Elite Junior Commits to Buckeyes

While Ohio State is working hard to secure the top class in '09, they're already off to a nice start in 2010. Today Ursuline defensive end Jamel Turner committed to the Buckeyes. Turner made the announcement at a press conference at his school in Youngstown, OH.

He becomes the second member of the '10 class, joining another Youngstown native and defensive lineman, J.T. Moore. Turner already reported offers from over 20 top programs, including Notre Dame, Michigan, Illinois and South Carolina.

Turner led his team to the Division V state title, and Rivals.com has flagged him as one of their top 250 to watch. Various scouting sites believe he may be the #1 player in the state of Ohio next year, as Jim Tressel continues to keep quality talent at home.
