Ohio State football: Third prospect commits to 2013 recruiting class
This afternoon blue-chip defensive lineman Billy Price became the third prospect to commit to the Ohio State recruiting class of 2013.
Price, from Austintown-Fitch High School in Austintown, Ohio, said he picked OSU over Michigan State. At 6 feet 4, 280 pounds, Price plays on both sides of the line in high school, but he will major in defensive line play once at OSU.
“I was just really comfortable with Ohio State,” Price said of why he opted to make his decision now. “The academics are really strong, and my family is very comfortable with coach (Urban) Meyer and his staff. I got all the questions I had about Ohio State answered, and it was finally time.”
More importantly for Ohio State, recruiting analyst Bill Kurelic said, Price’s action gives the Buckeyes a sweep of the state’s Big Three for 2013, including cornerback Cam Burrows of Trotwood-Madison and athlete Jalin Marshall of Middletown.
“And it’s still February 2012,” Kurelic said. “This is a huge start for Urban Meyer and his staff, and maybe shows you what’s about to come.”
