National Signing Day: Ohio State Solidifies Defensive Line

The ever-popular fax machine in Columbus, Ohio is running on all cylinders this morning with the Ohio State Buckeyes getting their written commitments from a handful of recruits.

Topping the list of names which have rolled in thus far include Se’Von Pittman, Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington with all three men being big, bruising defensive linemen. Pittman, a four-star defensive end from Canton, Ohio was a notorious Michigan State recruit who decided to join the Buckeyes with the hiring of Urban Meyer. Spence, a five-star defensive end who also happens to be ranked No. 2 at his position, was a heavy favorite to join the Penn State Nittany Lions prior to the acquisition of Meyer. Washington, also a five-star defensive end, is a Cincinnati, Ohio native who has been covered by WFNY late last year. He is ranked third overall at his position.

Rounding out the list of defensive linemen is the five-star defensive tackle and Penn State commitment Tommy Schutt. The school is waiting on a decision from three-star, Durham, NC linebacker Jamal Marcus who is reportedly deciding between Ohio State and East Carolina University. His decision is slated to arrive at 10:30am EST.
