The Hurry Up: St. Ignatius' Tommy Eichenberg Reopens Recruitment, Julian Fleming Is Forced To Cancel Trip And Nick Broeker Sets Official Visit Date

TOMMY EICHENBERG REOPENS RECRUITMENT

Possibly one of the most important remaining pieces to Ohio State's '19 Dynasty recruiting class could be Cleveland St. Ignatius linebacker Tommy Eichenberg.

After committing to Boston College, the four-star in-state linebacker announced Monday that he has reopened his recruitment. That decision, of course, comes after Ohio State made him an offer Sept. 26. Here's the kicker: Michigan followed the Buckeyes' lead, offering Eichenberg ion Oct. 3. So you know what's coming next: yet another battle on the recruiting trail between the Buckeyes and Wolverines.

I have decided to reopen my recruitment. Thank you Boston College for everything.

When he received his offer from Ohio State, Eichenberg was a three-star prospect. He's since moved to a four-star recruit and is considered Ohio's 13th-best overall prospect in the class of 2019. He's also ranked as the nation's 19th-best inside linebacker.

The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Eichenberg will be one of many recruits to attend Saturday's Ohio State-Michigan game at Ohio Stadium. He made a visit to Michigan earlier this month.

JULIAN FLEMING UNABLE TO ATTEND 'THE GAME'

Originally, five-star receiver Julian Fleming (Catawissa, Pa.) was planning to be in attendance for Saturday's game. But due to a rescheduled playoff game, Fleming will be staying at Southern Columbia High School, trying to help his team beat York Catholic in a Class 2A Eastern semifinal.

Fleming, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound wideout that's helped his team go 13-0 so far this fall, is ranked as Pennsylvania's top overall prospect and as the nation's top receiver. He made a visit to Ohio State, along with a number of his teammates, on Nov. 3 against Nebraska.

That day, he spent a good amount of time with receivers coach Brian Hartline. Currently, Fleming has an abundance of offers. Those schools include Clemson, Georgia, Penn State, USC and over 25 others.

NICK BROEKER SETS OFFICIAL VISIT DATE

For quite some time now, Ohio State has been on the heels of Sacred Heart Griffin (Springfield, Ill.) offensive tackle Nick Broeker. The Buckeyes offered Broeker on Oct. 1 and have since been in constant contact with the 6-foot-6, 283-pound three-star prospect.

Broeker, who committed to Ole Miss on June 14, has two more official visits scheduled before making his final decision. One is to Ole Miss on Dec. 8 and the other is two days later in Columbus. Broeker was originally hoping to be at Ohio State on Saturday, but his high school basketball schedule didn't allow him to do so.

Currently, the Buckeyes have just one tackle in their 2019 recruiting class — Mentor's Ryan Jacoby. Adding Broeker would go a long way in giving what's currently the nation's 13th-ranked class a much-needed bump.

FIVE-STAR CORNER JOINS VISITOR LIST

Ohio State is no stranger to Jacksonville, Florida's Trinity Christian Academy High School. The Buckeyes currently boast of two former TCA athletes on their roster in Tyreke Johnson and Shaun Wade. And, let's not forget about Marcus Crowley, TCA's senior running back to flipped his commitment from Miami (FL) to Ohio State on Nov. 4.

On Saturday, Urban Meyer and company will have the chance to impress another young man from TCA in five-star cornerback Fred Davis II. The 6-foot-1, 177-pound corner is considered to be Florida's top overall prospect in the 2020 class and is ranked as the nation's third-best cornerback in the cycle.

He has a plethora of offers from top-level programs including Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Miami (FL), Oklahoma and Auburn. The Buckeyes offered Davis on Sept. 2.

Dane Middlebrook (Brownsburg, Ind.) also threw hit hat in the ring Tuesday afternoon. Middlebrook, a 6-foot-1, 310-pound defensive tackle was offered by Ohio State on July 24. He also has interest from Ball State, Indiana, Michigan State, Missouri and Purdue.

Davis and Middlebrook will, of course, be joined by tons of other recruits Saturday as the visitor list continues to grow by the day. Recruits who will be on official visits include 2019 commit Bryson Shaw (Potomac, Md.), Florida State commit Renardo Green (Apopka, Fla.), Kentucky commit Cavon Butler (Toledo, Ohio) and uncommitted prospects D'Von Ellies (Owings Mills, Md.) and Jared Harrison-Hunte (Middle Village, N.Y.).

Here's a full list of confirmed visits. We'll continue to update as needed.
