LGHL Ohio State could be likely landing spot for Notre Dame decommit

Ohio State could be likely landing spot for Notre Dame decommit

The No. 2 player in the state of Indiana for 2017 is looking for a new place to commit.

News broke on Tuesday afternoon that 2017 linebacker Pete Werner decommitted from Notre Dame. Werner had been committed to the Fighting Irish since last March. This news is relevant to Ohio State because the Buckeyes are the team who are seemingly making a late surge for the four-star prospect. Werner, who already has an Ohio State offer, was in Columbus over the weekend.


Indianapolis Cathedral four-star LB Pete Werner decommits from #NotreDame: https://t.co/FvIceQQC8N

— Steve Wiltfong (@SWiltfong247) November 29, 2016

At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, Werner is an athletic freak who has strength and running speed. He is an absolute take for Ohio State if he wants into the class. He’s a top 300 player and the No. 2 overall player in the state of Indiana, according to 247Sports. With the Buckeyes more than likely falling out of the Anthony Hines sweepstakes, it opens an extra spot that the staff was saving. Werner looks as if he’ll be the player that takes it. Kerry Coombs has led the charge in this recruitment and it could be over sooner rather than later.

OSU going the JUCO route?


There are reports floating around the members of the Ohio State coaching staff were in to see Blinn Junior College prospect Kendall Sheffield yesterday. Sheffield is a former five-star cornerback who played his freshman year at Alabama, before transferring to Blinn. Sheffield is an elite prospect who is highly regarded as the best junior college (JUCO) player in the United States.


Buckeyes in to see Kendall Sheffield today @ Blinn College. Sheffield was a prior 'Bama commit at DB, that left due to playing time.

— Ben van Ooyen (@BuckeyeBVO) November 29, 2016

He holds offers from some big name programs in the country and has the talent to be a starter as soon as he arrives on whichever campus he picks. Sheffield recently visited Columbus so there is definitely mutual interest on both sides. All in all, Sheffield is definitely a player that falls into the “take” category. He will have sophomore eligibility wherever he plays next fall.

Onward to the Lone Star State


Also of note, Urban Meyer reportedly spent his Tuesday in the state of Texas and had an in-home visit with five-star defensive tackle Marvin Wilson. Wilson had a great visit to Columbus for the Michigan game and Urban attempted to carry that momentum into the work week. As you know, Wilson has a strong relationship with newly appointed head coach Ed Orgeron at LSU, but Ohio State is in the thick of the race and definitely has a shot in this one. The Buckeyes will continue to work Wilson and ride this one all the way to the end. Wilson is the number three overall player in the class of 2017.


Urban checking in on Marvin Wilson today, supposedly. #SE17ECT

  • While in Texas, Urban Meyer and Tony Alford checked in on running back commit JK Dobbins. Dobbins appears 100% solid to the Buckeyes.

2016 tOSU OL Discussion

I remember that in 2013, Hyde's first TFL was in mid November. That's not on Hyde, that's on the Slobs. Warinner took Bollman's recruits and turned them into the Slobs. It is just so hard for me to imagine that we're having such severe problems on the OL five years into Meyer's tenure when he's had his own recruits. And we've got to get the RT position shored up. Looking at their performance against scUM, I am certainly apprehensive of Clemson and Alabama, whose DL are as good as, if not superior to scUM's.

Looking at my first post on this thread, I thought Knox and Burrell were sure to start. We're starting a true freshman ahead of either of them. Not a knock on Jordan, but wow!!! (A lol-worthy fact is that posting about Knox was what got me banned from irishenvy.)

New week, same rank.

This is what everybody has been waiting for. The Ohio State Buckeyes are coming off of an amazing 30-27 victory over the Michigan Wolverines in Columbus, a double-overtime thriller. The win allowed the Buckeyes to hold onto their No. 2 ranking in the latest College Football Playoff rankings.

Alabama, per usual, remained at No. 1 after remaining undefeated with their victory in the Iron Bowl over Auburn.

The Buckeyes have done all they can do, and will now have to wait for conference championship games to take place, but they appear to have done a good job in putting themselves in the best position possible considering the circumstances.

Here’s the complete Top 25:

LGHL Ohio State punter Cam Johnston named Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year

usa_today_9689726.0.jpeg

The Aussie is the first player from Ohio State to win the Big Ten award.

Ohio State senior punter Cam Johnston has been name the Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year for the Big Ten Conference. The native Australian has been a big help to a struggling offense this season, with the ability to pin teams back to the 1-yard line consistently and often leading the conference in punting distance and averages.

He leads the Big Ten in 2016 for longest punt (70 yards) against Wisconsin -- narrowly missing his career long (73 yards) from the 2014 national championship season. In addition to holding the conference’s longest punt of the season, Johnston also claims the top two spots for punting average in 2016 against Wisconsin (53.8 yards) and Tulsa (51.2 yards).

In his four years at Ohio State, the red-head has punted for 9,135 yards on 204 attempts. His senior campaign concluded with 2,266 punting yards despite having two games (Rutgers and Nebraska) in which he and his golden foot weren’t needed.

The Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year award was first presented in 2011, and is named in honor of Illinois' Dwight Eddleman and Michigan State's Brandon Fields. Johnston is the first player from Ohio State to win this award.

Last year’s winner was the late-Sam Foltz, who was honored by Ohio State and Johnston — who presented Foltz’ parents with a Buckeye helmet adorned with 27 leaf stickers — in this year’s game against Nebraska.

Marshon Lattimore gets a first team nod by the coaches.

With the Big Ten's defensive lineman of the year already in the fold in Tyquan Lewis, Ohio State reeled in more high praise from the league’s media Tuesday evening.

Joining Lewis on the 2016 All-Big Ten conference team are junior linebacker (and captain) Raekwon McMillan as well as safety Malik Hooker. Corner Marshon Lattimore was named to the all-conference first team by the coaches.

Lattimore was all-conference second team by the media while corner Gareon Conley was all second team by the coaches, and a third-team selection by the media panel.

Joining Conley for third-team honors were kicker Tyler Durbin, the Big Ten’s leader in scoring and kick scoring, who was named by both panels. Parris Campbell was also named to the third-team by coaches

Hooker was snubbed for the conference’s defensive player of the year award which instead went to Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers. The Ohio State safety recorded three interceptions for touchdowns on the season, having six total picks on the season. He would have had four, but one was called back for a block in the back.

Peppers was also the conference’s linebacker of the year over the likes of McMillan and more established, experienced linebackers at Wisconsin and Penn State. McMillan had 37 solo tackles, and 87 total tackles on the season, five of which went for loss, and one, a sack. Despite not padding the stats sheet, he had a great season quarterbacking the defense.

Michigan corner Jourdan Lewis was a worthy recipient at Big Ten defensive back of the year.

Honorable mentions included linebacker Jerome Baker, defensive tackle Michael Hill, defensive ends Jalyn Holmes and Sam Hubbard, as well as defensive backs Denzel Ward and Damon Webb.

Senior linebacker and captain Joe Burger was named the Big Ten’s sportsmanship award honoree.

While there’s always nitpicking about the specific awards and the order of the all-conference awards, with so many Buckeyes scattered throughout the conference’s media and coaches’ All-Conference team, it’s pretty easy to see how they shared the Big Ten East division crown and could be well on their way to a College Football Playoff berth.

Lewis was also named unanimously first team All-Big Ten by the Coaches and the Media.

A year after leading Ohio State in sacks but not getting the glory due to a stud named Joey Bosa, Tyquan Lewis is finally getting his name in the lights.

The Rushmen’s leader by example on the field was named the Big Ten’s 2016 Smith-Brown Defensive Lineman of the Year on Tuesday, ascending to an echelon of all-time great B1G linemen.

The North Carolina product’s added 7.5 sacks to a stellar 2015 and continues to wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks game in-game out.

With a potential move to the pros on the horizon after Lewis and the Buckeyes’ run is finally over, the best may be yet to come for the stellar defensive lineman.

Congrats to Lewis on a phenomenal season (and career) with Ohio State.

Hard not to love the professor after that comment.

It’ll take a long time for the wounds, literal and otherwise, to heal around the Ohio State community. But if any campus is equipped to band together and move beyond the tragic events of November 28, 2016, it’s Ohio State’s.

On Tuesday, not even a day after being slashed by the perpetrator of the attacks, OSU professor William Clark said as he recovered from being clipped by a car and slashed near his ankles the following which will put a smile on any Buckeyes face:


"We're a great university, we still beat Michigan," says OSU Professor William Clark, a victim in Monday's knife attack.

— WHIOTV (@whiotv) November 29, 2016

No one’s prouder of Ohio State than the great students and educators who make up the university. Where cynicism and woe could’ve easily (and beyond understandably) been the overwhelming sentiment Clark felt, he instead elected to preach a dogma that the attack doesn’t define the school’s over 50,000 students.

The next step in the healing process is proving professor Clark right.

The university is holding a #BuckeyeStrong gathering this evening at 7 p.m. at St John Arena for those able to attend:


Together, we are #BuckeyeStrong. Please join us tonight as we gather to listen, learn and heal as a community. Info: https://t.co/xtZ7b9qljm pic.twitter.com/KinlBjg14p
