Ohio State is getting another Elliott thoroughbred. This one, however, will run track for the Buckeyes.
Lailah Elliott, sister of Ezekiel, committed to Ohio State on Thursday night. She currently attends the John Burroughs School in St. Louis, Missouri. She finished top five in the state in long-jump (second), triple jump (second), high jump (third) and 100-meter hurdles (fifth). Lailah also played basketball for Burroughs.

A recent visit with Urban Meyer (pictured above) may have sealed the deal during an official visit on March 5:

Elliott's mom, Dawn, ran track at Missouri. Her dad played football there, too.
