Urban Meyer's fourth recruiting class at Ohio State is in the books. How well has "The Closer" performed in recruiting during his tenure as Ohio State's head coach?
This article will look at the players Meyer has recruited at the quarterback position.

By the numbers, Stephen Collier (6-4 / 208 lbs) is the "average" Meyer QB. Collier is also the lowest composite rated QB Meyer has recruited. I expect Collier to prove that rating wrong.
