Marcus Foster, 6-1, 200, S/Hybrid, Troy. These days it is not very often that a player jumps into my top ten this late in the process. Foster is a sure Big Four recruit. I don't think he has the speed to be a corner at the next level but he is not a great safety only because he might be an even better prospect at the hybrid position, called the Star at Ohio State. Big time hitter with an aggressive style, and the ball skills of a top wide receiver. Very athletic kid. I don't know who is better, Foster or Bam Bradley. I can't separate the two of them. I say why bother. Put them together in the Buckeye defensive backfield. It would just be raining receivers with alligator arms if these two were patrolling the secondary. Another thing Foster shares with Bradley is excellent academics. It
is a great year for safeties in Ohio with Frank Epitropolous, Allen Gant, DeShawn Hall and a couple of others but they are all looking at the number three spot behind Bradley and Foster.
Cameron Wilson, 6-2, 200, WR, Dublin Jerome. There were always questions about his speed and he did not have a great camp at Ohio State but after watching his film on ScoutingOhi.com I remembered why I liked him in the first place. Wilson is a big split end who plays the split end game. What I mean is he is a go up and get it over the top kind of receiver. Get him one on one and have the quarterback throw it up for him. Let him go get it. He is very physical. He will go across the middle and will drop his shoulder to finish runs. He knows how to use his body. Wilson has long arms and big hands and knows how to use them. He has tremendous ball skills and his awareness is top drawer. After the catch he is as elusive as a player 5-9 and 170.
Evan Jones, 6-6, 240, TE/DL, Ridgewood West Lafayette. We have been asking for athletic bigs in Ohio for as long as I can remember Just what this class needed. Another outstanding big. Why we could not spread them out over a few years I don't know. This kid is from a small school but I could see him blowing up this summer with a good showing on the athlete circuit. He is a better tight end right now, maybe as good as Blake Thomas, but someone is going to give him a shot as a strong side end who could grow into a three-technique tackle. Great body on this kid. Runs well and is very physical. He is one I will be keeping my eye on.
Terrelle Dorsey 6-0, 210, RB, Mansfield Sr. I have to put his name out there. This is a gifted back. I say at least a three-star back who is getting no pub because of the depth of the class in Ohio. A player this talented being no better than the number four back in the state says it all about the talent in the class. Dorsey shows excellent vision and I love how quickly he gets north-south. He is a determined runner with excellent balance and good power. He will be a Big Ten back. He could see offers from that next level of schools behind the Big Four. I am talking about Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan State. Great looking back.
