Massillon (OH) Washington ATH Gareon Conley is one top prospects in the state of Ohio for the class of 2013. Conley was a Michigan commit for about nine months, but de-committed back in December, a couple of weeks after Ohio State offered him a scholarship. Conley took a visit to Columbus from December 5th-7th and committed to the Bucks on the visit. I caught up with Conley to talk about the feeling of officially becoming a Buckeye and more:
- Signing: "It felt really good to officially get the process over with. It's an honor to play for Ohio State, Coach Meyer, and the fan base. It's truly an honor."
- Why he chose OSU: "I feel more comfortable as a Buckeye. I know I'll always have people there for me and I'm an Ohio boy."
- Other Signees: "I probably talk to Darron Lee the most. It's a really good class, I can't wait to play with them."
- Meyer: "We have a really good relationship. He's a great coach and I'm excited to play for him."
- Devin Smith (Cousin): "We have a very good relationship. We went to school together and he's one of the main reasons I decided to play football."
- Favorite recruiting memory: "My officially visit to Ohio State when I committed. It felt like home."
- College position: CB or WR (most likely CB)
- Interested in studying business
- Message for Buckeye Nation: "I can't wait to get to Columbus and play football."

We are happy to have this young man. I look forward to seeing him suit up for the Scarlet & Gray!
Glad he flipped. Yet another speedy athlete to wear the S & G.

I love that this kid knows where he is going and why.
I grew up a son of a TOSU professor. I thought about other schools, but in the end there was only one school. You can't escape the tradition.

Is Devin Smith related to everyone? lol
Haha. When we signed Corey Smith I was excited because that could give us a chance to have a formation with trips where all of the are cousins. Of course Conley would have to play WR for that, but I still have my fingers crossed.
