The Buckeyes spring game wasn't dampened by the heavy rain, as 75,000+ paying fans watched the OSU conclude their April practices. Ohio State hosted a huge group of recruits, including an armada of players from Florida who made the trip north. At least one player already decided he wanted to be a Buckeye - super corner Darrell Givens from Maryland. Givens committed to the coaching staff during halftime, making the game a huge success.
Givens is members of the Rivals250 and currently is ranked at #9 corner in the country by Scout. At one point in high school he played with Buckeye Lamaar "Flash" Thomas, providing a nice connection with the incoming class. He becomes the Buckeyes second corner commit, joining Clayton Northmont's C.J. Barnett.
Givens had offers from virtually all of the top programs, including Florida, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Tennessee. He had previously expressed strong interest in Miami (FL) and Rutgers, so it will be interesting to see if he wavers at all during the process. OSU fans should be very excited to have a player of his caliber on board, a second potential shutdown corner. We'll have much more from the spring game, recruiting news and the 09 position breakdown in the coming days.
