Illinois Football Recruiting: Corey Smith Visits Hawaii

2013 wide receiver/cornerback/safety Corey Smith visited the Hawaii Warriors this weekend. This is his first visit since visiting Mississippi State on November 30th.

Smith currently has offers from sixteen teams. It is projected that Ohio State is at the top of his list.

Teams that have offered at him include: Ohio State, Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Akron, Ball State, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Miami (OH), Nebraska, North Carolina, Penn State, Toledo, and Vanderbilt.

Smith is from Grand Rapids, Michigan, but played for East Mississippi State Community College this season. At wide receiver, he recorded 733 yards on 51 receptions and scored nine touchdowns. In his last game against Northwest Mississippi, he caught 10 passes for 101 yards and two touchdowns.

The four-star recruit is ranked 2nd in the state of Mississippi, 3rd among wide receivers, and 9th overall among junior college recruits by 247Sports. Smith has great hands, can run routes well, and can make catches in traffic.

According to ESPN, Smith is “a crafty route runner with quick hands, quick feet and good, sneaky speed to threaten the deep field.”

Corey Smith currently has three years or two seasons of eligibility left. This means that he still has a redshirt year available.

Cunningham talks 6, state title

Jordan Cunningham's high school football career may be behind him, but it couldn't have ended in a better way. The 2013 wide receiver and his University School (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) team took home the Florida 3A state title Saturday. The offense scored 24 unanswered points to come back and take the win over Madison County (Madison, FL). Cunningham talks about the win and his recruitment right here.

Jordan Cunningham was sidelined with an injury for part of the game but was able to come back and help his team to the victory. Fortunately, he isn't the only dynamic receiver the Suns have. The self proclaimed "Bomb Squad" has several play-makers including D.J. Taylor and Emmanuel Soto who each had a touchdown in the game.

Cunningham has three official visits left and Florida State, Alabama, Ohio State, and Miami are all in the mix for those. He's already taken visits to Oklahoma State and Stanford. Those schools make up his top six.

He talks about the win, his Stanford visit, and what's next, all in the video below.

Ohio State stayed on defense Sunday when it picked up its 19th commit in the class of 2013.

Two days after Gareon Conley picked the Buckeyes, this one came on the defensive line as ESPN 300 defensive tackle Donovan Munger (Shaker Heights, Ohio/Shaker Heights) gave his pledge to the Buckeyes after taking his official visit to Columbus over the weekend.

Ken Mitchell didn’t hear anything about a commitment to Ohio State from his son, ESPN 150 outside linebacker Mike Mitchell (Plano, Texas/Prestonwood Christian), following an official visit to Columbus, Ohio, over the weekend.

What he did hear was how much fun the 6-foot-4, 216-pound senior had this weekend.

“His first two words were 'crazy' and 'awesome,' ” Ken Mitchell said. “The first thing he did when he got there was spend time with Coach [Urban] Meyer. Then he went to the OSU basketball game. He said it was a great time.”

Urban Meyer likes his football team with enough defensive linemen to go from one sideline to the next. With the addition of defensive tackle Donovan Munger (Shaker Heights, Ohio/Shaker Heights), the two-time national champion coach might be able to do just that.

Munger, a four-star ESPN 300 prospect, became the sixth defensive lineman to give his pledge to the Buckeyes on Sunday, joining Billy Price (Youngstown, Ohio/Austintown-Fitch), Tracy Sprinkle (Elyria, Ohio/Elyria), Michael Hill (Pendleton, S.C./Pendleton), Joey Bosa (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) and hybrid Tyquan Lewis (Tarboro, N.C./Tarboro) in the trenches from the recruiting class of 2013.

Munger is a wide-bodied defensive tackle with a motor that rarely takes time off. His frame fits perfectly in the interior line at 6-foot-3, 280 pounds.

On the heels of landing ESPN 150 cornerback Gareon Conley (Massillon, Ohio/Washington), Ohio State picked up another verbal from an in-state defensive prospect as ESPN 300 defensive tackle Donovan Munger (Shaker Heights, Ohio/Shaker Heights) committed Sunday.

When Conley announced his decision, we mentioned that the Buckeyes' 2013 class is continuing to be defined by its strength among the ‘skilled’ positions, but there is still a noticeable push to strengthen the defensive trenches in Columbus, especially inside. With players like Joey Bosa (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) and Michael Hill (Pendleton, S.C./Pendleton) already on board, they now add Munger, a big man who can develop into a productive and steady presence inside.

Some time in the Buckeyes weight program should greatly benefit him and it would likely be ideal if they can redshirt Munger. However, the four-star uses his hands well and displays some headiness to aid his physical ability to help him be active and productive in the trenches. Best at this stage as a run defender, but shows some flashes as an interior pass rusher.
