Ohio State recruiting and how they go about running the program. They will never land Elite Talent on Signing Day, but they will beat the fuck out of teams next fall.
