Ohio State continued its blazing start to the 2008 recruiting class by picking up commitment #5. Dublin Coffman's Jacob Stoneburner joined teammate Mike Adams with a verbal to the Buckeyes on Monday. Stoneburner gave his verbal commitment to Coach Tressel on a trip to the campus with his Mom. He told Scout.com that he was "born to be a Buckeye".
Stoneburner is considered a flex player, with the ability to play WR or grow into an athletic TE. At 6'5", he creates serious matchup problems with his size and speed. Stoneburner choose Ohio State over offers from USC, Florida, Michigan and Notre Dame. He becomes the fourth top ten prospect in the state of Ohio to make a pledge to the Buckeyes.
Stoneburner's commitment overshadowed the news that highly-rated TE Kyle Rudolph selected Notre Dame over Ohio State on Monday. It seems that a non-Catholic school with no recent history of throwing to the tight end was not an appealing option for Mr. Rudolph.
