The Nike Football The Opening Regionals posts up in Ohio Saturday as some of the Midwest’s best converge on Columbus.
With the talent on the list, it’s going to be hard for the camp staff to invite less than 10 to The Opening Finals on the camp day and several more down the road.
The Buckeyes will be well represented by many who have already committed to tOSU. Here's some names that should be familiar to many of us:
Naturally several from Ohio State’s No. 1 ranked recruiting class will be on hand including two offensive linemen with a great chance to get that golden ticket in Josh Myers and Jake Moretti. Top247 recruits in athlete Brendon White (listed as a receiver for this camp) and defensive tackle Jerron Cage are competing along with running back Todd Sibley, linebackerAntjuan Simmons and Danny Clark.
It should be interesting to see the dynamic between Todd Sibley and Danny Clark. Things have been pretty quiet from both camps since they issue of gray shirting came up a few weeks back.
With The Opening Regional set for Columbus this weekend, it gives the Ohio State staff a chance to have some of the nation's top prospects just minutes away from campus.
It's expected that many of those participating in Saturday's Nike event will swing by OSU at some point during the weekend, with two of those prospects having confirmed visits with Bucknuts already.
2018 DT Trevor Trout, of Saint Louis (MO) Chaminade College Prep told 247Sports that he will be visiting Ohio State today, Friday, as he makes his way to Columbus for The Opening Regional.
Wheels to Ohio State tomorrow!

The other prospect that will definitely be swinging by to see the Buckeyes is Georgia-native Jamyest Williams.
The 5-foot-9, 170-pound athlete tells Bucknuts he is planning on being on campus Sunday, and is looking forward to seeing "everything".
Williams, who is a former teammate and good friend of OSU commit Isaiah Pryor, is being recruited as a cornerback by the Buckeyes. He says Ohio State stands high on his list, mentioning, "they are coming at me very hard and have been very consistent in recruiting me."
There will be plenty of 2018 prospects on-hand as well and many of these names should look familiar to us as well.
The 2018 group has some high-profile prospects as well led by the country’s No. 1 ranked dual-threat quarterback Phil Jurkovec and the country’s No. 1 ranked all-purpose back Jaelen Gill. Other four-stars listed include receiver/tight end L’Christian Smith, running back Markese Stepp, center Tyrone Sampson Jr., receiver Dallas Craddieth and athleteXavier Henderson.
