The drama - real or imagined - is over for Glenville's Marcus Hall. Considered one of Ohio's top five players and one of the best line prospects in the country, Hall verbally committed to the Buckeyes on Monday. The announcement was a huge relief for OSU fans and cherry on top of a superb recruiting class for Coach Jim Tressel.Hall was one of the most sought after tackles in the country, boasting offers from Tennessee, Michigan, Miami (FL), Illinois and number of other elite schools. Like most Glenville players, he let the process play out and was in no rush to make a decision. His official visits caused something of a stir, as teams like the Wolverines and Hurricanes would periodically vault into the "lead" for his services. But Ohio State remained the one constant, despite some residual paranoia from Cordale Scott and the threat of teammate Mike Edwards swaying him at the last minute.
Hall is a top 100 player for both Rivals and Scout, and gives the Buckeyes one of the best line classes in the country. He is joined by C Jack Mewhort, G Corey Linsley and T Sam Longo. All four are from Ohio, and replenish a line that loses three starters to graduation.
