Torrence Latest to Join Buckeyes Class

DeVoe Torrence ended his recruitment today, offering a verbal commitment to The Ohio State University. One of the top players in the state of Ohio for 2008, Torrence is a standout running back and linebacker.
Torrence was considered a lock for OSU early this year, but after visiting Michigan, he told some recruiting services that the two schools were "50/50". Apparently the Michigan coaches told DeVoe he would be buried on the defensive depth chart at Ohio State, but would have an easy path to carries as a Michigan running back. I discussed that nonsense last week, as Michigan changed it's story and is now "only" recruiting Sam McGuffie as a running back.

Torrence will join his brother Devon, a 2007 OSU commit at defensive back. It seemed like Torrence might be waiting for the right time to announce his decision, but he told Scout.com earlier today, "...every day is special, especially when you’re committing to the greatest program in America.” With more than 20 offers in hand, Torrence also indicated that he selected the Buckeyes over Michigan.
