Ohio State recruiting: Sam Hubbard, 2014 LB, talks OSU visit (lghl)

Being a Notre Dame lacrosse commit isn't keeping football coaches from trying to add Sam Hubbard to their roster. The talented 2014 linebacker visited Ohio State this week, see what Sam had to say about his trip to Columbus. 

Urban Meyer and the Ohio State football coaching staff played host to a few visitors this week. One of the talented prospects to make the trip down to Columbus was 2014 Cincinnati Moeller linebacker Sam Hubbard. The 6-6 225 lb Hubbard doesn't just impress on the gridiron but also at lacrosse, which he is ranked as one of the top Midwest recruits and currently committed to play for the University of Notre Dame. Even though Hubbard has already gave his word to the Fighting Irish it hasn't kept football coaches from trying to change that, schools such as Boston College, Illinois, Louisville and Ohio have offered football scholarships after an impressive junior campaign where Hubbard finished the season with 80 tackles 2 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles helping powerhouse Moeller to a State Championship.

Does anyone know how Garrett's visit to Ole Miss went? They seem like our biggest competition.

Haven't heard about his Ole Miss visit, but per Alex he tweeted earlier today about calling Urban to say hello.  Urban then put Tim Tebow on the line, which made his day.

 

Edit: He also tweeted this image, which I have not seen before. Pretty cool.

Tim Tebow recruiting for us gives me a bit of the creeps, but whatever works, right?

At this point it isn't Ohio State that is selling these recruits rather UFM and what he has done. Having one of the best college QBs ever helping out is clearly closer to awesome than creepy...

 

EDIT: Just to be clear, OSU has draw too, we would still be recruiting well with or without UFM as long as we had a good coach. What is putting out recruiting over the top is UFM though at this point. Having guys that these kids idolized growing up on the phone with them... all bonus in my book. Sells the success they can have under Urban and clearly made a great impression on Garret. I wonder if Garret thought it was creepy... clearly he didn't.

I think additionally it showcases he type of relationships UFM builds with his players.

Great point, I was actually going to come back and add that point. Think about it, Clifton just called him randomly and all the sudden hes talking to a former player.
