Reggie Rogers Visit Update

Massillon athlete Reggie Rogers joined high school teammate and Ohio State commitment Danny Clark for a spring game visit to Ohio State. The 6-foot, 180-pound prospect stars at receiver and safety for the Tigers. He scored 10 touchdowns while hauling in 32 receptions for 691 yards during his junior season. 

Unsurprisingly, his visit to Columbus went well. The coaching staff explained what he needs to do to earn an offer. "I spoke with the wide receiver coach (Zach Smith)," Rogers told Eleven Warriors. "He told me to come to the Friday Night Lights and show out!"

Cincinnati, Kentucky and Toledo have offered the three-star prospect already, but Rogers is still keeping his options open.

Oklahoma DB Will Sunderland Receives Ohio State Offer (11W)

adad

Will Sunderland earned an invite to The Opening this weekend after being named MVP of the Dallas NFTC camp. Today, Ohio State extended an offer to the big time safety prospect from Oklahoma City. The Opening has been good to Ohio State recently, and the Buckeyes hope that trend will continue this year with guys like Will Sunderland.

The word Sunderland repeatedly used to describe what the offer meant to him when we spoke was "blessed," and he was very excited to earn this offer.

Sunderland has great size and speed for a safety at 6-foot-3 and running a 4.50 forty. It shouldn't come as any surprise that he's been garnering a lot of national attention, which should only increase after picking up a coveted invitation to The Opening. Needless to say, he was pretty excited to get the invitation.

Recruiting Updates: Darrin Kirkland, Jr., Sterling Jenkins, Chandler Cox and More (11W)

dada

The spring game has come and gone and the Buckeyes are still sitting at three commitments for 2015, Penn State has 1,241 and the sky is literally falling. 

We expected a few possible commitments this weekend, it's true. They just didn't happen, but that's not to say they won't.

Dre'Mont Jones? He'll be a Buckeye (or I'll eat my shoe). Sh'Mar Kilby-Lane? I'm not fond of percentages but I'd be pretty shocked if he doesn't end up a Buckeye. I hate to beat a dead horse, but I must: patience is necessary. The Buckeyes' plan is the Buckeyes' plan, not yours, and certainly not mine. They are on track.

We'll discuss a few players who made the trip to Columbus this weekend and then we'll talk about a big possible turkey joining an already elite group of players visiting Ohio State this week.

Ohio State recruiting: State Secrets, 4/15 - Chad Lindsay, Ricky DeBerry and more to visit (LGHL)

adad

As was reported Monday evening, Ohio State could land themselves another transfer, this time coming in football. Former Alabama transfer offensive lineman Chad Lindsay, who announced before spring football that he would be transferring to another school, will be making five visits during this week to get a look at the college football landscape. Lindsay had a small chance of actually starting this fall for the Crimson Tide, but decided that his talents were better off elsewhere.

Lindsay would be available to start right away for the Buckeyes should they land the center, as he is a graduate and in his junior year. The 6'2, 302-pound center hails from Texas and was a part of the 2010 recruiting class for Alabama. Lindsay is planning on taking a visit to Ohio State sometime this week as well as Cal, although the day hasn't yet been specified. Urban Meyer and his staff would no doubt like to add Lindsay's experience to the team roster, as he started four games for the Crimson Tide last season.

Here are Chad Lindsay's old high school highlights, so you can get an idea of what he's capable of on the football field:
