This series will highlight the commitment anniversary date of Ohio State players. I have commitment dates from 2003-2015.

Note: I don't have all of the commitment dates for all of the players from those years, but I'm working on it.

Excerpts from Ken Gordon of The Columbus Dispatch:

Sam Longo, an offensive lineman from Bellbrook High School, near Dayton, announced his commitment to the Buckeyes' 2009 recruiting class Monday.

That will continue a relationship that began when Sam's father, Gene, played linebacker at Miami University in 1980. Tressel was on that staff, coaching quarterbacks and receivers.
