Big Zeke Game #5 & #6 Highlights
Thaddeus Snodgrass Junior Highlights (Added Today)
Three-star linebacker Christopher Worley (Cleveland/Glenville) plans to make bookend visits to Ohio State this season.
After taking in the season opener when the Buckeyes played Miami (Ohio), the 6-foot-3, 190-pound prospect will be at the Michigan game Nov. 24.
“I’m going to that Michigan game,” Worley said. “I don’t know yet if it’s official or unofficial. That’s one of the greatest -- actually that is the greatest rivalry in college football. I’m going down there and checking it out.”

On Saturday, some big recruits were in East Lansing, Mich., for unofficial visits, so it was the perfect time for Ohio State to make a name for itself.
ESPN Watch List juniors Clifton Garrett (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield South), Dominique Booth (Indianapolis/Pike), Thaddeus Snodgrass (Springfield, Ohio/Springfield), Malik McDowell (Detroit/Loyola) and Damon Webb (Detroit/Cass Tech) were on hand to watch the Buckeyes eke out a 17-16 win over Michigan State.
“I like the fact they never gave up,” Garrett said. “They kept fighting.”

Edgy Tim's football recruiting notes | Garrett visits Michigan State; Weishar, Westphal talk Illinois
Plainfield South junior inside linebacker Clifton Garrett visited Michigan State last weekend.
"It was really nice overall," Garrett said. "It was my second unofficial visit and I was able to talk to the coaches and some of the fans during the game. The atmosphere and the fans are great at Michigan State. They get really rowdy and they are really into it, which was fun."
While Garrett has yet to name early favorites, the Spartans have made a positive impression.
"The coaches are really great," he said. "They seem to care about the players and they seem concerned about more than just football. They want you to graduate and they are really supportive. ... That makes them stand out compared to some others."
Garret has scholarship offers from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Purdue and Wisconsin.
Prospects visit Illinois: Illinois played host to several top in-state prospects from the Class of 2014 Saturday for the game against Penn State. Marist junior tight end Nic Weishar and Bolingbrook junior defensive back Parrker Westphal were impressed with the Fighting Illini despite the 35-7 loss.

Trey Johnson (Lawrenceville, Ga./Central Gwinnett) has been committed to Auburn for over a year, so with the 1-4 start by the Tigers and news that the ESPN 150 prospect is taking official visits, some eyebrows are sure to be raised. According to Central Gwinnett head coach Todd Wofford, that was the plan all along.
"He loves Gene Chizik and he loves Brian VanGorder, but he just wants to cover his bases and he always said he was going to take visits, so he wants to check out schools that have big-time linebacker traditions," Wofford said. "He likes the kids that Auburn has committed right now, but at the same time other schools are kind of using Auburn’s season as a factor with him."
Wofford said USC was one of the first schools to come by during the evaluation period, and Ed Orgeron was by last Wednesday as well. Urban Meyer at Ohio State calls once a week, as do coaches from FSU. Coincidently those are the programs, other than Auburn, that Johnson plans to take official visits to. Johnson is going to Ohio State on Nov. 23 for the Michigan game, to USC most likely the second week of January and will be taking officials to FSU and Auburn. Wofford discussed each of the four programs set to host the No. 129 prospect in the country.

Penn State joined several its of Big Ten brethren this weekend when it extended an offer to an 2014 ESPN Watch List wide receiver.
The Nittany Lions offered Springfield (Ohio) receiver Thaddeus Snodgrass on Friday.
The 6-foot, 174-pound junior already has offers from Big Ten programs Indiana, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue and Wisconsin. Outside the conference, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and Toledo have also extended offers.

Wow Lattimore's offer sheet is EXPLODING. I really hope we can get this kid to stay in Ohio and sign with the Buckeyes.
"if irony were made of strawberries, we' d all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now."
How has Worley performed this year? Not surprisingly, we're hearing a lot about Lattimore and his stats, but Worley's performance is probably going to be more the type that coaches pick up on. He seems very patient in this process of waiting for an offer, that's for sure.
I like how on Zeke's highlight film the first play shows him getting a flag for illegal procedure.
Not happy Raekwon is going to see a Georgia game twice in a row. He pulled Georgia even with us after his visit to Athens, and if Georgia wins, even though he is there for SC, it could put us behind. Need to kill his visit in against Michigan and then whenever he gets up here again.
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
Looks like Zeke is playing against OSU defense in couple of those highlights with all the broken/missed tackles.
What I love most about Zeke and Marshall is the fact that they are 4.4 guys that are well built. Don't get me wrong I lvoe the Jacobs committment, but he has some bulking up to do before he sees the field. Physically Elliot and Marshall have the potential to see some serios action as freshman. Marshall probably needs to enroll early to finetune his recieving skills, but even if neither enrolls in January both have th skills to be very special players early for the S & G

Love the fact that those recruits came away impressed with OSU while on visit to MSU. Great stuff haha.
Regarding Lattimore: I read somewhere (don't remember where) that his is and has always been a HUGE buckeye fan and it's a matter of when, not if, he commits to the good guys.
@Triv ... Don't be so hasty as to think T.Jacobs has to do a lot of bulking up before he sees the field. Remember how small D.Thomas was last season? Almost identical in size, but you can definitely see a size increase in D.Thomas this season.
@Hayze ... That was an ESPN article where Lattimore stated he has always dreamed of attending The OSU!
Being up here in the Cleveland area trust me when i say no one has anything to worry about with Lattimore at all! The only thing anyone should worry about him is what position he plays for tOSU when he gets here. Kid is a stud at wr or db.

True, there are exceptions, and I hope Jacobs can be a guy like Thomas for us. But I don't see him on the field except maybe returning kicks/punts next year, and even then he'd have quite a few guys to beat out. If he can add 15-20 lbs and manitain his speed he can be a very very good player

Great post, awesome info, thanks!
